This document describes changes between tagged Emscripten SDK versions.
Note that version numbers do not necessarily reflect the amount of changes between versions. A version number reflects a release that is known to pass all tests, and versions may be tagged more or less frequently at different times.
Note that there is no ABI compatibility guarantee between versions - the ABI may change, so that we can keep improving and optimizing it. The compiler will automatically invalidate system caches when the version number updates, so that libc etc. are rebuilt for you. You should also rebuild object files and libraries in your project when you upgrade emscripten.
Not all changes are documented here. In particular, new features, user-oriented fixes, options, command-line parameters, breaking ABI changes, deprecations, significant internal modifications and optimizations etc. generally deserve a mention. To examine the full set of changes between versions, you can use git to browse the changes between the tags.
See docs/process.md for more on how version tagging works.
- musl libc updated from v1.2.3 to v1.2.4. (#19812)
- The
EM_LOG_FUNC_PARAMS
flag toemscripten_log
/emscripten_get_callstack
has been deprecated and no longer has any effect. It was based on a long-deprecated JS API. (#19820) - The internal
read_
andreadAsync
functions no longer handle data URIs. (Higher-level functions are expected to handle that themselves, before calling.) This only effects builds that use-sSINGLE_FILE
or--memory-init-file
. (#19792) - The
asm
property of the Module object (which held the raw exports of the wasm module) has been removed. Internally, this is now accessed via thewasmExports
global. If necessary, it is possible to exportwasmExports
on the Module object using-sEXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS=wasmExports
. (#19816) - Embind now supports generating TypeScript definition files using the
--embind-emit-tsd <filename>
option.
- Handling i64 arguments and return values in JS functions is now much simpler
with the new
__i53abi
decorator. When this is set to true, i64 values are automatically converted to JS numbers (i53) at the JS boundary. Parameters outside of the i53 will show up as NaN in the JS code (#19711)
- The default minimum Node version of Emscripten output was bumped from 10.19 to
16.0. To run the output JS in an older version of node, you can use e.g.
-sMIN_NODE_VERSION=101900
which will apply the previous minimum version of 10.19.0. (#19192). - The log message that emcc will sometime print (for example when auto-building
system libraries) can now be completely supressed by running with
EMCC_LOGGING=0
. - Runtime dynamic linking symbols such as dlopen and dlsym will no longer cause
a linker error when building without
-sMAIN_MODULE
. Instead stub functions will be included that fail at runtime. This matches the behaviour of other libc functions that we don't implement. For those that prefer to get a linker error we have the-sALLOW_UNIMPLEMENTED_SYSCALLS
settings. (#19527) - The
modifyFunction
helper inparseTools.js
was renamed tomodifyJSFunction
and its callback function no longer takes the name of the function being modified. The name is not relevant for JS library functions and can be safely ignored. - JS library functions can now be implemented using ES6 arrow notation, which can save to a few bytes on JS code size. (#19539)
- A new setting (
CHECK_NULL_WRITES
) was added to disabled the checking of address zero that is normally done whenSTACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK
is enabled. (#19487) - compiler-rt updated to LLVM 16. (#19506)
- libcxx and libcxxabi updated to LLVM 16. (#)
- The
_emscripten_out()
,_emscripten_err()
and_emscripten_dbg()
functions declared inemscripten/console.h
no longer have the underscore prefix and are now documented. (#19445)
- The JS
err()
function will now bind toconsole.error
by default rather thanconsole.warning
. For debugging/tracing/logging we recommend thedbg()
function instead. (#19326) - The
WASM2C
options has been removed. All known users are using upstream wabt these days anyhow.
- The
dladdr
function will now always return an error rather than filling in dummy values. (#19319) - The restriction preventing the use of dynamic linking in combination with
-sDYNAMIC_EXECUTION=0
was removed. This restriction was being enforced unnecessarily since dynamic linking has not depended oneval()
for a while now. - Remove extra code for falling back to long-deprecated BlobBuilder browser API when Blob constructor is missing. This was a fix for an issue that has long been fixed. (#19277)
- The
EM_PYTHON_MULTIPROCESSING
environment variable no longer has any effect. This was added a temporary fallback but should no longer be needed. (#19224) - The old reverse dependency system based on
tools/deps_info.py
has been removed and the existing__deps
entries in JS library files can now be used to express JS-to-native dependencies. As well being more precise, and extensible via user-supplied JS libraries, this also speeds up link times since we no longer need scan linker inputs usingllvm-nm
. It also completely removes the need for theREVERSE_DEPS
settings which has now been deprecated. (#18905) - Bump the default minimum Firefox version from 65 to 68 (#19191).
- Background pthreads no longer prevent a Node.js app from exiting. (#19073)
- The
USES_DYNAMIC_ALLOC
setting has been deprecated. You can get the same effect from-sMALLOC=none
. (#19164)
- The following JavaScript runtime functions were converted to JavaScript
library functions:
- UTF8ArrayToString
- UTF8ToString
- stringToUTF8Array
- stringToUTF8
- lengthBytesUTF8 If you use any of these functions in your JS code you will now need to include them explictly in one of the following ways:
- Add them to a
__deps
entry in your JS library file (with leading $) - Add them to
DEFAULT_LIBRARY_FUNCS_TO_INCLUDE
(with leading $) - Add them to
EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS
(without leading $) - Set
-sLEGACY_RUNTIME
to include all of them at once.
FS.loadFilesFromDB
andFS.saveFilesToDB
were removed. We think it's unlikly there were any users of these functions since there is now a separate IDBFS filesystem for folks that want persistence. (#19049)allocateUTF8
andallocateUTF8OnStack
library function moved tolibrary_legacy.js
. Prefer the more accurately namedstringToNewUTF8
andstringToUTF8OnStack
. (#19089)SDL_image
port was updated to version 2.6.0.-z
arguments are now passed directly to wasm-ld without the need for the-Wl,
prefix. This matches the behaviour of both clang and gcc. (#18956)- Reverted #18525 which runs the JS pre-processor over files passed via
--pre-js and --post-js. It turned out this change caused issue for several
folks who had JS files with lines that start with
#
so can't be run through the pre-processor. If folks want to re-enable this we can looks into ways to make it conditional/optional. - The
{{{ cDefine('name') }}}
helper macro can now be simplified to just{{{ cDefs.name }}}
.
- Fix for using
EM_JS
functions defined in other object files. This was a bug that was introduced whenLLD_REPORT_UNDEFINED
was enabled by default back in 3.1.28. (#18928) - The prefered way to enable pthread is now to just the the standard
-pthread
flag. The-sUSE_PTHREADS
setting still works but is marked as legacy and will generate a warning in-sSTRICT
mode. - When targeting node, and using
-sMODULARIZE
, we no longer internally catch unhandled promise rejections or exit status code. That is to say the,NODEJS_CATCH_REJECTION
andNODEJS_CATCH_EXIT
are no longer compatible with-sMODULARIZE
.
- Initial support for C++20 modules. We have added a very simple test in form
of
other.test_cpp_module
. (#18915) - Removed
sys/sysctl.h
compatibility header. We don't implement the function it defines. (#18863) - Update SDL2_ttf port to 2.20.2 (#18804)
- Update glfw header to 3.3.8 (#18826)
- The
LLD_REPORT_UNDEFINED
setting has been removed. It's now essentially always enabled. (#18342) - Added
-sEXPORT_KEEPALIVE
to export symbols. When usingMINIMAL_RUNTIME
, the option will be disabled by default. This option simply exports the symbols on the module object, i.e.,Module['X'] = X;
- The WasmFS OPFS backend is now faster in browsers that implement
Atomics.waitAsync
. (#18861) - The
emscripten_proxy_async_with_callback
API was replaced with a simpleremscripten_proxy_callback
API that takes a second callback to be called if the worker thread dies before completing the proxied work.
- Added new linker option
-sEXCEPTION_STACK_TRACES
which will display a stack trace when an uncaught exception occurs. This defaults to true whenASSERTIONS
is enabled. This option is mainly for the users who want only exceptions' stack traces without turningASSERTIONS
on. (#18642 and #18535) SUPPORT_LONGJMP
's default value now depends on the exception mode. If Wasm EH (-fwasm-exception
) is used, it defaults towasm
, and if Emscripten EH (-sDISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=0
) is used or no exception support is used, it defaults toemscripten
. Previously it always defaulted toemscripten
, so when a user specified-fwasm-exceptions
, it resulted in Wasm EH + Emscripten SjLj, the combination we do not intend to support for the long term.- Added support for Wasm-based AudioWorklets for realtime audio processing (#16449)
- Synchronous proxying functions in emscripten/proxying.h now return errors instead of hanging forever when the worker thread dies before the proxied work is finished.
- Symbols that were previously exported from native code, but only for internal
reasons, are no longer exported on the
Module
object by default. For example, previously if you were usingModule._malloc
but not explicitly including_malloc
inEXPORTED_FUNCTIONS
, it might have been exported anyway due to internal use ofmalloc
within the JS library code. (#18564) - The
STACK_SIZE
,STACK_ALIGN
,POINTER_SIZE
, andASSERTIONS
JavaScript globals were removed by default. In debug builds a clear error is shown if you try to use these. (#18503) - --pre-js and --post-js files are now fed through the JS preprocessor, just like JS library files and the core runtime JS files. This means they can now contain #if/#else/#endif blocks and {{{ }}} macro blocks. (#18525)
-sEXPORT_ALL
can now be used to export symbols on theModule
object when used with-sMINIMAL_RUNTIME
and-sMODULARIZE
together. (#17911)- The llvm version that emscripten uses was updated to 17.0.0 trunk.
- The default pthread stack size will now be set to match
-sSTACK_SIZE
by default. SetDEFAULT_PTHREAD_STACK_SIZE
explicitly to override this. (#18479) - The
buffer
JavaScript variable was removed. This underlying buffer is still accessible viawasmMemory.buffer
orHEAPXX.buffer
. In debug builds, a clear error is shown if you try to use it. (#18454) - The SDLv1 header directory is no longer added to the include path by default.
This means if you include SDL headers without the explicit version in them
(e.g.
