froofyJIT
froofyJIT is a C++ 'syntactic sugar' front-end for Paolo Bonzini's GNU lightning library for dynamic native code generation. It uses C++'s powerful language facilities to allow GNU lightning instructions to be expressed in a more concise way that approximates a 'real' assembly language. It also includes froofyQua, a preliminary implementation of Henry Massalin's "quajects".

Changes: GNU lightning's frame pointer register has been added to the froofyJIT interface (as froofy::jit::fp) for architectures in which it is defined. Also, froofyQua is no longer compiled and installed on default. Finally, an example speedup patch for TiMidity++ has been added.
- 23 Sep 2007 08:28
Changes: The !org instruction now accepts operands of any pointer type. extr<f-d> and extr<d-f> instructions have also been added.
- 01 Aug 2007 03:59
Changes: froofyQua's buffer_out class is now a class template to allow easier output buffering of data types other than bytes.
- 06 Jan 2007 03:05
Changes: On an x86 with SSE2, floating-point rounding operations are now more efficient. Some problems in the documentation were fixed.
- 29 Dec 2006 11:07
Changes: This release includes froofyQua, a preliminary implementation of Henry Massalin's "quajects". Also, on the x86, this release causes the C compiler to generate less code to assemble arithmetic instructions that contain immediate operands not known at compile time.
