libjit | Mirror of libjit http : //www.gnu.org/software/libjit/ | Interpreter library

libjit is a C library typically used in Utilities, Interpreter applications. libjit has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Weak Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This library in this distribution implements Just-In-Time compilation functionality. Unlike other JIT's, this one is designed to be independent of any particular virtual machine bytecode format or language. The hope is that Free Software projects can get a leg-up on proprietry VM vendors by using this library rather than spending large amounts of time writing their own JIT from scratch. This JIT is also designed to be portable to multiple archictures. If you run libjit on a machine for which a native code generator is not yet available, then libjit will fall back to interpreting the code. This way, you don't need to write your own interpreter for your bytecode format if you don't want to. The library is distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. See the COPYING.LESSER file for details. The documentation for libjit is in Texinfo format. A general overview is in "doc/libjit.texi" with the remainder of the function documentation in the source files themselves.
