GNU lightning - GNU Project (original) (raw)

Using and porting GNU lightning

GNU lightning is a library that generates assembly language code at run-time; it is very fast, making it ideal for _Just-In-Time_compilers, and it abstracts over the target CPU, as it exposes to the clients a standardized RISC instruction set inspired by the MIPS and SPARC chips.

Contribute

GNU lightning is usable in complex code generation tasks. The available backends cover the aarch64, alpha, arm, hppa, ia64, loongarch, mips, powerpc, risc-v, s390, sparc and x86 architectures.
