[Tachyon-list] x86 code generator and in-memory assembler

We need to start implementing the x86 code generator and in-memory assembler. Once we have that we can start experimenting with dynamic code generation and start work on the Tachyon back-end. We can use the code I wrote for the Gambit x86 back-end as a starting point. It supports code generation for 32 and 64 bit architectures and most of the instructions and addressing modes we need are implemented. So this work will be in large part a translation effort from Scheme to JS. The in-memory assembler is about 800 lines of Scheme. The x86 code generator is about 1400 lines of Scheme.

Who is interested in working on this?
