[Libjit-developers] libjit and AMD64

[Basile STARYNKEVITCH]

It seems that libjit is rather stable these days....

I might be interested in helping porting libjit to AMD64 (x86-64)
but I cannot promise anything.

I thought that some work has already started on AMD64, but the only file 
I can find (related to AMD64) in the latest CVS of libjit is 
libjit/jit/jit-apply-x86-64.h

Or maybe libjit is nearly dead?

It is quite strange that the only way of generating machine code on 
AMD64 seems to be LLVM http://llvm.org/ apparently the GNU lightning 
1.2b port is not fully complete....

This seems quite strange, since I thought that AMD64 (or x86-64) is the 
dominant architecture (at least on servers) today...

Regards