SDL_events.h
) you will now need to add-sUSE_SDL
explicitly at compile time. If you include the SDL headers with the directory name included (e.g.SDL/SDL_events.h
) you will not be affected by this change. (#18443) - Significant improvements were made (in the version of LLVM associated with this emsdk release) to the quality of DWARF debug info when building in optimized mode. See https://reviews.llvm.org/D140373. Using the -O1 flag is recommended if a program is too large or slow to debug with -O0 (although -O0 is still better for debugging when feasible).
- Fixed bug in
PROXY_TO_PTHREAD
whereby certain async operations on the main thread would cause the whole program to exit, even when the proxied main function was still running. (#18372) - Added
Module.pthreadPoolReady
promise for thePTHREAD_POOL_DELAY_LOAD
mode that allows to safely join spawned threads. (#18281) - PThreads can now be safely spawned on-demand in Node.js even without a PThread
pool (
PTHREAD_POOL_SIZE
) or proxying (PROXY_TO_PTHREAD
) options. (#18305)
LLD_REPORT_UNDEFINED
is now enabled by default. This makes undefined symbol errors more precise by including the name of the object that references the undefined symbol. The old behaviour (of allowing all undefined symbols at wasm-ld time and reporting them later when processing JS library files) is still available using-sLLD_REPORT_UNDEFINED=0
. (#16003)- musl libc updated from v1.2.2 to v1.2.3. (#18270)
- The default emscripten config file no longer contains
EMSCRIPTEN_ROOT
. This setting has long been completely ignored by emscripten itself. For applications that wish to know where emscripten is installed looking foremcc
in thePATH
has long been the recommended method (i.e.which emcc
). (#18279) - More accurate synchronisation of
emscripten_get_now
clocks between main thread and pthreads. This also changes the absolute value returned by the function, but it shouldn't affect correct usages as the function has always returned different values on different platforms, and is clearly documented as "only meaningful in comparison to other calls to this function". (#18267) - Emscripten will now search your PATH for binaryen, llvm, and node if the
corresponding config file settings (
BINARYEN_ROOT
,LLVM_ROOT
,NODE_JS
) are not set. Allows emscripten to run with an empty config file given the right tools in the PATH. (#18289)
- Add support for
-sEXPORT_ES6
/*.mjs
on Node.js. (#17915) - Idle workers in a PThread pool no longer prevent Node.js app from exiting. (#18227)
- The default
STACK_SIZE
was reduced from 5MB to 64KB. Projects that use more than 64Kb of stack will now need specify-sSTACK_SIZE
at link time. For example,-sSTACK_SIZE=5MB
can be used to restore the previous behaviour. To aid in debugging, as of #18154, we now also place the stack first in memory in debug builds so that overflows will be immediately detected, and result in runtime errors. This change brings emscripten into line withwasm-ld
and wasi-sdk defaults, and also reduces memory usage by default. In general, WebAssembly stack usage should be lower than on other platforms since a lot of state normally stored on the stack is hidden within the runtime and does not occupy linear memory at all. The default forDEFAULT_PTHREAD_STACK_SIZE
was also reduced from 2MB to 64KB to match. - Improved error messages for writing custom JS libraries. (#18266)
- Inline with the recent changes to llvm and binaryen, emscripten will now, by
default, enable the sign-extension and mutable-globals WebAssembly proposals.
In order to do so the default minimum safari version (
MIN_SAFARI_VERSION
) was updated from 12.0 to 14.1, and support for the old EdgeHTML engine (MIN_EDGE_VERSION
) was removed by default. If you want to continue to support these older engines you can use these settings (-sMIN_SAFARI_VERSION=120000
and/or-sMIN_EDGE_VERSION=44
) to revert to the previous defaults, which will result in the new proposals being disabled. Note that in order to avoid support for the sign-extension emscripten uses a binaryen pass, so targeting older browsers requires the running of wasm-opt and is therefore incompatible withERROR_ON_WASM_CHANGES_AFTER_LINK
(i.e. fast linking). (#17690) - Added
--reproduce
command line flag (or equivalentlyEMCC_REPRODUCE
environment variable). This options specifies the name of a tar file into which emscripten will copy all of the input files along with a response file that will allow the command to be replicated. This can be useful for sharing reproduction cases with others (inspired by the lld option of the same name). (#18160) - In non-optimizing builds emscripten will now place the stack first in memory, before global data. This is to get more accurate stack overflow errors (since overflow will trap rather corrupting global data first). This should not be a user-visible change (unless your program does something very odd such depending on the specific location of stack data in memory). (#18154)
- The
TOTAL_STACK
setting was renamed toSTACK_SIZE
. The old name will continue to work as an alias. (#18128) - Exporting
print
/printErr
via-sEXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS
is deprecated in favor ofout
/err
. The former symbols are supposed to be used with-sINCOMING_MODULE_JS_API
instead. (#17955) - aio.h was removed from the sysroot. Emscripten doesn't support any of the functions in this header.
- Clang's function pointer cast warnings (enabled with
-Wcast-function-type
) are now stricter. This warning is intended to help with CFI errors but also helps wasm builds since wasm traps on such type mismatches in indirect calls. We recommend that users enable it to prevent such errors (which can be hard to debug otherwise). The older (less strict) behavior is also still possible with-Wcast-function-type -Wno-cast-funtion-type-strict
(or-Wno-error=cast-function-type-strict
if you want the warnings to be visible but not errors). See https://reviews.llvm.org/D134831 - libcxx and libcxxabi updated to LLVM 15. (#18113)
- In Wasm exception mode (
-fwasm-exceptions
), whenASSERTIONS
is enabled, uncaught exceptions will display stack traces and what() message. (#17979 and #18003) - It is now possible to specify indirect dependencies on JS library functions
directly in C/C++ source code. For example, in the case of a EM_JS or EM_ASM
JavaScript function that depends on a JS library function. See the
EM_JS_DEPS
macro in theem_macros.h
header. Adding dependencies in this way avoids the need to specify them on the command line with-sDEFAULT_LIBRARY_FUNCS_TO_INCLUDE
. (#17854)
- The
__EMSCRIPTEN_major__/minor__/tiny__
macros are no longer defined on the command line but require<emscripten.h/>
(or just<emscripten/version.h>
to be included. (#17883) - Linking of bitcode files using
emcc -r
+-flto
is no longer supported.emcc -r
will now always use lld to link to an object file. This matches the behavior of upstream llvm where bitcode linking using lld does not exist. The recommend way to combine bitcode input is to use library files (ar
archives). See #13492 for more details.
- compiler-rt updated to LLVM 15. (#17802)
- Using
-Oz
or-Os
will no longer pass-fno-inline-functions
to clang and instead rely on clang's normal inline heuristics for these optimization levels.-fno-inline-functions
can be passed explicitly if needed. - C++17 is now the default version of the C++ standard used by the compiler.
This is due to an upstream change in llvm. Use
-std=c++14
(or technically-std=gnu++14
) to revert to the previous default. - Closure warnings are now controlled via the standard
-Wclosure
warning flags rather than via a specific/customCLOSURE_WARNINGS
setting. The old setting continues to work but will issue a deprecation warning. If you link with-Werror
but you don't want closure warnings to be errors you can add-Wno-error=closure
or-Wno-closure
.
- Update SDL2 port to 2.24.0 (#17748)
- The
LEGACY_RUNTIME
setting is no longer enabled by default. If you use any of these legacy runtime functions (except in library code with explicit dependencies) then you would need to setLEGACY_RUNTIME
on the command line or add the ones you need toDEFAULT_LIBRARY_FUNCS_TO_INCLUDE
:- addFunction
- removeFunction
- allocate
- AsciiToString
- stringToAscii
- UTF16ToString
- stringToUTF16
- lengthBytesUTF16
- UTF32ToString
- stringToUTF32
- lengthBytesUTF32
- allocateUTF8
- allocateUTF8OnStack
- writeStringToMemory
- writeArrayToMemory
- writeAsciiToMemory
- intArrayFromString
- intArrayToString
- warnOnce
- ccall
- cwrap Although this is technically a breaking change for those who use these functions, there are assertion in debug builds that catch such usages and direct towards how to fix the issue.
- The
getTempRet0
/setTempRet0
helper functions are now implemented directly in WebAssembly, rather than supplied by the JS host. This simplifies the wasm/JS interface. These function are no longer exported in all cases. If your code directly calls these functions from JS, you can add them to-sEXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS
. - Several linux-specific headers were removed from the emscripten sysroot. None
of the functionality in these headers was ever supported by emscripten. For
example
sys/soundcard.h
andsys/ptrace.h
. (#17704)
- Old method of metadata extraction via wasm-emscripten-finalize removed in favor of local python code. (#16529)
- The tests/ directory was renamed to just test/ to match other project close emscripten (llvm, wabt, binaryen). This should not effect any users of emscripten, only developers. (#17502)
- The llvm version that emscripten uses was updated to 16.0.0 (#17534)
- worker.js now propagates unhandled promise rejections to the main thread the same way it propagates uncaught exceptions.
- Add support for dynamic linking with Asyncify. (#15893)
- A source map file and DWARF info in the wasm can now be emitted at the same if
the user gives the both options:
-g -gsource-map
. (#17484) - The
align
argument to the makeGetValue/makeSetValue JS library macros was removed (and replaced with an assert) as it had no uses internally and was removed (and replaced with an assert) as it had now uses internally and was untested. - Removed unused
calledMain
global variable from the JS runtime. Folks who want to know when main is done can useModule[postRun]
.
