Does that x86 back end generate code directly into memory, augmenting the running system? Or does it generate code into a file that has to be executed from the OS?
The back-end includes an assembler which can output the machine code to a byte vector or a file. In the tests I have done the code was generated into memory and executed without accessing the filesystem.
