GNU lightning
https://www.gnu.org/software/lightning/
Generates assembly language code at run-time.
GNU lightning is a library that generates assembly language code at run-time, it is very fast, making it ideal for Just-In-Time compilers, and it abstracts over the target CPU, as it exposes to the clients a standardized RISC instruction set inspired by the MIPS and SPARC chips.
This is a GNU package:lightning
