Most commonly, you generate machine code as a callable function, and you store
the location of the machine code in a function pointer, so that you can call
the code directly from C just like you would with any other function pointer.
That ensures proper execution flow, and it means you have consistent calling
conventions between C code and JIT-generated machine code.
