If someone is willing to revive that I’d gladly assist with
review.
Lastly on Windows it would need FlushCpuCaches call before
executing new memory.
And ofc JIT is cool, but it would be more cool to have sane
interpreter that doesn’t leak sooner. Simply put JIT is x5 work
due to different architectures and seeing first-hand how it
goes I’m not sure we want that in our compiler yet.
Since dmd is only targeting x86/x86_64 there is really just one
arch to support for now.
All the others can fallback to either the interpreter or
generated c code compiled into a shared lib :)
newCTFE already provides a very low-level IR that should be
trivially translatable to machine -code. (famous last words :o) )
