It is possible, but I would not do it myself. ASM is for fine grained byte code generation, and a compiler normally needs fine grained emission. All compilers I wrote used ASM and not Byte Buddy, to be open about this. Possibly: check out the class file API in Java 24+ if that is open for a base line. |

Wow, thank you so much, I didn't know this existed! |

I want to compile a language down to JVM bytecode. Most examples I’ve seen use ByteBuddy for runtime code generation and aren’t intended for static code generation. The docs mention that I would need ASM to handle stack frames. ASM’s APIs are too low-level/ugly for me, but I don’t mind deviating from the happy path with ByteBuddy. Has anyone gone down this path before?
I might have some misconceptions, but I was hoping someone could offer guidance.
