# MJIT
This document has some tips that might be useful when you work on MJIT.
## Supported platforms
The following platforms are either tested on CI or assumed to work.
* OS: Linux, macOS
* Arch: x86\_64, aarch64, arm64, i686, i386
### Not supported
The MJIT support for the following platforms is no longer maintained.
* OS: Windows (mswin, MinGW), Solaris
* Arch: SPARC, s390x
### Architectures
## Bindgen
If you see an "MJIT bindgen" GitHub Actions failure, please commit the `git diff` shown on the failed job.
Refer to the following instructions for doing the same thing locally.
Similar to `make yjit-bindgen`, `make mjit-bindgen` requires libclang.
See also: [mjit-bindgen.yml](../.github/workflows/mjit-bindgen.yml)
macOS seems to have libclang by default, but I'm not sure how to deal with 32bit architectures.
For now, you may generate c\_64.rb with a 64bit binary, and then manually modify c\_32.rb accordingly.
### x86\_64-linux
```sh
sudo apt install \
build-essential \
libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev \
zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev \
libclang1
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-yjit=dev_nodebug --disable-install-doc
make -j
make mjit-bindgen
```
### i686-linux
```sh
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt install \
crossbuild-essential:i386 \
libssl-dev:i386 libyaml-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 \
zlib1g-dev:i386 libncurses5-dev:i386 libffi-dev:i386 \
libclang1:i386
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-install-doc
make -j
make mjit-bindgen
```
Note that you cannot run x86\_64 bindgen with an i686 binary, and vice versa.
Also, when you install libclang1:i386, libclang1 will be uninstalled.
You can have only either of these at a time.
## Local development
### Always run make install
Always run `make install` before running MJIT. It could easily cause a SEGV if you don't.
MJIT looks for the installed header for security reasons.
### --mjit-debug vs --mjit-debug=-ggdb3
`--mjit-debug=[flags]` allows you to specify arbitrary flags while keeping other compiler flags like `-O3`,
which is useful for profiling benchmarks.
`--mjit-debug` alone, on the other hand, disables `-O3` and adds debug flags.
If you're debugging MJIT, what you need to use is not `--mjit-debug=-ggdb3` but `--mjit-debug`.
