wasm-toolkit

Ensures your environment can compile C/C++ code to freestanding WASM. Either use the local clang installation or provides statically build binaries.

How to install

npm install @jdmichaud/wasm-toolkit

Build to wasm

cat > add.c
extern void *malloc(unsigned long size);

// add.c
int *add (int first, int second)
{
  int *i = malloc(sizeof (int));
  *i = first + second;
  return i;
}
<EOF>
npx clang --target=wasm32 \
  --no-standard-libraries \
  -Wl,--export-all -Wl,--no-entry -Wl,--allow-undefined \
  -o add.wasm add.c

Inspect a WASM file

npx wasm-objdump -x add.wasm

How to build

You will need:

• cmake version 3 or above

npm run build

And hopefully npm pack will suffice to package the built tools.

How to build on linux

You will need a C/C++ compiler (gcc 11 is fine) and cmake (at least version 3). To build clang, execute:

./make-clang-linux.sh

To build the WASM utilities:

./make-wabt-linux.sh

This should produce the clang/ldd and utilities statically linked binaries in the appropriate dist/ folder.

How to build on windows

You will need a C/C++ compiler (Visual Studio 2019 is fine) and cmake (at least version 3).

To build clang, execute:

./make-clang-win.sh

To build the WASM utilities:

./make-wabt-win.sh

Windows VM on linux

Useful documentation here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/QEMU/Windows_guest

Create a drive:

qemu-img create -f qcow2 win10.img 30G

Download a Windows ISO from microsoft website.

Download the windows drivers ISO image:

curl -sOL https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/virtio-win.iso

Start the VM (replace the ISO name accordingly):

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm \
  -cpu host \
  -drive file=win10.img,if=virtio \
  -net nic,model=rtl8139 \
  -net user,hostname=windowsvm \
  -m 16G \
  -monitor stdio \
  -name "Windows" \
  -boot d \
  -drive file=WindowsISO.iso,media=cdrom \
  -drive file=virtio-win-0.X.XXX.iso,media=cdrom

You might want to install windows without the -nic option first to avoid creating an online account and enable the option on the first boot.

Once virtdio drivers are install, you can add the options:

-vga virtio
-smp cores=$(nproc)

On windows, you will need build tools to be installed. You can find them there.

Additionally, you will need cmake and python (at least 3.9).
