That's great! Why the "basically"?
Just a precaution as it hasn't been tested extensively yet;
Guillaume Piolat (p0nce) successfully tested it with his
commercial codebase though, so it's looking good.
* New, Easy::jit-like interface for dynamic/JIT compilation.
What are the applications of that? Is there a code sample I can
check out?
The linked PR contains some tests, but they aren't showcases. The
dynamic compilation feature per se isn't new; its main
application is probably for a bunch of hot key functions,
compiling them at runtime to fully exploit the CPU's instruction
set (and having the ability to treat some variables as const for
these functions). You may want to contact Ivan Butygin
(Hardcode84) for more infos, this feature is exclusively his
baby. :)
