Detailed Description

A dynamic buffer for staged machine code generation.

This structure is used during the JIT compilation process. ABI-specific emitters append instruction bytes to this buffer. It automatically grows as needed, allocating memory from a temporary arena that is destroyed after the final code is copied to executable memory.

error

bool code_buffer::error
