Templates-based portable just-in-time compiler
Alex Iliasov · ACM SIGPLAN Notices · 2003
Usage of the platform-neutral bytecode interpreters is often limited by their restricted performance. Just-in-time compilers effectively solve this problem. However they are hard to develop and retarget. This paper demonstrates that dynamic code generation from the templates created by a C compiler can be used to build a simple and highly-portable JIT compiler.
