The Ethereum EVM JIT

EVM JIT is a library for just-in-time compilation of Ethereum EVM code. It can be used to substitute classic interpreter-like EVM Virtual Machine in Ethereum client.

Build

The EVMJIT project uses CMake tool to configure the build and depends only on the LLVM library. LLVM installation is not needed, because CMake will download and build LLVM from source. However, LLVM requires Python interpreter to be built.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo

Options

Options to evmjit library can be passed by environmental variable, e.g. EVMJIT="-help" testeth --jit.

Documentation

The documentation can be built using Doxygen:

doxygen docs/Doxyfile

And it is also available online to view.
