About:
libgccjit is a library that allows C and C++ programs to compile and execute machine code at runtime. It provides an API for building JIT compilers, enabling dynamic code generation and execution within applications. This allows for high-performance execution of dynamically generated code without requiring an external compiler.
Key Features:
  • C API for JIT compilation
  • Supports C and C++ language constructs
  • Generates native machine code for various architectures
  • Integrates with GCC's optimization pipeline
Use Cases:
  • Building JIT compilers for custom programming languages
  • Implementing dynamic code generation in performance-critical applications
  • Creating domain-specific languages (DSLs) with native code execution
Alternatives:
  • LLVM – More complex but offers greater flexibility and a richer ecosystem of tools
  • libjit – Lighter-weight alternative with a simpler API
