> On that note: GCC doesn't provide a nice library to give access to its internals (unlike LLVM). So we have to use libgccjit which, unlike the "jit" ("just in time", meaning compiling sub-parts of the code on the fly, only when needed for performance reasons and often used in script languages like Javascript) part in its name implies, can be used as "aot" ("ahead of time", meaning you compile everything at once, allowing you to spend more time on optimization).

Is libgccjit not “a nice library to give access to its internals?”
