I think self-modifying outside of JIT runtimes is a pretty rare thing these days compared to the 80s or 90s, .text sections are mostly RO these days and security requirements aren't going to decrease that.

Consider reading the linked article, where this is explicitly addressed:

> Self Modifying and JIT-Compiled Code. Elevator, like all fully static binary rewriters, does not support self modifying or just-in-time-compiled code.

Why doesn't it clean my garage also? I've got some leaves to rake as well.

> Can it handle self-modifying code

If it did, it wouldn't be "fully static" anymore. It's fundamentally contradictory.
