NativeJIT is a cross-platform C++ library for just-in-time compilation of expressions involving C data structures into optimized x64 machine code. It was developed by the Bing team for fast runtime evaluation of query-specific scoring expressions and has no dependencies beyond the standard C++ runtime.

Use cases

• compile expressions built at runtime into fast x64 code
• evaluate scoring expressions over large document sets with low latency
• generate optimized machine code with good register allocation from C++
• avoid interpreter overhead for repeatedly evaluated expressions
• embed a lightweight JIT in a C++ application without external dependencies

When to choose

• you need to JIT-compile expressions that are only known at runtime
• compilation cost must be low and amortized over many evaluations
• you want a dependency-free, cross-platform C++ JIT library
• you need tight control over generated x64 code quality

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose compiler or full language runtime rather than expression compilation
• your expressions are evaluated only once, so JIT overhead is not amortized
• you need non-x64 targets or GPU code generation
• you need actively developed software with recent releases and extensive documentation
