But when link-time code generation is combined with dynamic libraries, you've crossed the line into runtime code generation. This places a significant burden on the target environment, and a significant burden of complexity (therefore assurance) on the runtime environment. It's the burden of runtime assurance that mainly concerns me here. shap