- Warnings generated by the JS compiler (compiler.js) are now propagated back
to the emcc compiler driver which means that
-Werror
builds will now fail in the presence of JS compiler warnings. As usual-Wno-js-compiler
and-Wno-error=js-compiler)
can be used to control these warnings. (#17365) - When JS library functions are included as part of
EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS
it is no longer necessary to also add them toDEFAULT_LIBRARY_FUNCS_TO_INCLUDE
. This change allows us to transition runtime functions to JS library functions without the need to folks to addDEFAULT_LIBRARY_FUNCS_TO_INCLUDE
. (#17369) - The following function, which were previously part of the default runtime, are
now JS library functions:
- addFunction
- removeFunction
- allocate
- AsciiToString
- stringToAscii
- UTF16ToString
- stringToUTF16
- lengthBytesUTF16
- UTF32ToString
- stringToUTF32
- lengthBytesUTF32
- allocateUTF8
- allocateUTF8OnStack
- writeStringToMemory
- writeArrayToMemory
- writeAsciiToMemory
- intArrayFromString
- intArrayToString
- warnOnce
- ccall
- cwrap
However, they all still available by default due to a new setting called
LEGACY_RUNTIME
which is enabled by default. WhenLEGACY_RUNTIME
is disabled (which it may be in the future) these symbols would only be included if there were explicitly exported viaEXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS
or added toDEFAULT_LIBRARY_FUNCS_TO_INCLUDE
.LEGACY_RUNTIME
is disabled by default inSTRICT
mode so this change only effects users ofSTRICT
mode. (#17370, #17403)
- The
run
runtime function is no longer exported by default. It can be added toEXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS
if needed. - The getWasmTableEntry/setWasmTableEntry library function are no longer
included by default. Add them to
DEFAULT_LIBRARY_FUNCS_TO_INCLUDE
orEXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS
if you want to use them outside of JS library code. - The type of
time_t
was restored 64-bit after being converted to 32-bit in 3.1.11. (#17401)
- The JS library helper function
hasExportedFunction
has been replaced withhasExportedSymbol
, which takes an unmangled (no leading underscore) symbol name. - Post-link metadata extraction switched from wasm-emscripten-finalize
(binaryen) to python code within emscripten. This change should have no
semantic effect, but can temporarily be reverted by setting
EMCC_READ_METADATA=binaryen
in the environment. (#17337) - Added a shim for
BigInt64Array
so-sWASM_BIGINT
can be used in Safari v14. (#17103)
- emcc now accepts
-print-file-name
and reports the correct library paths in-print-search-dirs
. tools/file_packager
no longer generates (or requires) any "pre-js" code when running in--embed-file
mode. Instead the embedded files are loaded at static constructor time.- Emscripten now knows what minimum browser versions the
WASM_BIGINT
feature requires and will automatically set the defaults accordingly. (#17163) - Embind now supports binding to functions specified as
noexcept
. (#17140) - Weak undefined symbols fixed in dynamic linking. (#17164)
- Internally, the name of
main
function now gets mangled (by clang) in the same way as with other wasm targets. This means that within the wasm module the name of the main function can now be__main_argc_argv
, but, since we still export this to JS as_main
, this should not be a user-visible change. - Use of pkg-config from cmake not longer causes the C++ include path to be broken. (#17137)
emscripten_runtime_keeplive_push()
andemscripten_runtime_keeplive_push()
are now exposed to native code and can be used to keep the runtime alive without immediately unwinding the event loop (asemscripten_exit_with_live_runtime()
does). (#17160)- The file packager option
--use-preload-cache
now only invalidates the cache if the data contents has changed. (#16807)
- xlocale.h compatibility header was restored after being removed in 3.1.12.
- Fix crash, introduced in 3.1.11, which occurred when using pointer types
(types ending in
*
) with getValue/setValue library functions. (#17028) - Fix possible deadlock in multi-threaded builds that use EXIT_RUNTIME=0 with ASSERTIONS enabled. This was introduced in 3.1.3 as part of #16130. (#17044)
- The return value of
emscripten_get_compiler_setting
was changed fromint
tolong
so that it is compatible withMEMORY64
. The return value of this function sometimes contains a pointer value soint
is not sufficiently wide underwasm64
. (#16938) - The
EM_BUILD_VERBOSE
environment variable only effects test code these days and therefore was renamed toEMTEST_BUILD_VERBOSE
. (#16904) - compiler-rt updated to LLVM 14. (#16991)
- libc++ updated to LLVM 14. (#17000)
- libc++abi updated to LLVM 14. (#16993)
- Bug fixes
- The
-sSHELL_FILE
setting, which (unlike the --shell-file command line options) we believe was never tested or externally used, has been removed. (#16589) - A warning is now issued when passing C++-only settings such
-sEXCEPTION_CATCHING_ALLOWED
when not linking as C++. (#16609) - Introduce a new proxying API for proxying work between threads.
- Command line settings (
-s
) are now type checked. For example, passing a string to a boolean setting will now generate an error (e.g.-sEXIT_RUNTIME=foo
). Previously, the value offoo
would have have been interpreted as non-zero and accepted as valid. (#16539) - A warning (limited-postlink-optimizations) was added that gets shown when binaryen optimizations are limited due to DWARF information being requested. Several binaryen passed are not compatible with the preservation of DWARF information. (#16428)
- Use normalized mouse wheel delta for GLFW 3 in
library_glfw.js
. This changes the vertical scroll amount for GLFW 3. (#16480) - The emsdk binaries for macOS now require macOS 10.14 Mojave (or above). Prior versions of emsdk could run on 10.11 (or above), but supporting those older versions recently became harder.
- The SDL_mixer library can be configured to support MIDIs by passing "mid" to the SDL2_MIXER_FORMATS setting. It uses Timidity, and you must provide your own instrument sound files and mount them at "/etc/timidity". (#16556)
- Remove unmaintained ASMFS filesystem backend and associated
-sASMFS
settings. The new wasmfs filesystem is far enough along that it seems clear that ASMFS will not need to be revived. - Fix deadlock in
munmap
that was introduced in 3.1.5. The deadlock would occur in multi-threaded programs when a partial unmap was requested (which emscripten does not support). (#16413) - Added new compiler+linker option -sSHARED_MEMORY=1, which enables targeting a shared WebAssembly.Memory. (#16419)
- Added new API "Wasm Workers", which is an alternative to pthreads for building multithreaded applications, enabled via -sWASM_WORKERS=1 (#12833)
- Remove support for deprecated
EMMAKEN_COMPILER
,EMMAKEN_CFLAGS
, andEMMAKEN_NO_SDK
environment variables. These are all legacy and redundant in the face of other settings/flags:EMMAKEN_COMPILER
->LLVM_ROOT
in the config settingsEMMAKEN_CFLAGS
->EMCC_CFLAGS
EMMAKEN_NO_SDK
-> standard-nostdlib
and-nostdinc
flags
- emscripten will no longer automatically create a config file if it can't
find one in the configured location. Instead, it will error out and point the
user to the
--generate-config
option, in case that is what they want. (#13962)
- Emscripten no longer uses the
allocate()
runtime function. For backwards compatibility with external JS code we still include this function by default but it will no longer be included in-sSTRICT
mode. Usages of this function are generally best replaced with_malloc
,stackAlloc
orallocateUTF8
.
- Due to an llvm change (https://reviews.llvm.org/D118573) some clang flags
that did not previously have any effect are now honored (e.g.
-fnew-alignment
and-fshort-wchar
). - llvm dependency updated to 15.0.0 to match upstream. (#16178)
- The
__EMSCRIPTEN_major__
,__EMSCRIPTEN_minor__
and__EMSCRIPTEN_tiny__
macros are now available via theemscripten/version.h
header file. For the time being, unless you enable-sSTRICT
, these are still also defined directly on the command line. If you use these macros please make sure you includeemscripten/version.h
(oremscripten.h
which indirectly includes it). (#16147)
- The file packager now supports embedding files directly into wasm memory and
emcc
now uses this mode when the--embed-file
option is used. If you usefile_packager
directly it is recommended that you switch to the new mode by adding--obj-output
to the command line. (#16050) - The
--bind
flag used to enable embind has been deprecated in favor of-lembind
. The semantics have not changed and the old flag continues to work. (#16087) - New setjmp/longjmp support using Wasm EH instructions is added, which is
faster and reduces code size. You need a browser that supports Wasm EH spec to
use it. The new SjLj support is enabled by
-sSUPPORT_LONGJMP=wasm
. This can be used with Wasm exception support (-fwasm-exceptions
), but not with Emscripten exception support (-fexceptions
or-sDISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=0
). When using Wasm EH with Wasm SjLj, there is one restriction that you cannot directly callsetjmp
within acatch
clause. (Calling another function that callssetjmp
is fine.) (#14976 and #16072)
- A new setting,
POLYFILL
, was added which is on by default but can be disabled (via-sNO_POLYFILL
) to prevent emscripten from outputing needed polyfills. For default browser targets, no polyfills are needed so this option only has meaning when targeting older browsers. EVAL_CTORS
has been rewritten and improved. The main differences from before are that it is much more capable (it can now eval parts of functions and not just all or nothing, and it can eval more wasm constructs like globals). It is no longer run by default, so to use it you should build with-s EVAL_CTORS
. Seesettings.js
for more details. (#16011)wasmX
test suites that are defined intest_core.py
have been renamed tocoreX
to better reflect where they are defined. The old suite names such aswasm2
will continue to work for now as aliases.
- Happy new year!
- Updated SDL 2 port to upstream version 2.0.18 (from a patched 2.0.10). This includes all downstream patches and many upstream changes.
- libc++ library updated to llvm-13. (#15901)
- libc++-abi library updated to llvm-13. (#15904)
- compiler-rt library updated to llvm-13. (#15906)
- Added new internal/debugging related environment variable EM_FORCE_RESPONSE_FILES that can be set to 0 to force disable the use of response files, and to 1 to force enable response files. If not set, response files will be used if command lines are long (> 8192 chars). (#15973)
- Emscripten in starting to use ES6 features in its core libraries (at last!).
For most users targeting the default set of browsers this is a code size win.
For projects targeting older browsers (e.g.
-sMIN_CHROME_VERSION=10
), emscripten will now run closure compiler inWHITESPACE_ONLY
mode in order to transpile any ES6 down to ES5. When this automatic transpilation is performed we generate a warning which can be disabled (using-Wno-transpile
) or by explicitly opting in-to or out-of closure using--closure=1
or--closure=0
. (#15763).
- Deprecate
EMMAKEN_CFLAGS
is favor ofEMCC_CFLAGS
. - Fixed an issue where user provided --js-library directives would not be processed as the last item after all system provided JS libraries have been added to the build. This fix enables overriding WebGL 2 symbols from user JS libraries.
