Assembling
summary
Proposes a multi-level assembler for the JVM that maps explicit linear memory segments and registers onto Java objects, with directives for labels, imports and meta-information, and optional overflow checks and safety domains. Describes a compiler + VM mapping strategy (bytecode/JIT target), a prototype implementation that supports labels, case/case-like control, unsafe direct memory access, and source-to-source transformation/patching. Claims patches and examples exist and that performance/optimization tradeoffs are measurable in the prototype.
