It’s x86-64 only. A quick look at the https://github.com/tenderlove/tenderjit/blob/main/lib/tender... linked from the README reveals heavy references to x86-64 registers. The “Fisk” library used appears to be a x86-64 assembler in Ruby.
I guess that’s to be expected with “pure ruby” — all the cross-insn backends you can use (Cranelift, LLVM) are written in not-Ruby.
You can write a JIT that generates C code and calls the system's C compiler: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ruby+"MJIT"
There was actually an existing, similar in concept, Ruby JIT, Rhyzome: https://github.com/chrisseaton/rhizome.
It's good to see (IMO) the development of a JIT in a strict sense. I'm personally skeptical about the current approach (invoking a compiler separately).
On the other hand, it's important to know that JITs may take a long development time to be performant, and that they also complicate the performance profile of a virtual machine.
Yeah, here's my main sound repo: https://github.com/mike-bourgeous/mb-sound
There's also an FFI wrapper for jackd: https://github.com/mike-bourgeous/mb-sound-jackffi
I'm certain there are still improvements that could be made to the APIs and to performance, so I'm not currently releasing these on rubygems.
