This page should help interested persons | This page should help interested persons who want to start hacking on the JIT implementation in octave. It's '''NOT''' intended for octave users. | ||
Thanks to Max Brister's work for GSoC 2012, an initial implement of a just-in-time compiler (JITC) was coded in LLVM. [https://web.archive.org/web/20220124015319/http://planet.octave.org/octconf2012/jit.pdf Here] is Max's [[OctConf 2012]] presentation about his implementation. | |||
The JIT was removed from Octave sources in 2021, see [http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/f254c302bb9c here] for the details and justification. It can still be accessed by looking at an older revision of the Octave repository. | |||

I haven't gone through all parts of the code yet and | I haven't gone through all parts of the code yet and don't understand a lot of it, but my first impression is that it feels like more of a text dump. The various parts need to be separated into different files based on functionality. The current files are a tad too big IMHO. Right now all of the jit parts are in 4 files(+4 header files) which are quite large and a lot of it has no documentation to explain how the different parts come together. | ||
