JIT is a form of code gen. My claim was about code gen in general, of which JIT is a special case. And I know how compilers work. No "well akshewally..." lecture needed or requested, thanks. And if you re-read carefully what I literally said I did not say Jia Tan used the exact same technique as the OA. You added that supposition and then, conveniently, attacked it. Straw man. FOSS (ie. rando stranger originating) software-based JIT is also a security "smell" at best. Tradeoff bewtween potentially improving perf in some cases vs increasing the amount of exploitable complexity surface for attackers. And always making it harder to reason about what code does at runtime. Less JIT and less code gen, in general, is wise in a world with growing threats from expert attackers backed by nation state level resources. Simpler is safer.
