Breaking Changes
----------------
Breaking the API is sometimes inevitable, what to do?
* See [Breaking Changes Guide](https://asmjit.com/doc/group__asmjit__breaking__changes.html), which is now part of AsmJit documentation.
* See asmjit tests, they always compile and provide implementation of many use-cases:
* [asmjit_test_emitters.cpp](./test/asmjit_test_emitters.cpp) - Tests that demonstrate the purpose of emitters.
* [asmjit_test_assembler_x86.cpp](./test/asmjit_test_assembler_x86.cpp) - Tests targeting AsmJit's Assembler (x86/x64).
* [asmjit_test_compiler_x86.cpp](./test/asmjit_test_compiler_x86.cpp) - Tests targeting AsmJit's Compiler (x86/x64).
* [asmjit_test_instinfo.cpp](./test/asmjit_test_instinfo.cpp) - Tests that query instruction information.
* [asmjit_test_x86_sections.cpp](./test/asmjit_test_x86_sections.cpp) - Multiple sections test.

Project Organization
--------------------
* **`/`** - Project root.
* **src** - Source code.
* **asmjit** - Source code and headers (always point include path in here).
* **core** - Core API, backend independent except relocations.
* **arm** - ARM specific API, used only by ARM and AArch64 backends.
* **x86** - X86 specific API, used only by X86 and X64 backends.
* **test** - Unit and integration tests (don't embed in your project).
* **tools** - Tools used for configuring, documenting, and generating files.
