Like we use to do in the old days when we were forced to rewrite 
Assembly on the fly.

Allocate a memory buffer with the required sizes and perform the 
required set of initializations.

This is no different than constructing C++ classes during 
runtime, initializing the required helper structures like vtbl 
and calling constructors.

Nothing that cannot be done with either a set of helper functions 
on the language runtime, or generating inline code.

Yes, I am aware that this requires the ability to execute code 
from the data segment.
