rayrc / SoftWire

SoftWire is a class library written in object-oriented C++ for compiling assembly code. It can be used in projects to generate x86 machine code at run-time as an alternative to self-modifying code. Scripting languages might also benefit by using SoftWire as a JIT-compiler back-end. It also allows to eliminate jumps for variables which are temporarily constant during run-time, like for efficient graphics processing by constructing an optimised pipeline. Because of its possibility for 'instruction rewiring' by run-time conditional compilation, I named it "SoftWire". It is targeted only at developers with a good knowledge of C++ and x86 assembly.
