Plans for embedding API about hashlink HOT 7 CLOSED

Right now the JIT is not part of the runtime, but you can look at how it's embedded by the hl vm binary here: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hashlink/blob/master/src/main.c

@ncannasse Thanks for you response.

Right now the JIT is not part of the runtime,

What do you mean by this? JIT as in the component emitting the code into memory? Something like GNU lightning?

from hashlink.

@sauer2 yes, the HL VM is JIT powered

@ncannasse No, what I mean is that your comment above sounds like the JIT compiler is somehow separated from the rest of the interpreter. And that sounded strange, to be honest.

from hashlink.

The HL runtime library contains the GC and the HL standard library, it is used by both the HL JIT VM and when compiling to HL/C. Since the later does not require a JIT or a bytecode reader, it's not integrated in libhl but in hl binary which is the JIT VM which links to libhl

from hashlink.

Ah, so it's because by runtime you mean the libraries required to run the code.

Makes sense, I guess.
Thank you for your time.

I have added the necessary documentation for embedding here:
