our knowledge, there are none that describe the use and implementation of
guards in this context. With the following contributions we aim to shed some

\section{Related Work}
+SPUR~\cite{bebenita_spur:_2010} is a tracing JIT compiler
+for a C\# virtual machine.
+It handles guards by always generating code for every one of them
+that transfers control back to the unoptimized code.
+Since the transfer code needs to reconstruct the stack frames
+of the unoptimized code,
+the transfer code is quite large.
