It's slow, complex, and unnecessary?
- sneak 13y agoWhat about when it's a machine for which hardware doesn't actually exist... like a virtual one? How is that less unnecessary?
- emn13 13y agoI wouldn't call a JIT compiler an emulator. However, it's certainly unnecessary (why not just generate the machine code already?), and it generates slower code because JIT compiling is a more difficult task due to the fact that the time limits on the optimizer itself are pretty harsh.
