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.
