Re: [ANN] Ravi 0.7 released

I'm curious what prompted you to experiment with libgccjit if you were already working with llvm. Was it a specific limitation you were bumping against, or are you just exploring options to see what you like best/gives you the best performance? Have you also looked at GNU libjit? That one might be x86 only; I'm not sure what their platform support looks like, or if it's actively maintained any more, actually.

The libgccjit based JIT compiler is not yet released as this is work
in progress.
