In-Reply-To: References: <80ac49ab88c41d7cef9e96285eeb4c1b@gmx.de> Message-ID: Topicbox-Message-UUID: b8fa5824-ead6-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Today, of course, we'd call this JIT, and shove it in a new page, and think ourselves clever. The last time I poked at one of these self-modifying bits they were really just jitting a blit loop, in place. Drops register pressure a little bit, which has always been a bit of an issue in x86 land. Paul On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 7:03 AM, ron minnich wrote: > you have to allow for self modifying code.
