Clarify relation of this project to upstream(s)?

[pfalcon]

NanoJIT is a small, cross-platform C++ library that emits machine code. It is part of Adobe ActionScript and used to be part of Mozilla SpiderMonkey but is no longer used in SpiderMonkey.

Cool, so how is this project relates to those projects? Do you work for Adobe? Or for Mozilla, and is discontent with their decision to drop it, or still maintain it? Or is it independent fork?

Thanks in advance for clarification from the entire JIT geeks crowds ;-).

Hi, Adobe has abandoned the avmplus project, the last commit was in 2016. I tried contacting their staff but had no luck. My fork is really an attempt to preserve / revive NanoJIT, but the effort stalled because I found the code generator works best with linear sequences without branching, and doesn't generate great code when there are branches.

Thanks for the response and the info! I guess, it would be helpful to add some of that info to the README. Regarding the state of NanoJIT, quite understood, there's no perfect JIT out there ;-).