- A set of internally-unused functions were removed from
parseTools.js
. While emscripten no longer needs any of these functions, there is slim chance that some external JS library is depending on them. Please file issues if any such library code is found. The removed/unused functions are:removePointing
,pointingLevels
,removeAllPointing
,isVoidType
,isStructPointerType
,isArrayType
,isStructType
,isVectorType
,isStructuralType
getStructuralTypeParts
,getStructuralTypePartBits
,isFunctionDef
,isPossiblyFunctionType
,isFunctionType
,getReturnType
,splitTokenList
,_IntToHex
,IEEEUnHex
,Compiletime.isPointerType
,Compiletime.isStructType
,Compiletime.INT_TYPES
,isType
. - The example
shell.html
andshell_minimal.html
templates no longer overrideprintErr
on the module object. This means error message from emscripten and stderr from the application will go to the default location ofconsole.warn
rather thanconsole.error
. This only effects application that use the example shell html files. - The version of musl libc used by emscripten was upgraded from v1.1.15 to v1.2.2. There could be some minor size regressions (or gains) due to changes in upstream musl code but we don't expect anything major. Since this is a fairly substantial change (at least internally) we are bumping the major version of Emscripten to 3. (#13006)
- Added support for specifying the text encoding to be used in response filenames by passing the encoding as a file suffix (e.g. "a.rsp.utf-8" or "a.rsp.cp1252"). If not specified, the encoding is autodetected as either UTF-8 or Python default "locale.getpreferredencoding()". (#15406, #15292, #15426)
- Symbols marked as visibility hidden are no longer exported from C/C++
code when building with
SIDE_MODULE
,MAIN_MODULE
orLINKABLE
. If you need to export a hidden symbol you can still do so by adding it to EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS.
- Bug fixes
- Internal-only library functions can now be marked as
__internal: true
in JS system libraries. Such symbols should not be used by external libraries and are subject to change. As of now we generate warning when external libraries depend on the these symbols. - Stub functions from
library_syscall.js
andlibrary.js
were replaced with native code stubs (Seesystem/lib/libc/emscripten_syscall_stubs.c
). This should be better for wasm module portability as well as code size. As part of this change the return value ofpopen
was fixed to return NULL rather than -1 and thegetpwnam
family of functions were changed to return an error rather than throw a JavaScript exception (this behaviour matches what the other stub functions do). As before, theALLOW_UNIMPLEMENTED_SYSCALLS
setting controls whether of not these stubs get included at link time, andSTRICT
disables this setting. - Emscripten will now warn when linker-only flags are specified in
compile-only (
-c
) mode. Just like with clang itself, this warning can be disabled using the flag:-Wno-unused-command-line-argument
. - Internal symbol names for musl syscalls changed from number-based (e.g.
__syscall22
) to name-based (e.g.__syscall_open
). This should not be a visible change except for folks trying to intercept/implement syscalls in native code (#15202). - Fixed launcher batch script issues on Windows, and added two env. vars EM_WORKAROUND_PYTHON_BUG_34780 and EM_WORKAROUND_WIN7_BAD_ERRORLEVEL_BUG that can be enabled to work around a Windows Python issue https://bugs.python.org/issue34780 , and a Windows 7 exit code issue (#15146)
- Support a new CMake property
EMSCRIPTEN_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR
which can be used to override the default value ofCMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR
set by the toolchain file. - Remove support for the
EMIT_EMSCRIPTEN_METADATA
setting. This setting has been deprecated for some time now and we don't know of any remaining reasons to keep it around. - Add JavaScript API
Emval.{toHandle, toValue}
as well as a C++ methodval::as_handle()
to allow passing values between theval
class andEM_JS
/EM_ASM
JavaScript snippets. (#15279) - Added SAFE_HEAP=2 option which tests safe heap behavior for wasm-only builds (allowing unaligned memory accesses, which would not work in Wasm2JS but in wasm would be correct but potentially slow).
- Bug fixes
- Bug fixes
- Bug fixes
- Added some support for signal handling libc functions (raise, kill, sigaction, sigpending, etc). We still don't have a way to deliver signals from the outside but these at least now work for sending signals to the current thread (JS context) (#14883).
- Remove the workaround used in emcmake and emmake that removed directories with sh.exe from PATH on Windows when MinGW Makefiles generator was used. This was needed with CMake versions older than 3.17.0. If you get an error "sh.exe was found in your PATH" on Windows, you can either update to CMake 3.17.0 or newer, or remove the offending directory from your PATH. See https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/commit/82ddcf0db1d220564145122c3cce25d25ee0e254 for more information. (#14930)
- Added
EM_ASYNC_JS
macro - similar toEM_JS
, but allows usingawait
inside the JS block and automatically integrates with Asyncify without the need for listing the declared function inASYNCIFY_IMPORTS
(#9709). - Errors that occur on pthreads (e.g. uncaught exception) will now get re-thrown on the main thread rather than simply being logged (#13666).
- When building ports with the
embuilder
tool some of the names of the libraries have changed (they now match the filenames in thetools/ports/
directory). For examplesdl-image
is nowsdl_image
(#14737). - Undefined data symbols (in static executables) are no longer silently ignored
at link time. The previous behaviour (which was to silently give all
undefined data symbols address zero, which could lead to bugs)
can be enabled by passing either
-Wl,--allow-undefined
or-Wl,--unresolved-symbols=ignore-all
. - The alignment of
long double
, which is a 128-bit floating-point value implemented in software, is reduced from 16 to 8. The lower alignment allowsmax_align_t
to properly match the alignment we use for malloc, which is 8 (raising malloc's alignment to achieve correctness the other way would come with a performance regression). (#10072) - The
alignMemory
function is now a library function and therefore not included by default. Debug builds will automatically abort if you try to use this function without including it. The normal library__deps
mechanism can be used to include it, or can be added toDEFAULT_LIBRARY_FUNCS_TO_INCLUDE
. - dlopen can now load libraries at runtime from the web without preloading
or embedding. This features relies on
ASYNCIFY
to suspend execution until the library is loaded and then continue on as if dlopen was blocking. For users who don't want to useASYNCIFY
(which has a size and runtime cost) there is a async (callback-based) version of the dlopen API available asemscripten_dlopen()
declared inemscropten/emscripten.h
. Seedocs/api_reference/emscripten.h.rst
(or the online version) for more details. - Constructors, functions and methods bound with Embind can now be
await
ed. When Asyncify is used somewhere in the callstack, previously Embind would return0
/null
/false
/ instance with a NULL pointer, making it impossible to wait for the function to actually finish and retrieve its result. Now in those cases it will return aPromise
instead that will resolve with the function's return value upon completion. (#11890)
- Support for the 'shell' environment is now disabled by default. Running under
d8
,js
, orjsc
is not something that most emscripten users ever want to do, so including the support code is, more often than not, unnecessary. Users who want shell support can enable it by including 'shell' in-s ENVIRONMENT
(#14535). - A new setting called
ALLOW_UNIMPLEMENTED_SYSCALLS
was added. This setting is enabled by default but, if disabled, will generate link-time errors if a program references an unimplemented syscall. This setting is disabled by default inSTRICT
mode. - By default (unless
EXIT_RUNTIME=1
is specified) emscripten programs running under node will no longer callprocess.exit()
onexit()
. Instead they will simply unwind the stack and return to the event loop, much like they do on the web. In many cases the node process will then exit naturally if there is nothing keeping the event loop going. Note for users of node + pthreads: Because of the way that threads are implemented under node multi-threaded programs now requireEXIT_RUNTIME=1
(or callemscripten_force_exit
) in order to actually bring down the process. - Drop support for node versions older than v5.10.0. We now assume the
existence of
Buffer.from
which was added in v5.10.0. If it turns out there is still a need to support these older node versions we can add a polyfil under LEGACY_VM_SUPPORT (#14447).
- Support
--preload-file
in Node.js. (#11785) - System libraries are now passed to the linker internally via
-lfoo
rather than using their full path. This is in line with how gcc and clang pass system libraries to the linker. This should not effect any builds unless a project a happens to have, for example, a file calledlibc.a
in one of its library paths. This would have the effect of overriding the system library (as it would with gcc or clang) (#14342). - CMake projects (those that either use emcmake or use Emscripten.cmake
directly) are new configured to install (by default) directly into the
emscripten sysroot. This means that running
cmake --install
(or running the install target, viamake install
for example) will install resources into the sysroot such that they can later be found and used byfind_path
,find_file
,find_package
, etc. Previously the default was to attempt to install into the host system (e.g/usr/local
) which is almost always not desirable. Folks that were previously usingCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
to build their own secondary sysroot may be able to simplify their build system by removing this completely and relying on the new default. - Reinstated the warning on linker-only
-s
settings passed when not linking (i.e. when compiling with-c
). As before this can disabled with-Wno-unused-command-line-argument
(#14182). - Standalone wasm mode no longer does extra binaryen work during link. It used to remove unneeded imports, in hopes of avoiding nonstandard imports that could prevent running in WASI VMs, but that has not been needed any more. A minor side effect you might see from this is a larger wasm size in standalone mode when not optimizing (but optimized builds are unaffected). (#14338)
- You can now explicitly request that an environment variable remain unset by
setting its value in
ENV
toundefined
. This is useful for variables, such asLANG
, for which Emscripten normally provides a default value.
- libcxxabi updated to llvm-12. (#14288)
- libcxx updated to llvm-12. (#14249)
- compiler-rt updated to llvm-12. (#14280)
- Fix a crash bug that was present in 2.0.21 with the use of
-g
. See https://reviews.llvm.org/D102999. - wasm-ld will now perform string tail merging in debug string sections as well
as regular data sections. This behaviour can be be disabled with
-Wl,-O0
. This should significantly reduce the size of dwarf debug information in the wasm binary. - The experimental SPLIT_MODULE setting now expects the secondary module to be
named
<module>.deferred.wasm
instead of<module>.wasm.deferred
. - sendfile.h header removed from musl. (#14248)
- Options such as EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS that can take a response file containing list of symbols can now use a simple one-symbol-per-line format. This new format is much simpler and doesn't require commas between symbols, opening or closing braces, or any kind of escaping for special characters.
