==Assembly style self-modifying code:==
The kinds of self-modifying code that used in assembly, can be for various purpuses:
<1> Optimisation of a state dependant loop.
<2> runtime code generation, or specialisation of an algorithm in runtime or loadtime (which is popular, for examplein the ___domain of real-time graphics).
<3> alter inlined state of an [[object]], simulating the high level construction of [[closures]]▼
▲<3> alter inlined state of an [[object]], simulating the high level construction of [[closures]].
<4> patching of subrouting address calling, as done usually at load time of [[dynamic libraries]]. Wherther this is regarded 'self-modifying code' or not is a case or terminology.
