Assembly Interpreter/Embedding C

[Darrell]

I wouldn't try to do this in your own process space.
If it were me I'd create a simple process that can load a file
and execute it. Then you can use off the self debuggers
and isolate the GP faults from your main Python application.

Extra benefit will come from seeing that the debugger sees
the same code you think your writing.

Untested code:

#include <stdio.h>
void Goto(char *fn)
{
 const size_t BufSize=10000;
 FILE *fp=fopen(fn,"rb");
 char *buf=new char[BufSize];
 fread(buf,BufSize,sizeof(char), fp);
 typedef void (*FuncPtr)(void);
 FuncPtr functionPtr=(FuncPtr) buf;
 functionPtr();
}
