assembly - How can I dynamically create and execute machine code at runtime? -


the closest i've gotten assembly building own java class library loads class files , allows create , decompile classes.

while endeavoring project, wondered how jvm generated native machine code @ runtime during jit optimizations.

my question, then, how 1 dynamically create machine code , execute @ runtime assembly?

your question changed substantially (in july 2017). initial variant referred ex (execute) instruction of ibm mainframes.

how 1 dynamically create machine code , execute @ runtime?

in practice, use jit compilation library, , there many of them. or use dynamic loader. @ lowest level, write byte sequences representing valid machine code -a sequence of many machine instructions- in memory segment (of virtual address space) has made executable (read nx bit), , of code jump indirectly address or more call indirectly it, call thru function pointer. jvm implementations use jit compilation techniques. operating systems provide system calls memory segment (e.g. mmap(2) on linux) , make executable (e.g. mprotect(2))

if use jit compilation library asmjit or libjit or libgccjit or llvm or many others, first construct in memory representation (similar abstract syntax tree) of code generated, ask jit library emit machine code it. write own jit compilation code, lot of work (you need understand details of instruction set, e.g. x86 pcs). btw, generating fast-running machine code difficult, because need optimize compilers (and care details instruction scheduling, register allocation, etc... see this), , why using existing jit compilation library (like libgccjit or llvm) preferable (a contrario, simpler jit libraries asmjit or libjit or gnu lightning don't optimize , generate poor machine code).

if use dynamic loader (e.g. dlopen(3) on posix) use external compiler produce shared library (that plugin) , ask dynamic linker load in process (and handle appropriate relocations) , name (using dlsym(3)) function addresses it.

some language implementations (notably sbcl common lisp) able emit on fly machine code @ every repl interaction. in essence runtime embark full compiler (containing jit compilation part).

a trick use on linux emit c (or c++) code @ runtime in temporary file (that compiling domain specific language c or c++), fork compilation of plugin, , dynamically load it. current (laptops, desktops, servers) computers fast enough stay compatible interactive loop.

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod...

ios - Change Storyboard View using Seague -

i have following code checks connection server, , depending on want change views if no connection found. nsstring *connect = [nsstring stringwithcontentsofurl:[nsurl urlwithstring:@"http://myserver.com"] encoding:nsutf8stringencoding error:nil]; if (connect == null) { [self performseguewithidentifier:@"network_failure" sender:self]; } else { // other code here } my problem not change views. have added storyboard segue between 2 views identifier of network_failure . not have navigation controller or that, problem? thanks help! no not problem. first of all, in objectivec exists nil object oriented null . must use that. so: if(connect == nil) or better: if(!connect) so due fact nil not same of null , probably code does't enter in if scope . you have been able discover breakpoint. anyway: be sure set trigger segue (line) 2 view controller , , name network_failure (that not best name. should instead view1toview2 ) as, m...