- The WebAssembly linker (
wasm-ld
) now performs string tail merging on any static string data in your program. This has long been part of the native ELF linker and should not be observable in well-behaved programs. This behavior can be disabled by passing-Wl,-O0
. - The functions
fork
,vfork
,posix_spawn
andsystem
now fail with the errno valueENOSYS
(52) rather thanEAGAIN
(6). This is more correct, since they will never work and attempting to retry won't help. EXPORT_ES6
will now emit static URLs for main WebAssembly file as well as for helper Worker used by-pthread
that can be statically detected by modern bundlers at build time. In particular, you no longer have to setModule.locateFile
hook andModule.mainScriptUrlOrBlob
settings - both bundlers and browsers should pick up the required files automatically. Note: this doesn't yet cover other use-cases that emit external files, such as dynamic linking,--proxy-to-worker
, external memory etc. (#14135)EXPORT_ES6
can now be used in combination with-o [filename].html
. (#14165)EXPORT_ES6
no longer requires setting customEXPORT_NAME
too. (#14139)- New diagnostics allow Emscripten to issue warnings when using Intel SIMD intrinsics (from xmmintrin.h) which have slow emulations rather than fast WebAssembly equivalents. To enable them, define WASM_SIMD_COMPAT_SLOW in the preprocessor (#14152)
- This ChangeLog and the
emscripten-version.txt
file that is checked into the repository now reflect the next, upcoming, release once a release is made. Previously they would continue to reflect the old release until after we decide to cut the release. Switching to this method allow for a slightly simpler release process that also allows us to tag a version that contains the correct version information. - The version string reported by
-v
/--version
now includes a-git
suffix (e.g.2.0.19-git
) when running from git checkout (to help distinguish unreleased git versions from official releases) (#14092). - Temporarily back out new
-Wunused-command-line-argument
warnings introduced in 2.0.19.
- Emscripten will now warn when linker-only
-s
settings are specified in compile-only (-c
) mode. Just like with clang itself, this warning can be disabled using the flag:-Wno-unused-command-line-argument
. - When building with
-s MAIN_MODULE
emscripten will now error on undefined symbol by default. This matches the behvious of clang/gcc/msvc. This requires that your side modules be present on the command line. If you do not specify your side modules on the command line (either direcly or viaRUNTIME_LINKED_LIBS
) you may need to add-s WARN_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS=0
to avoid errors about symbol that are missing at link time (but present in your side modules provided at runtime). We hope that this case is not common and most users are building with side modules listed on the command line (#14060). - The
RUNTIME_LINKED_LIBS
setting is now deprecated. It's better to simply list dynamic library dependencies directly on the command line.
- The
makeBigInt
function was removed from the emscripten runtime since it had no internal users. - Restored support for --cache command line flag to configure location of the Emscripten cache root directory.
EXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS
is deprecated in favor of just usingEXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS
.- When building with
MAIN_MODULE=2
the linker will now automatically include any symbols required by side modules found on the command line. This means that for many users ofMAIN_MODULE=2
it should no longer be necessary to list explicitEXPORTED_FUNCTIONS
. Also, users ofMAIN_MODULE=1
with dynamic linking (not dlopen) who list all side modules on the command line, should be able to switch toMAIN_MODULE=2
and get a reduction in code size. - When building with
MAIN_MODULE
it is now possible to warn or error on undefined symbols assuming all the side modules are passed at link time. This means that for many projects it should now be possible to enableERROR_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS
along withMAIN_MODULE
.
- Use of closure compiler (
--closure
) is now supported when using dynamic linking (building with-s MAIN_MODULE
) (#13880) - Specifying
EM_CONFIG
inline (python code in the environment variable itself) is no longer supported (#13855). This has been long deprecated but finally completely removed. - Deprecate
-g4
, which is a little confusing as it does not do more than-g3
but instead emits source maps instead of DWARF.-g4
will now warn. A new flag-gsource-map
enables source maps without warning. - In order to behave more like clang and gcc, emscripten no longer
supports some nonstandard methods of library lookup (that worked
unintentionally and were untested and not documented):
- Linking with
-llibc
rather than-lc
will no longer work. - Linking a library called
foo.a
via-lfoo
will no longer work. (libraries found via-l
have to start withlib
)
- Linking with
- Use LLVM's new pass manager by default, as LLVM does. This changes a bunch of
things about how LLVM optimizes and inlines, so it may cause noticeable
changes in compile times, code size, and speed, either for better or for
worse. You can use the old pass manager (until LLVM removes it) by passing
-flegacy-pass-manager
(and-Wl,--lto-legacy-pass-manager
when doing LTO) (note however that neither workaround affects the building of system libraries, unless you modify emscripten or build them manually). (#13427) - Removed use of Python multiprocessing library because of stability issues.
Added a new environment variable
EM_PYTHON_MULTIPROCESSING=1
that can be set to revert back to using Python multiprocessing, in case there are reports of regressions (that variable is intended to be temporary). (#13493) - Binaryen now always inlines single-use functions. This should reduce code size
and improve performance. If you prefer the old default, you can get that with
-sBINARYEN_EXTRA_PASSES=--one-caller-inline-max-function-size=1
(#13744). - Fix generating of symbol files with
--emit-symbol-map
for JS targets. When-s WASM=2
is used. Two symbols are generated:[name].js.symbols
- storing Wasm mapping[name].wasm.js.symbols
- storing JS mapping In other cases a single[name].js.symbols
file is created.
- Lists that are passed on the command line can now skip the opening an closing
braces, allowing for simpler, more readable settings. e.g.
-s EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS=foo,bar
- Remove/deprecate no longer used
--llvm-opts
command line option. Any arguments not processed by emcc will be passed through to clang directly these days. - Values returned from
sysconf
now more closely match the definitions found in header files and in upstream musl (#13713). DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=2
is now deprecated since it can be inferred from the presence of theEXCEPTION_CATCHING_ALLOWED
list. This makesDISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING
a simple binary option (0 or 1) which defaults to 0 which will be set to 1 internally ifEXCEPTION_CATCHING_ALLOWED
list is specified.- Values returned from
pathconf
now match the definitions found in header files and/or upstream musl: _PC_LINK_MAX 3200 -> 8 _PC_SYNC_IO -1 -> 1 _PC_REC_INCR_XFER_SIZE -1 -> 4096 _PC_REC_MAX_XFER_SIZE -1 -> 4096 _PC_SYMLINK_MAX -1 -> 255 - Added support for wrapping emcc and em++ via ccache: install Emscripten port of ccache via emsdk, or from https://github.com/juj/ccache/tree/emscripten, and run explicitly with "ccache emcc ..." after installing, or automatically just with "emcc ..." after activating ccache via emsdk (#13498).
- Added support to use a custom set of substitution characters . # and ? to ease passing arrays of C symbols on the command line to ASYNCIFY_* settings. (#13477)
- In MINIMAL_RUNTIME build mode, errno support will now be disabled by default due to the code size that it adds. (MINIMAL_RUNTIME=1 implies SUPPORT_ERRNO=0 by default) Pass -s SUPPORT_ERRNO=1 to enable errno support if necessary.
- Using EM_ASM and EM_JS in a side module will now result in an error (since this is not implemented yet). This could effect users were previously inadvertently including (but not actually using) EM_ASM or EM_JS functions in side modules (#13649).
- Remove dependency on Uglify by finishing the rewrite of passes to acorn (#13636, #13621).
- Primary development branch switched from
master
tomain
.
- Calls to
newlocale
(andnew std::locale
in C++) with arbirary names will now succeed. This is the behaviour of musl libc which emscripten had previously inadvertently disabled. - System libraries are now compiled with debug info (
-g
). This doesn't affect release builds (builds without-g
) but allows DWARF debugging of types defined in system libraries such as C++ STL types (#13078). - uname machine field is now either wasm32 or wasm64 instead of x86-JS (#13440)
- Several pthreads exit-related fixes (#12985) (#10524).
- Fix IDBFS syncing with existing directories (#13574).
- Add libmodplug port and allow mod files to be played in SDL2 (#13478).
emscripten_GetProcAddress
is now part oflibGL
. Normally the change is not noticeable, unless you build inSTRICT
mode and do not already have-lGL
to link in that library. If not, add-lGL
. (#13524)
- Add new setting:
REVERSE_DEPS
. This can be used to control how emscripten decides which reverse dependecies to include. Seesettings.js
for more information. The default setting ('auto') is the traditional way emscripten has worked in the past so there should be no change unless this options is actually used. This option partially replaces theEMCC_ONLY_FORCED_STDLIBS
environment variable which (among other things) essentially had the effect of settingREVERSE_DEPS
to be 'all'. - Clang now performs loop unrolling when targeting WebAssembly at -O2 and
higher. It can be disabled using
-fno-unroll-loops
.
- Remove unused
Browser.safeSetInterval
andBrowser.safeCallback
. These had no callers in emscripten itself or any testing. If there are users of these functions we could re-enable them with some testing. - Fix race condition when running many emcc processes after clearing the cache. The processes would race to run the sanity checks and could interfere with each other (#13299).
- Emscripten now builds a complete sysroot inside the EM_CACHE directory. This includes the system headers which get copied into place there rather than adding a sequence of extra include directories.
- Added support for -s MALLOC=emmalloc when -s MAXIMUM_MEMORY is more than 2GB. (#13258)
- Add back support for calling the legacy dynCall_sig() API to invoke function pointers to wasm functions from JavaScript. Pass -s DYNCALLS=1 to include that functionality in the build. This fixes a regression that started in Aug 31st 2020 (Emscripten 2.0.2) in #12059. Also implement support for dynCall() in MINIMAL_RUNTIME builds. (#13296)
SDL2_ttf
now uses upstream compiled withTTF_USE_HARFBUZ
flag.- The system for linking native libraries on demand (based on the symbols
present in input object files) has been removed. Libraries such as libgl,
libal, and libhtml5 are now included on the link line by default unless
-s AUTO_NATIVE_LIBRARIES=0
is used. This should not effect most builds in any way since wasm-ld ignores unreferenced library files. Only users of the--whole-archive
linker flag (which is used whenMAIN_MODULE=1
is set) should be effected.
emscripten/vr.h
and other remnants of WebVR support removed. (#13210, which is a followup to #10460)- Stop overriding CMake default flags based on build type. This will
result in builds that are more like CMake does on other platforms. You
may notice that
RelWithDebInfo
will now include debug info (it did not before, which appears to have been an error), and thatRelease
will use-O3
instead of-O2
(which is a better choice anyhow). (#13083)
emcc -v
no longer forces the running the sanity checks. Sanity checks are always run on first use or can be forced with--check
or by settingEMCC_DEBUG
is set in the environment.- An upstream LLVM regression with global initializer linking has been fixed (#13038).
