Re:Writing a self-modifying x86 factorial program by gpderetta on Wednesday December 15, 2021 @06:53AM (#29564714)
Inlining passed function pointer is not really a JIT only optimization. As long as the pointer is a constant it only requires interprocedural optimizations and/or link time optimization.

The jit can help if the value of the pointer varies dynamically and in an unpredictable way (otherwise PGO would also help).
