Why is a jit needed for native arm software?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Because ARM is not the same as ARM. Windows arm does not natively run on an Apple M1 Processor and MacOS does not run on a raspberry pi.

because its not about jit per se, its about marking pages of memory as executable. doesn't matter whether you compile it or load it from disk, you need to mark the memory as executable so the cpu will run it, and that isnt something "normal" ios apps are allowed to do.
