Hi Doug,
Surely JIT compiling must count as self-modifying
code.
If it does, then my computer just runs one program from when I turn it
on. It switches memory formats and then is forever extending itself and
throwing chunks away.
_The Story of Mel_ about self-modifying code is well known. What some
that read it a long time ago might not know... Mel has been identified.
