I am thinking about how JIT compilers, virtual machines, and memory managers (for example garbage collector) can be implemented in BitC.

I have not found construct that allows raw pointer manipulation or primitives for conversion from number to pointer and back. I think general-purpose system programming language should allow raw access to the memory. IO device drivers also might need to have ability to work with raw memory. Maybe I have missed something obvious.
