CppCon—Just-in-Time compilation This completes our Brief History… But there’s one more thing I want to mention.Security The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good-natured, she thought: still it had very said I wouldn’t go into downsides of JiT compilation too much, but one I want to dig int a bit is security. Good news about JiTs: you’re now shipping a compiler! Bad news about JiTs: you’re now shipping mention of compilation related vulnerabilities. This CWE entry concerns a compiler optimizing away a security check inserted by a developer. One concern with complex JiT engines is a compiler producing incorrect
