39 /// general) know the size of the machine code that we're about to emit before
40 /// we emit it. As such, we preallocate a certain amount of memory, and set the
41 /// BufferBegin/BufferEnd pointers to the start and end of the buffer. As we
42 /// emit machine instructions, we advance the CurBufferPtr to indicate the
43 /// location of the next byte to emit. In the case of a buffer overflow (we
44 /// need to emit more machine code than we have allocated space for), the
45 /// CurBufferPtr will saturate to BufferEnd and ignore stores. Once the entire
46 /// function has been emitted, the overflow condition is checked, and if it has
47 /// occurred, more memory is allocated, and we reemit the code into it.
