First off, VB3/45/6 (classic COM) doesn't have JIT compiling.
Are you thinking about VB.Net? If so, the answer is yes and you can view the
IL with various views. Post in a dotnet newsgroup for additional
information.
With VB Com it is possible to interrupt VB's compile processes and view the
..obj files passed to the C2 compiler. It is also possible compile a VB
program with Symbolic Information which can provide some interesting
insight. But you have to have a good feel for assembly.
