Can you link to docs about the wasm object format? (both relocatable and executable) Also, traditional object file linkers are primarily concerned with concatenating binary blobs with small amount of patching of said binary blobs based on computed virtual (memory) addresses. Or perhaps to put it another way, what traditional object file linkers do is construct program images meant to be mapped

Hi Sam, First, I want to know the symbol resolution semantics. I can imagine that that is set in stone yet, but just that you guys are still discussing what would be the best semantics or file format for the linkable wasm object file. I think by knowing more about the format and semantics, we can give you guys valuable feedback, as we've been actively working on the linker for a few years

wasm-ld is currently unable to link a shared wasm library (generated with `wasm-ld --shared`) with .o files and produce a working executable. I'm curious if there's a fundamental reason for this, or is this simply something that wasn't needed and could be implemented if needed. I think this could be done by - Resolving "GOT.mem" and "GOT.func" imports and

Hi Sam, Thanks for your answer! Sorry I didn't really know how to process, but this issue block me to make some legacy C code works without having some glue with a bit static lib ;( (The change have really low risk) The changes I used locally to make dlopen/dlclose et dlsym mechanism works :) : Index: wasm/Writer.cpp =================================================================== ---

Hi, Sorry if you've seen this message before on llvm.discourse.group or elsewhere -- I've been trying to get to the bottom of this for a while now and asked about this in a few different platforms before. I'm currently trying to debug a bug in a LLVM-generated Wasm code. The bug could be in the code that generates LLVM (rustc) or in the LLVM, I'm not sure yet. LLVM IR and Wasm

Hello, The table generated by lld (Wasm target) have a max size. So this make impossible to add some others functions in the table . As for the moment only one Table is available in WAsm this is the only way to add function in a dynamic way. Having a none static size of the table is useful for a kind dynamic loader/inker at run-time: by adding some exported functions coming from another

Okay, so where should I send questions for WebAssembly? Is it this mailing list or a different one? I want to ask about how to compile WebAssembly modules with Clang directly, without Emscripten, for situations like what I have currently where I have a problem with generating WebAssembly and/or JavaScript glue code (I have a problem with the gen_struct_info stuff; I asked on the Emscripten

Apologies if there is a better forum for these questions. Please redirect me if so. I’ve been using the clang/wasm-ld tools to experiment with some basic examples, and there’s a couple things I’m wrestling with. 1) How to denote a function as the “start” function (https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/binary/modules.html#start-section) 2) How to avoid the defaulted __heap_base global. I’ve

Using LLVM v5, my Cone compiler (https://github.com/jondgoodwin/cone) automatically directly generated all functions as named and exported for both wasm text and binary files (not using clang/lld etc, but using the API). Upgrading to LLVM v7, generated wasm object files now fail, exhibiting markedly different behavior, behavior that varies between the text and binary files. For example, the

If anyone is integrating Opus audio into a web or JavaScript application, I wrote a WebAssembly Opus decoder that uses libopusfile to decode Opus files in chunks using the JavaScript Streams API. This decoder can begin decoding after receiving the Opus headers and first audio data page: https://github.com/AnthumChris/opus-stream-decoder All thoughts and contributions are welcome, and I'm

Hi, I am using LLVM as the backend in a small hobby compiler project I'm working on. I plan to support all platforms that LLVM supports (limited by my available hardware only). As far as I can tell, there are different linkers for the various host systems out there (the output of 'lld' if you invoke it on Arch Linux): lld is a generic driver. Invoke ld.lld (Unix), ld64.lld

Hello. Excuse me. Why CMakeLists.txt from llvm-3.9.1.src does not contain WebAssembly target? So, it is like set(LLVM_ALL_TARGETS AArch64 AMDGPU ARM BPF Hexagon Mips MSP430 NVPTX PowerPC Sparc SystemZ X86 XCore ) but not like set(LLVM_ALL_TARGETS AArch64 AMDGPU ARM BPF Hexagon Mips MSP430 NVPTX PowerPC Sparc SystemZ Webassembly X86

Hi, when linking with lld/wasm with a symbol like: @_typeinfo__rtti_te_Module6_d_Test = private constant i8* bitcast (@_rtti_te_Module6_d_Test to i8*), section "ELRTTLRR", align 4 How do I get the start and end of the ELRTTLRR section? LLD doesn't seem to emit that info, nor does it define a __start_ELRTTLRR/__stop_ELRTTLRR section?

Has anyone attempted to compile R (probably without any OS bindings) to WebAssembly / Emscripten? If so, how far did you get? (would be crazy awesome if you could get all the way to a ggplot bitmap output). If not, is this a waste of time or is there some daylight to doing this? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Somehow I wish not all parts of a libc but parts that can be provided without a JavaScript wrapper for .wasm can be provided from llvm's libc (leaving a stab implementation for the rest like file system). I've put together a minimal libc on [1] so using a 26kb .wasm binary file one can decode both PNG and JPG using this [2] simple to integrate JavaScript code, can be easily ported in other
