Hey guys I am learning about compiler construction and want to design and create a simple programming language. I am currently exploring various backend projects which are capable of generating machine code on-the-fly.
I have been considering LLVM, Nanojit and Lightning and have found that LLVM is quite large but produces highly optimised binaries (and/or JIT). Nanojit seems a lot smaller and at this point I am unsure as to whether it can do compiled binaries as well as JIT's. Then it occurred to me, V8 is an extremely efficient implementation of JavaScript implemented in C++. Is it feasible for me to use some of the V8 source as the backend for a multiplatform compiler that supports both JIT and native binaries?
