It's a lot of macros defined in the 'jit.h' and 'gambas.h' file located 
in gb.jit, and directly put at the start of the C file.

Of course you have to know how the interpreter works to understand the code.

The C compiler is used there as a sophisticated assembler. It's not 
really C.

You must use GB_JIT_DEBUG=1 and run your project from the command-line. 
That way, you will know if there is a unimplemented bytecode or a crash 
(i.e. bad C code).
