hi,


Is There Any Work In The Area Of Generating A Just-In-Time
Compiler From Specifications? Either Parts, The Instruction
Selector And Register Allocator Seem To Be Handcrafted, At
Least I Could Not Find Any Source That States Otherwise.


At The Moment I Tinker Around With Specifications, And How
An Instruction Selector For A JIT Compiler Could Be Generated.
I Think I Will Go For The Template Approach First, I.E. To
Generate A Static Mapping From Source To Target Instructions,
Which Is Used At Runtime To Emit The Target Instructions.
But Before I Reinvent The Wheel... Is Anybody Aware Of Such
Work?


Cheers,
Jens
