A JIT in C++ ? I doubt that  ;-)

A JIT has to be handcrafted to every single target-CPU, and
somehow I doubt that SUN would just hand out a 68k-version ....

There is simply no market to raise a eyebrow in one of those companies.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Yes, I know, but IMO using inline asm and that stuff in a C++
means it ain't C++ but asm .....

Same goes for the old C-tricks.

If you want to write a efficient JIT, you will have to go down
to asm, there is simply no other way.
