---
## Purpose
SLJIT is a low-level, platform-independent JIT compiler, which is very well suited for translating bytecode into machine code.
## Features
- Supports a variety of target architectures:
- `x86` 32 / 64
- `ARM` 32 / 64
- `RISC-V` 32 / 64
- `s390x` 64
- `PowerPC` 32 / 64
- `LoongArch` 64
- `MIPS` 32 / 64
- Supports a large number of operations
- Self-modifying code
- Tail calls
- Fast calls
- Byte order reverse (endianness switching)
- Unaligned memory accesses
- SIMD
- Atomic operations
- Allows direct access to registers (both integer and floating point)
- Supports stack space allocation for function local variables
- Supports all-in-one compilation
- Allows SLJIT's API to be completely hidden from external use
- Allows serializing the compiler into a byte buffer
- Useful for ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation
- Code generation can be resumed after deserialization (partial AOT compilation)