- Remove a racy unneeded assertion about async dynamic linking (#13060).
- Fix handling of exit() in pthreads. (#12933)
- Added support for C11 thread API. (#9243)
- The WebAssembly memory used by emscripten programs is now, by default, created
in the wasm file and exported to JavaScript. Previously we could create the
memory in JavaScript and import it into the wasm file. The new
IMPORTED_MEMORY
setting can be used to revert to the old behaviour. Breaking change: This new setting is required if you provide a runtime value forwasmMemory
orINITIAL_MEMORY
on the Module object. - Internally, emscripten now uses the
--sysroot
argument to point clang at it headers. This should not effect most projects but has a minor effect the order of the system include paths: The root include path (<emscritpen_root>/system/include
) is now always last in the include path. - Fix JS pthreads proxying + WASM_BIGINT (#12935)
- Optimize makeDynCall to use dynCall_xx function directly where needed (#12741)
- dlopen, in conformace with the spec, now checks that one of either RTDL_LAZY or RTDL_NOW flags ar set. Previously, it was possible set nether of these without generating an error.
- Allow
-lSDL2_mixer
to just work. (Others like-lSDL2
always worked, but forSDL2_mixer
things were broken because we build multiple variations of that library.) That link flag is now the same as-s USE_SDL2_MIXER=2
. - Stack state is no longer stored in JavaScript. The following variables have
been replaced with native functions in
<emscripten/stack.h>
:- STACK_BASE
- STACK_MAX
- STACKTOP
- TOTAL_STACK
- The ABI used for importing symbol by address in dynamic linking (MAIN_MODULE +
SIDE_MODULE) is now the same as the ABI used by llvm and wasm-ld. That is,
symbol addresses are imported from the 'GOT.mem' and 'GOT.func' pseudo
modules. As one side effect of this change it is now required that JavaScript
functions that are imported by address are now required to have a
__sig
specified in the library JavaScript file. MODULARIZE
+WASM_ASYNC_COMPILATION=0
, that is, modularize mode but with async compilation turned off, so that startup is synchronous, now returns the Module object from the factory function (as it would not make sense to return a Promise without async startup). See #12647- Added experimental support for using emscripten as a post link tool. In this
case the input to emscripten is a single wasm file (for example the output of
wasm-ld
). When emcc is run with--post-link
it will take a wasm file as input that perform all the normal post link steps such as finalizing and optimizing the wasm file and generating the JavaScript and/or html that will run it. - Added emulation support and a build time warning for calling Wasm function pointers from JS library files via the old syntax {{{ makeDynCall('sig') }}} (ptr, arg1, arg2); that was broken on Aug 31st 2020 (Emscripten 2.0.2). A build warning will now be emitted if the old signature is used. Convert to using the new signature {{{ makeDynCall('sig', 'ptr') }}} (arg1, arg2); instead.
-s ASSERTIONS=2
now implies-s STACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK=2
. Previously only-s ASSERTIONS=1
implied-s STACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK=1
.- Dynamic linking (MAIN_MODULE + SIDE_MODULE) now produces wasm binaries that depend on mutable globals. Specifically the stack pointer global is mutable and shared between the modules. This is an ABI change for dynamic linking. (#12536)
- emcc now accepts
--arg=foo
as well as--arg foo
. For example--js-library=file.js
. - Reject promises returned from the factory function created by using the MODULARIZE build option if initialization of the module instance fails (#12396).
- emrun: Passing command line flags (arguments that start with
-
) to the program bring run now requires a--
on the command line to signal the end ofemrun
arguments. e.g:emrun filename.html -- --arg-for-page
This is standard behaviour for command line parsing and simplifies the emrun logic.
- Don't run Binaryen postprocessing for Emscripten EH/SjLj. This lets us avoid
running
wasm-emscripten-finalize
just for C++ exceptions or longjmp. This is an ABI change. (#12399) - Run
SAFE_HEAP
on user JS code using a new Acorn pass, increasing the coverage of those tests to all JS in the output (#12450). EM_LOG_DEMANGLE
is now deprecated. Function names shown in wasm backtraces are never mangled (they are either missing or demangled already) so demangled is not possible anymore.- In STRICT mode we no longer link in C++ mode by default. This means if you
are building a C++ program in STRICT mode you need to link via
em++
rather thanemcc
. This matches the behaviour of gcc and clang. - IDBFS now persists files whenever their timestamp changes; previously it acted on sync only if the timestamp increased and ignored the file changes otherwise.
- When
-s SUPPORT_LONGJMP=0
is passed to disable longjmp, do not run the LLVM wasm backend path that handles longjmp. Before this only affected linking, and now the flag gives you the ability to affect codegen at compile time too. This is necessary if one does not want any invokes generated for longjmp at all. (#12394)
- Add new
COMPILER_WRAPPER
settings (with correspondingEM_COMPILER_WRAPPER
environment variable. This replaces the existingEMMAKEN_COMPILER
environment variable which is deprecated, but still works for the time being. The main differences is thatEM_COMPILER_WRAPPER
only wrapps the configured version of clang rather than replacing it. - ASAN_SHADOW_SIZE is deprecated. When using AddressSanitizer, the correct amount of shadow memory will now be calculated automatically.
- Fix a rare pthreads + exceptions/longjmp race condition (#12056).
- Add
WEBGL_multi_draw_instanced_base_vertex_base_instance
bindings (#12282). - Fix a rare pthreads main thread deadlock (that worsened in 2.0.2, but existed before). (#12318)
- The WebAssembly table is now created and exported by the generated wasm module rather then constructed by the JS glue code. This is an implemention detail that should not affect most users, but reduces code size. (#12296)
- Add
getentropy
insys/random.h
, and use that from libc++'srandom_device
. This is more efficient, see #12240. - Fixed
ABORT_ON_WASM_EXCEPTIONS
to work with the recent dynCall changes where functions can be called via the WASM table directly, bypassing WASM exports (#12269). - Add
ASYNCIFY_ADVISE
to output which functions have been instrumented for Asyncify mode, and why they need to be handled. (#12146)
- First release with Bazel support.
- Stop including
malloc
andfree
by default. If you need access to them from JS, you must export them manually using-s EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS=['_malloc', ..]
. - Stop running Binaryen optimizations in
-O1
. This makes-O1
builds a little larger but they compile a lot faster, which makes more sense in a "compromise" build (in between-O0
and higher optimization levels suitable for release builds). (#12178) - Add
ERROR_ON_WASM_CHANGES_AFTER_LINK
option that errors if we need to do any work inwasm-emscripten-finalize
orwasm-opt
after linking. This can verify the link is maximally fast and also does no DWARF rewriting. (#12173)
-
Breaking changes to calling Wasm function pointers from JavaScript:
-
It is no longer possible to directly call dynCall_sig(funcPtr, param) to call a function pointer from JavaScript code. As a result, JavaScript code outside all JS libraries (pre-js/post-js/EM_ASM/EM_JS/external JS code) can no longer call a function pointer via static signature matching dynCall_sig, but must instead use the dynamic binding function
dynCall(sig, ptr, args);
This carries a significant performance overhead. The function dynCall is not available in -s MINIMAL_RUNTIME=1 builds. 2. old syntax for calling a Wasm function pointer from a JS library file used to be
{{{ makeDynCall('sig') }}} (ptr, arg1, arg2);
This syntax will no longer work, and until Emscripten <2.0.9 causes a runtime error TypeError: WebAssembly.Table.get(): Argument 0 must be convertible to a valid number.
New syntax for calling Wasm function pointers from JS library files is
{{{ makeDynCall('sig', 'ptr') }}} (arg1, arg2);
See PR #12059 for details.
-
-
The native optimizer and the corresponding config setting (
EMSCRIPTEN_NATIVE_OPTIMIZER
) have been removed (it was only relevant to asmjs/fastcomp backend). -
Remove
ALLOC_DYNAMIC
and deprecatedynamicAlloc
. (#12057, which also removes the internalDYNAMICTOP_PTR
API.) -
Add
ABORT_ON_WASM_EXCEPTIONS
which will abort when an unhandled WASM exception is encountered. This makes the Emscripten program behave more like a native program where the OS would terminate the process and no further code can be executed when an unhandled exception (e.g. out-of-bounds memory access) happens. Once the program aborts any exported function calls will fail with a "program has already aborted" exception to prevent calls into code with a potentially corrupted program state. -
Use
__indirect_function_table
as the import name for the table, which is what LLVM does. -
Remove
BINARYEN_SCRIPTS
setting. -
The default output format is now executable JavaScript. Previously we would default to output objecting files unless, for example, the output name ended in
.js
. This is contrary to behaviour of clang and gcc. Now emscripten will always produce and executable unless the-c
,-r
or-shared
flags are given. This is true even when the name of the output file ends in.o
. e.g,emcc foo.c -o foo.o
will produce a JavaScript file calledfoo.o
. This might surprise some users (although it matches the behavior of existing toolchains) so we now produce a warning in this case.
