So when we request JIT to compile a function, JIT will immediately returns the function address for raw executable bits. This will greatly reduce the JIT latencies in modern multi-core machines. And also I'm working on designing a ORC in-place dynamic profiling support, by this JIT will automatically able to identify the hot functions, and compile it in higher optimization level to achieve good performance.

Hi Praveen,

FYI the final "commitfest" for PostgreSQL 12 is wrapping up right now
and the code freeze begins in a few days, so I wouldn't expect an
immediate reply.
