- torginus 5y agoYeah it's weird - basically all JIT compilers have this feature built-n - they usually create stubs for not yet called functions which invoke the JIT, and replace the stub calls with actual executable code.
- pjmlp 5y agoVisual Studio also has had it for several years in debug mode for C++, Edit-and-Continue. Since last year they have been working on it to make it more dynamic, improving the use cases. It is these little things that make it so much better than the UNIX alternatives. However there is also ROOT and now CINT from CERN, or Live++.
