Table of Contents

Libraries

Help you implement JIT

  • AsmJit - Complete x86/x64 JIT and Remote Assembler for C++
  • DynASM
  • LibJIT
  • LLVM - MCJIT
  • LLVM - ORC - Successor to MCJIT
  • GCC - libgccjit
  • GNU lightning - a library that generates assembly language code at run-time
  • Xbyak - JIT assembler for x86(IA32), x64(AMD64, x86-64) by C++
  • sljit - a stack-less platform independent JIT compiler
  • MIR - a new JIT backend in C being developed by a Redhat GCC maintainer
  • NanoJIT - a small JIT engine originally written by Adobe for Flash
  • nj - a JIT engine written in C++ based on Eclipse OMR. Eclipse OMR is used in IBM's Java implementation, but the JIT engine is generic
  • Cranelift - A Rust powered JIT compiler for x86-64, aarch64 and s390x created by the Wasmtime team for their WASI interpreter.
