12:03 < FROGGS> hi everybody, is this channel logged?
13:12 < katlogic> Only past 2 days
13:14 < FROGGS> hmmm, does Mike Pall pop in from time to time?
13:15 < katlogic> last time i've seen him on irc was like 2011
13:15 < FROGGS> I am asking because we'd need some clarification that might work best on irc
13:15 < FROGGS> ohh, hehe
13:15 < FROGGS> okay, mailing list is fine then :o)
13:15 < katlogic> FROGGS: well, feel free to ask here
13:16 < FROGGS> it is about this: http://www.freelists.org/post/luajit/runtime-variable-register-in-dynasm,2
13:16 < katlogic> You want dynasm to patch in dynamic registers
13:16 < FROGGS> we (the Perl 6 community) has a GSoC project about implementing a JIT in one of Perl 6's backends, and 
                this is an issue right now
13:17 < katlogic> Yeah, thats not original design. I'm working around this by using stack offsets.
13:17 < katlogic> ie mov [esp+x], eax
13:17 < FROGGS> either that, or get some guidance to do that on our own and then provide a pull requenst
13:17 < FROGGS> request*
13:17 < katlogic> Because x86 does register renaming, the end result is the same (and less trouble designing custom 
                  register allocator)
