I wonder if they know about TAOS and its virtual ISA JIT VM?

How is it validated? I have yet to discover something more frustrating than debugging a code generation bug that's actually an assembler bug.

there is a define to uncomment for generating instructions and decoding them with capstone to check whether they are valid.

I mean there is main to output them on stdout so you can check.

The close parallel is AsmJit: https://github.com/kobalicek/asmjit. I'm curious how it compares.

This looks like the very start of a project that's not far along (and hasn't been updated in a year). Why is it interesting at this stage?

yeah, it is an experimental project which isn't even multi-platform right now. There are some parts I don't like and have not a lot of time to rework it.

How does this compare with numerous other similar things (LLVM, libJIT, Lightning, etc.)?
