I wrote an easily retargetable (one-two days) tool to write JIT
compilers which is also very fast, ranging at about 10 cycles per
generated instruction. It is very similar to VCODE but faster; I'm
going to use it for GNU Smalltalk's just-in-time compiler.


I'm going to upload it on alpha.gnu.org soon (say on Monday) together
with documentation on how to use it and port it. I'm posting so that:
a) you know it exists and you can use it b) since I only have a PC
here at home, I'd be grateful if somebody downloaded it and tested the
SPARC and PowerPC back-ends.


Thanks in advance
Paolo Bonzini
