interpreters

Bytecode interpreter and JIT compiler skill for implementing language runtimes in C/C++. Use when designing bytecode dispatch loops (switch, computed goto, threaded code), implementing stack-based or register-based VMs, adding a simple JIT using mmap/mprotect, or understanding performance trade-offs in interpreter design. Activates on queries about bytecode VMs, dispatch loops, computed goto, JIT compilation basics, tracing JITs, or implementing a scripting language runtime.
