Greetings,

Could any experts out there educate me WHY and HOW does self-modifying code use?
What the advantage of using self-modifying code that non-self-modifying code
cannot achieve?
Is there any compiler which will generate code that self-modified?  
A small and useful example of self-modifying will be very helpful.

Thanks,
Jack Poon
