we're pleased to announce the first release of Harpy.

Harpy is a library for run-time code generation of x86 machine code. It provides not only a low level interface to code generation operations, but also a convenient domain specific language for machine code fragments, a collection of code generation combinators and a disassembler.

Impressive. Does the library require that an assembler ( e.g. MASM) be installed?

No. Check out the code. It directly generates x86 machine code in memory and you can execute it in-place. It's pretty cool. Duncan
