GNU lightning

GNU lightning is a free-software library for generating assembly language code at run-time. Version 2.1.3, released in September 2019, supports backends for SPARC (32-bit), x86 (32- and 64-bit), MIPS, ARM (32- and 64-bit), ia64, HPPA, PowerPC (32-bit), Alpha, S390 and RISC-V (64-bit).
Advantages over other libraries.
The features GNU lightning provides make it useful for Just-in-Time Compilation. In comparison to libraries such as LLVM or libJIT, GNU lightning provides only a low-level interface for assembling from a standardized RISC assembly language—loosely based on the SPARC and MIPS architectures—into the target architecture's machine language.
Disadvantages.
It does not provide register allocation, data-flow or control-flow analysis, or optimization.
Instruction set.
GNU lightning's instruction set is based loosely on existing RISC architectures.
Types.
When required instructions handle data with these 9 types:
Projects that use GNU lightning.
Racket, GNU Smalltalk, GNU Guile, and CLISP make use of GNU lightning for just-in-time compilation. GNU lightning was first developed as a tool to be used in GNU Smalltalk's dynamic translator from bytecodes to native code.
