Running

wasmer vs wasmtime? https://wasmtime.dev/ https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3 another competitor? An interpeter?

wasmer? Wait wasmer is a startup? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27537541 zig as a wasm compiler for wasm C? wasmer hello.wasm -i helloWorld wasmtime

Simple javascript opening - instantiate streaming with fetch api. You can directly compile WAT in browser.

Writing Wasm directly

Named parameters vs anonymous. Stack style vs “lispy” style

manual linking of webassembly by passing instantiated modules to other modules. That’s cool.

import external functions export internal definitions

https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk wasi-sdk vs emscripten vs binaryen WASI I guess is kind of like POSIX system calls or libc in some respects?

Ok you can directly execute .wat files wat2wasm –debug-names puts debug names into Custom section of wasm file

https://wasdk.github.io/wasmcodeexplorer/ explore web assembly binary. highlights different pieces https://webassembly.studio/

assemblyscript - an annotated version of typescript that compiles directly-ish to wasm

binaryen - an optmizing compiler that accepts some kind of cfg or wasm. Has C api. wasm-opt will optimize wasm for me wasm2js

Emscripten

Finicky process. There are sections in the above books about this C++ exceptions and threads are something to look for.

Tips:

  • emccmake cmake yada yada

You may need to puts flags into cmake projects. You may need to shield things in your code undo macros

#ifndef EMSCRIPTEN

#endif

More often than not it is linking flags.

Some things are easier or harder on node vs web. You should try both.

Often you need to play with the filesystem FS to make sure stuff exists.

Command line Utility Conversion

By default, emscripten refers to a global object called Module. You can create one with various flags and arguments.

<script>
var Module = {
   "print" : function(text){console.log(text)},
   "printErr" : function(text){console.error(text)},
   

}
</script>

<script src="myemscrtipt.js"></script>

You can add arguments, add to the file system, etc.

You may not want to thing to run as soon as the script tag is run. There is

-sMODULARIZE is a linking option

emcmake cmake -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=”-sEXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS=ccall,cwrap -sEXPORTED_FUNCTIONS=_main”

Souffle

emcmake cmake -S . -B build_wasm -DSOUFFLE_USE_SQLITE=OFF -DSOUFFLE_USE_OPENMP=OFF -DSOUFFLE_USE_ZLIB=OFF -DSOUFFLE_USE_LIBFFI=OFF -DSOUFFLE_USE_CURSES=OFF -DSOUFFLE_ENABLE_TESTING=OFF -DSOUFFLE_TEST_EVALUATION=OFF

-Wno-error

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel

Needed to go into src/CMakeLists.txt and remove -Werror from

Is it actually using my flag?

cd /home/philip/Documents/prolog/souffle/build_wasm/src && /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/souffle.dir/link.txt –verbose=1 /home/philip/Documents/prolog/emsdk/upstream/emscripten/em++ -sMAIN_MODULE=2 -stdlib=libc++ -O3 -fuse-ld=lld -lc++abi @CMakeFiles/souffle.dir/objects1.rsp -o souffle.js @CMakeFiles/souffle.dir/linklibs.rsp

Todo: Support dlopen. MAIN_MODULE=2 somehow should work but maybe need -fpic on entire build?

Modularize=1 was important to get multiple runs independent –no-proprocessor -D - Exposing the filesystem

It turns out link flags is where you put this stuff in cmake file. makes sense.

I believe you can renamed the module https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33623682/how-to-use-fs-when-modularize-and-export-name-are-used-in-emscripten -s EXPORT_NAME=”‘SOUFFLE’”

Minizinc

It just worked. Incredible Runnnig the file didn’t do anything. I needed to do

const lib = require("./minizinc.js");
//var MINIZINC = {arguments: ["--help"]};
console.log(lib());

on node

It seems like it was grabbing my node parameters.

In the browser, I was able to load in and pass in a Module object MINIZINC({arguments : [”–help”]})

Trying to build gecode emcconfigure ../configure emmake make -j8

gecode build suggestions for emscripten https://github.com/Gecode/gecode/issues/67 Hmm. They build a minizinc for wasm somewhere https://gitlab.com/minizinc/minizinc-js https://www.npmjs.com/package/minizinc/v/1.0.4-alpha.77

Ah I need release/6.3.0 branch which has the const fix.

Hmm runnign with node does nothing. I need to make a wrapper to call MINIZINC() It needs to be in an mjs file

Lots of important stuff is in the api reference Module, FS