- Simplify Fetch C API error handling: we used to check if the error code was
0 and switch that to 404, but that only really helps
file://
URLs, which are not very useful for testing anyhow for other reasons (like not working in chrome), and it made things more complex. The behavior has been changed to be simpler and just leave the browser's error code as it is. - Enable
--no-heap-copy
file packager option by default, and remove the old default behavior entirely. That is the behavior we should have had from the beginning as it is more memory-efficient. (#12027) --no-entry
is now required inSTANDALONE_WASM
mode when building a reactor (application without a main function). Previously exporting a list of functions that didn't include_main
would imply this. Now the list ofEXPORTED_FUNCTIONS
is not relevant in the deciding the type of application to build. (#12020)- Allow polymorphic types to be used without RTTI when using embind. (#10914)
- Do not remove
__original_main
using--inline-main
. We used to do this so that it didn't show up in stack traces (which could be confusing because it is added by the linker - it's not in the source code). But this has had several downsides, so we are stopping that now. This does not affect program behavior, unless you look at the wasm internals. However, one noticeable effect is that if you useASYNCIFY_ADD
orASYNCIFY_ONLY
then you may need to add__original_main
to there (since you are doing manual fine-tuning of the list of functions, which depends on the wasm's internals). Note that this should not matter in-O2+
anyhow as normal inlining generally removes__original_main
. (#11995)
- Change the default value of
STACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK
in builds withASSERTIONS
from 2 to 1. This means that plain debug builds (-O0
, which enablesASSERTIONS
) do not have the most expensive stack checks on by default. You can still add them with-s STACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK=2
. - Remove the
RESERVED_FUNCTION_POINTERS
setting, which is no longer needed as we haveALLOW_TABLE_GROWTH
. The old option allowed a fixed number of functions to be added to the table, while the new one allows an unlimited number. (We needed the old option for fastcomp, which could not support growth.) The old setting is mapped to the new one, so that building with-s RESERVED_FUNCTION_POINTERS=K
for anyK > 0
will simply turn on table growth. The only noticeable effect of this is that you will be able to add an unlimited amount of functions and not justK
.
- First release that only supports the new upstream wasm backend (which has been the default for a long time) and no longer supports the old fastcomp backend. (#11319)
- Python2 is no longer supported by Emscripten. Emsdk now includes a bundled copy of Python3 on both macOS and Windows. This means that only non-emsdk users and linux users should be affected by this change.
- Store exceptions metadata in wasm memory instead of JS. This makes exception handling almost 100% thread-safe. (#11518)
- Last release that still has optional support for the old fastcomp backend. The new upstream backend, which has been the default for a long time, will be the only one supported from 2.0.0 and onward (#11319).
- Fix the WebGL2 regression in 1.40.0 due to #11738 (#11780).
- If input files don't have a known extension assume they are object files (linker inputs) rather then source files. This matches gcc/clang behaviour. See #10560.
- This release contains a WebGL2 regression due to #11738.
- The
EM_CONFIG
environment variable and--em-config
command line option no longer support a literal python string. Instead the name of a config file is required. Since all config file settings are individually override-able usingEM_FOO
this should be enough. - Running emscripten under python2 is now deprecated. It will show up as a
warning (which can be disabled with
-Wno-deprecated
). Please update to python3 as we hope to remove support completely in the next releaase.
- Remove the
--save-bc
command line option. This was specific to fastcomp, which is deprecated, and for debugging purposes we already haveEMCC_DEBUG
which saves all intermediate files. - It is now an error if a function listed in the
EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS
list is missing from the build (can be disabled via-Wno-undefined
) (ERROR_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS and WARN_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS no longer apply to these symbols which are explicly exported). - Support for pthreads with wasm2js (
WASM=0
; #11505). - Rename
emscripten/math.h
toemscripten/em_math.h
because if a user addsemscripten/
as an include path with-I
, that can override libc math.h, which leads to very confusing errors.
- In standalone mode make
main
mandatory by default (#11536). To build a library ("reactor"), use--no-entry
. The compiler will suggest that ifmain
is not present. - Automatically resume AudioContexts on user input in SDL and OpenAL (#10843).
- Asyncify now does liveness analysis to find which locals to save (Binaryen#2890).
- Settings on the command line no longer require a space between the
-s
and the name of the setting. For example,-sEXPORT_ALL
is now equivalent to-s EXPORT_ALL
. - Rename
EXCEPTION_CATCHING_WHITELIST
toEXCEPTION_CATCHING_ALLOWED
. The functionality is unchanged, and the old name will be allowed as an alias for a few releases to give users time to migrate. - Add support for the new add-list in Asyncify and update existing list names
following the updates in Binaryen, so that now we have
ASYNCIFY_ADD
to add a function,ASYNCIFY_REMOVE
to remove one (previously this was calledASYNCIFY_BLACKLIST
), andASYNCIFY_ONLY
to set a list of the only functions to instrument and no others (previously this was calledASYNCIFY_WHITELIST
). The updated lists also handle indirect calls properly, so that if you useASYNCIFY_IGNORE_INDIRECT
and then add (using either the add-list or the only-list) all the functions that are on the stack when pausing, then things will work (for more, see WebAssembly/binaryen#2913).
- Disable
LIBCXX_ABI_OPTIMIZED_FUNCTION
which is an ABI change in libc++ (changing the layout of thestd::function
object) (#11403). - New
WASM2C
option that integrates with wabt's wasm2c tool in order to compile everything into a single C file (#11213).
- Use Promise polyfill for MODULARIZE when supporting legacy browsers. (#11320)
- Fix minification of wasm2js output when using --emit-symbol-map. (#11279)
- On first use, emscripten creates a sample config file. This config file
is now created in the emscripten directory by default. The traditional
~/.emscripten
config file in the$HOME
directory is still supported and the sample config will still be written there in the case that the emscripten root is read-only. - The default location for downloaded ports is now a directory called "ports"
within the cache directory. In practice these means by default they live
in
cache/ports
inside the emscripten source directory. This can be controlled by setting the location of the cache directory, or for even more fine grained control theEM_PORTS
environment variable and thePORTS
config setting can be used. - Added support for compiling SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE 4.2 and 128-bit wide AVX intrinsics, emulated on top of Wasm SIMD instruction set. (#11193, #11243, #11290, #11327). Pass -msimd128 -msse to enable targeting SSE.
- Removed obsolete SIMD.js support (-s SIMD=1). Use -msimd128 to target Wasm SIMD. (#11180)
- Add warning about fastcomp deprecation (can be disabled via
-Wno-fastcomp
). - The mmap method of JavaScript filesystem drivers (based on library_fs.js) no longer takes a target memory. It's safer/cleaner/smaller to assume the target is the global memory buffer.
- Remove emterpreter and
EMTERPRETIFY
settings. Emterpreter has largely been replaced by asyncify and is fastcomp only so due for removing in the near future anyway. - Upgrade various musl string functions to 1.2 to fix aliasing issues. (#11215)
-
Add Math C API for direct access to JavaScript Math object (#11151).
-
Address Sanitizer support now includes JavaScript as well, that is, memory access of HEAP* arrays is checked by ASan. That allows errors to be found if JS glue code does something wrong like forget to shift a pointer. To use this, just build with ASan normally,
-fsanitize=address
at link (#11147). -
Fix embind string conversions in multithreaded builds (#10844).
-
ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH
used to silently disableABORTING_MALLOC
. It now just changes the default, which means you can pass-s ABORTING_MALLOC=1
to override the default, which was not possible before. (If you pass the flag and don't want that behavior, stop passing the flag.) (#11131) -
Change the factory function created by using the
MODULARIZE
build option to return a Promise instead of the module instance. That is, beforehandModule()
would return an instance (which was perhaps not ready yet if startup was async). In the new model, that returns a Promise which you can do
.then
orawait
on to get notified when the instance is ready, and the callback receives the instance. Note that both before and after this change doingModule()
creates and runs an instance, so the only change is the return value from that call. This fixes some long-standing bugs with that option which have been reported multiple times, but is a breaking change - sorry about that. To reduce the risk of confusing breakage, in a build withASSERTIONS
we will show a clear warning on common errors. For more, see detailed examples for the current usage insrc/settings.js
onMODULARIZE
. (#10697) -
A new
PRINTF_LONG_DOUBLE
option allows printf to print long doubles at full float128 precision. (#11130) -
emscripten_async_queue_on_thread
has been renamed toemscripten_dispatch_to_thread
which no longer implies that it is async - the operation is in fact only async if it is sent to another thread, while it is sync if on the same one. A newemscripten_dispatch_to_thread_async
function is added which is always async. -
The emscripten cache now lives in a directory called
cache
at the root of the emscripten tree by default. TheCACHE
config setting and theEM_CACHE
environment variable can be used to override this (#11126). -
Honor
CACHE
setting in config file as an alternative toEM_CACHE
environment variable. -
Remove
--cache
command line arg. TheCACHE
config setting and theEM_CACHE
environment variable can be used to control this. -
Compiling to a file with no suffix will now generate an executable (JS) rather than an object file. This means simple cases like
emcc -o foo foo.c
do the expected thing and generate an executable. -
System libraries such as libc and libc++ are now included by default at link time rather than selectively included based on the symbols used in the input object files. For small programs that don't use any system libraries this might result in slightly slower link times with the old fastcomp backend. In order to exclude these libraries build with
-nostdlib
and/or-nostdlib++
.
- Add
--extern-pre-js
and--extern-post-js
emcc flags. Files provided there are prepended/appended to the final JavaScript output, after all other work has been done, including optimization, optionalMODULARIZE
-ation, instrumentation likeSAFE_HEAP
, etc. They are the same as prepending/ appending those files afteremcc
finishes running, and are just a convenient way to do that. (For comparison,--pre-js
and--post-js
optimize that code together with everything else, keep it in the same scope if runningMODULARIZE
, etc.). - Stop defining
FE_INEXACT
and other floating point exception macros in libc, since we don't support them. That also prevents musl from including code using pragmas that don't make sense for wasm. Ifdef out other uses of those pragmas as well, as tip of tree LLVM now fails to compile them on wasm. (#11087) - Update libcxx and libcxxabi to LLVM 10 release branch (#11038).
- Remove
BINARYEN_PASSES
setting (#11057). We still haveBINARYEN_EXTRA_PASSES
(the removed setting completely overrides the set of passes from the command line, which doesn't make much sense as some of them are mandatory like setting the sbrk ptr). - Remove
MODULARIZE_INSTANCE
build option (#11037). This was a seldom used option that was complicating the logic forMODULARIZE
. Module instances can be created by usingMODULARIZE
and calling the factory function explicitly. See the new--extern-post-js
option added in this release, which can help code that usedMODULARIZE_INSTANCE
(you can add an extern post js which doesModule = Module();
for example).
- Update SDL2 to latest in ports, which has recently been updated to include upstream 2.0.10.
- Add warning on use of
EMTERPRETIFY
which is soon to be removed. - Emscripten can now compile assembly files in llvm's .s/.S file format.
