The biggest problem with jit/i386/jit_emit.h is that there are two layers above one another: old code C<emit_*> and the newer and more regular C<jit_emit_*> as described in the naming conventions for JIT code. And to complicate matters and bewilder a casual hacker operand directions are reversed between the two layers. It's probably best to start over with a cleaner implementation that additionally has a notion of the REXX prefix for x86-64. I don't know anything about license issues, but: $SRC/mono-1.x.y/mono/arch/amd64/amd64-codegen.h might be a better start. leo
