; This is the work horse of the whole JIT: It actually copies the code.
; Notes from ~dvander (with help of dJeyL)
; This takes a source and ending address pointer in the assembled JIT code.
; Then it subtracts them and copies the code in between.
; The last parameter is the number of bytes the opcode is so it can jump
; to the next one.
; Also note that the "in between" code is NEVER executed during the compile
; phase of the JIT. It's only assembled in memory, and copied into the
; final output bytecode by this function.

; Notes by ~dvander (thanks to dJeyL) - this will take an address and modify
; the dword at it. Since the JIT copies already assembled code, you see
; things like "call 12345678h". This is an arbitrary value as putval
; will modify it in memory and then GO_ON will add it to the program.
; It is important to get the putval address right - it's in bytes.

; Notes by ~dvander: This is sort of what amx_BrowseRelocate() does, although
; relocation is actually done after code generation (this just adds to a
; table). Like putval, this takes in an address and marks it to be
; rewritten. It is a good idea to just use labels to find relocation
; offsets (see OP_CALL and OP_RETN). After code generation, this table
; is browsed and the correct threaded jumps are placed.
