Yes! I've been waiting for a practical tool like this, and would love to write a JIT for Squirrel/Quirrel using it.

But I'm looking through the luajit-remake codebase, and there is still a lot of code. Assuming that the drt and deegen directories are Deegen (however, at lease drt/tvalue.h is clearly part of the VM, not of Deegen):

  > fd . -e h -e cpp | egrep -v "test|thirdparty|deegen|drt" | xargs wc --total=only --lines
  34734
  > fd . -e h -e cpp | egrep -v "test|thirdparty" | xargs wc --total=only --lines
  97629

In comparison, Lua 5.2.4 is 20.3k lines of C and LuaJIT 1.1.5, which is a (comparable?) method JIT compiler, is 22.8k lines of C and 4.8k lines of Lua (for dynasm and JIT support). LuaJIT 2.1 is 74.9k lines of C, 13.7k Lua.
