138 :: emscripten

• adrianv (orginal) [2013-03-22T14:10:21+01:00] view original

  I tried to get nimrod generated code to be compiled with emscripten, but get errors in nimbase.h

  error: 'assert_numbits' declared as an array with a

  negative size

  typedef int assert_numbits[sizeof(NI) == sizeof(void*)

  has anybody already succeeded with emscripten ? it could be an option until the native JS target is full working (and it supports already asm.js)

  You can use --cpu:i386 to get around the 'assert_numbits' check but then that won't help: Somebody needs to port Nimrod's GC to it -- and this doesn't look trivial...

  And afaict the native JS target is quite usable already. ;-)

  thanks,

  seems like it is not so easy to use emscripten - beside some small issues which can be fixed manually (no symbol MAP_ANONYMOUS - use MAP_ANON instead and rename timezone to _timezone) emscripten now crashes with an out of memory error...

  so I succeed now with the native JS target - after doing some workarounds for some library problems.
