Optimal code
for bitblt (raster block transfers) in the Blit
Interesting case. I'm not familiar with BitBLT codes, do they actually modify
the existing program, or rather do they build small custom ones? Only the
former is what I was thinking of.
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.
