How to write a simple JIT compiler

Eli Bendersky has another great, even simpler introduction (from 2013) to JIT compiling but with hardcoded instructions [0]. And a more recent post on JIT compiling Brainfuck [1].

I wrote a blog post about a Brainfuck JIT too: https://blog.reverberate.org/2012/12/hello-jit-world-joy-of-...

Mine uses the DynASM framework developed for LuaJIT, so that the assembly instructions can be written symbolically: https://luajit.org/dynasm.html

It amazes me how often I find myself following links back to Eli's blog, unexpectedly. Dude's a treasure.
