As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong), Box86/64 takes the target binary and recompiles it to the target architecture (armhf/64). Is it possible to save the recompiled binary to a file?

This would be useful for debugging purposes and would improve runtime speed.

It's not possible for now.

  1. Only used code is compiled, it's not a static recompilation of the whole binary/libs (it's a JIT)
  2. Relocation are tricky and need to be taken into account when doing save

There might be an AOT compiler at some point, but not in the immadiate (less immediate) future.

Good to know, though kind of disappointing :( I'll close this issue for now...

I think it would make more sense to have this as a Discussion instead of an Issue.