- Remove test-only environment variable handling for
EMCC_LEAVE_INPUTS_RAW
. The two uses cases in our test code were covered by the-nostdlib
option. - Remove untested
CONFIGURE_CC
. This could be used to override the underlying compiler used in emcc/em++ but only during configure tests. There are other ways to control/fake the detected configure features that don't require such monkey patching. For example setting defaults via a site file: https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.67/html_node/Site-Defaults.html - Remove undocumented and untested config settings:
COMPILER_OPTS
. This was a global setting in the emscripten config file that would inject extra compiler options. - Allow spaces in a path to Python interpreter when running emscripten from Unix shell (#11005).
- Support atexit() in standalone mode (#10995). This also fixes stdio stream flushing on exit in that mode.
- Support for WebAssembly BigInt integration with a new
WASM_BIGINT
flag. With that the VM will use a JS BigInt for a wasm i64, avoiding the need for JS legalization. See #10860. - Add another value for ENVIRONMENT named 'webview' - it is a companion option for 'web' and enables some additional compatibility checks so that generated code works both in normal web and in a webview like Cordova. See #10846
- Pass linker flags directly to wasm-ld by default. We still filter out certain flags explicitly. If there are other flags that it would be useful for us to ignore we can add them to the list of ignored flags.
- Optionally support 2GB+ heap sizes. To do this we make the JS code have unsigned
pointers (we need all 32 bits in them now), which can slightly increase code
size (>>> instead of >>). This only happens when the heap size may be over
2GB, which you must opt into explicitly, by setting
MAXIMUM_MEMORY
to a higher value (i.e. by default you do not get support for 2GB+ heaps). See #10601 --llvm-lto
flag is now ignored when using the upstream llvm backend. With the upstream backend LTO is controlled via-flto
.- Require format string for emscripten_log.
- Program entry points without extensions are now shell scripts rather than
python programs. See #10729. This means that
python emcc
no longer works. Howeveremcc
,emcc.py
andpython emcc.py
all continue to work. The reason for this change is that#!/usr/bin/env python
is no longer portable since the python symlink was dropped from Ubuntu 20.04. - New EM_IMPORT macro to mark C/C++ symbols as imported from outside the module (i.e. imported from JS). Currently we still default to assuming that all undefined symbols can come from JS, but in the future we hope to mark such symbols explicitly to allow the linker to report on genuinely undefined symbols.
- Dynamic linking optimizations: Stop emitting unnecessary
fp$
andg$
accessors in main modules, possible in Binaryen thanks to ensuring function table indexes are unique (#10741). - New
JS_MATH
option to useMath.*
in JS instead of compiled musl (#10821). - Pass
Module
to Module callback functions likeModule.preRun
(#10777). - Support not having ports, for packagers of emscripten that don't want them (#10810).
- Rename syscalls to have meaningful names (#10750).
- The default c++ version is no longer fixed at c++03. We now fall back to clang's default which is currently c++14.
- Remove arc4random function form library.js. This is a BSD-only library function. Anyone requiring BSD compat should be able to use something like https://libbsd.freedesktop.org/.
- Change the meaning of
ASYNCIFY_IMPORTS
: it now contains only new imports you add, and does not need to contain the list of default system imports likeemscripten_sleep
. There is no harm in providing them, though, so this is not a breaking change. - Enable DWARF support: When compiling with
-g
, normal DWARF emitting happens, and when linking with-g
we preserve that and update it. This is a change from before, where we assumed DWARF was unneeded and did not emit it, so this can increase the size of debug builds (i.e. builds compiling and/or linking with -g). This change is necessary for full debugging support, that is, to be able to build with-g
and use a debugger. Before this change only the-gforce_dwarf
flag enabled DWARF; that flag is now removed. If you want the old behavior, build your object files with-gline-tables-only
(that will only add line table info, which is just enough for things like source maps and does not include full debug info). For more info and background see #10325. - Remove hacks from
memset
handling, in particular, in the wasm backend, completely remove the JS version of memset from the JS library and fromDEFAULT_LIBRARY_FUNCS_TO_INCLUDE
. The regular C version will be linked in from compiler_rt normally. A noticeable difference you may see is that a JS library cannot add a__dep
tomemset
- deps only work for JS library functions, but now we only have the regular C version. If you hit that issue, just add_memset
toEXPORTED_FUNCTIONS
(or adjustdeps_info.json
). - Minimal runtime code size optimizations, see #10725, #10724, #10663.
- wasm2js fix for a long-existing but very rare correctness bug, see #10682.
- Use atomics in musl lock/unlock in pthreads builds, which may fix very rare pthreads + stdio issues (none have been reported though). See #10670.
- Fix a SIMD regression in 1.39.9 (#10658).
- Fix
emscripten_atomic_exchange_u8,16,32,64
(#10657). - Switch bzip2 to an emscripten-ports mirror.
- Add support for -Wall, -Werror, -w, -Wno-error=, -Werror=, for controlling internal emscripten errors. The behavior of these flags matches the gcc/clang counterparts.
- Rename
TOTAL_MEMORY
toINITIAL_MEMORY
andWASM_MEM_MAX
toMAXIMUM_MEMORY
, which are more accurate and match wasm conventions. The old names are still supported as aliases. - Updated of libc++abi and libc++ to llvm 9.0.0 (#10510)
- Refactor syscall interface: Syscalls are no longer variadic (except those that are inherently such as open) and no longer take the syscall number as arg0. This should be invisible to most users but will effect any external projects that try to implement/emulate the emscripten syscall interface. See #10474
- Removed src/library_vr.js, as it was outdated and nonfunctional, and the WebVR specification has been obsoleted in favor of the upcoming WebXR specification. (#10460)
- Deprecate
WASM_OBJECT_FILES
setting. There are many standard ways to enable bitcode objects (-flto, -flto=full, -flto=thin, -emit-llvm). - Removed EmscriptenWebGLContextAttributes::preferLowPowerToHighPerformance option that has become unsupported by WebGL. Access EmscriptenWebGLContextAttributes::powerPreference instead. (#10505)
- When implementing forwarding function aliases in JS libraries, either the alias or the target function must contain a signature annotation. (#10550)
- Add a check in Asyncify builds with
ASSERTIONS
that we do not have compiled code on the stack when starting to rewind, which is dangerous. - Implement libc system() for node.js (#10547).
- Standalone mode improvements, time (#10530, #10536), sysconf (#10535), getpagesize (#10533), _Exit (#10534)
- Fix many closure compiler warnings (e.g. #10525).
- Avoid unnecessary syscall proxying (#10511).
- Added new link time command line option -jsDfoo=val to allow specifying custom preprocessor options to JS library files. (#10624, #10580)
- Add LLD_REPORT_UNDEFINED option that should allow for more detailed
diagnostics when symbols are undefined at link time. This currently has
some limitations and is not enabled by default. For example, EM_JS symbols
are reported as undefined at link time, as are
__invoke_*
functions. - wasm2js optimizations. See binaryen#2623.
- WebGPU Compute fixes. Simple examples now work. See #10367.
- Many DWARF debug info fixes. Emitting of DWARF is correct as far as we know,
including when optimizing (a few passes are disabled for now, but almost all
work). We still only generate it behind the
-gforce_dwarf
flag for now, though (but that should be removed soon).
- The checked-in copy of the Closure compiler was removed in favor of getting it
from npm. This means that developers now need to run
npm install
after checking out emscripten if they want to use closure (--closure). emsdk users are not effected because emsdk runs this as a post install step (#9989). - Added support for specifying JSDoc minification annotations for Closure in JS library, pre and post files. See https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/wiki/Annotating-JavaScript-for-the-Closure-Compiler (#10272)
- Add new Fibers API for context switching, that supersedes the old coroutine API that only ran on fastcomp. See #9859
- Added new linker option -s WASM=2 which produces a dual Wasm+JS build, which falls back to using a JavaScript version if WebAssembly is not supported in target browser/shell. (#10118)
- Added new linker option -s CLOSURE_WARNINGS=quiet|warn|error that allows aborting the build if the Closure compiler produced any warnings.
- Development has switched from the "incoming" branch to "master".
- Added new system header <emscripten/heap.h>, which enables querying information about the current WebAssembly heap state.
- Reduced default geometric memory overgrowth rate from a very generous 2x factor to a more memory conserving +20% factor, and capped maximum reservation to 96MB at most.
- Added options MEMORY_GROWTH_GEOMETRIC_STEP and MEMORY_GROWTH_GEOMETRIC_CAP to allow customizing the heap growth rates.
- Renamed MEMORY_GROWTH_STEP option to MEMORY_GROWTH_LINEAR_STEP option.
- Added new linker option -s HTML5_SUPPORT_DEFERRING_USER_SENSITIVE_REQUESTS=0 (default enabled) to allow disabling support for deferred fullscreen mode and pointer lock requests for applications that do not need deferring support.
- Added support for streaming Wasm compilation in MINIMAL_RUNTIME (off by default)
- All ports now install their headers into a shared directory under
EM_CACHE
. This should not really be a user visible change although one side effect is that once a given port is built, its headers are then universally accessible, just like the library is universally available as-l<name>
. - Removed
timestamp
field from mouse, wheel, devicemotion and deviceorientation events. The presence of atimestamp
on these events was slightly arbitrary, and populating this field caused a small profileable overhead that all users might not care about. It is easy to get a timestamp of an event by callingemscripten_get_now()
oremscripten_performance_now()
inside the event handler function of any event. - Add fine-grained options for specific legacy browser support,
MIN_FIREFOX_VERSION
,MIN_SAFARI_VERSION
,MIN_IE_VERSION
,MIN_EDGE_VERSION
,MIN_CHROME_VERSION
. The existingLEGACY_VM_SUPPORT
option sets all of them to 0, that is, maximal backwards compatibility. Note that going forward, we will use these settings in more places, so if you do need very old legacy browser support, you may need to set eitherLEGACY_VM_SUPPORT
or the fine-grained options. For more details see #9937 - Default
DISABLE_DEPRECATED_FIND_EVENT_TARGET_BEHAVIOR
to 1. See #9895. With this change the old deprecated HTML5 API event target lookup behavior is disabled. There is no "Module.canvas" object, no magic "null" default handling, and DOM element 'target' parameters are taken to refer to CSS selectors, instead of referring to DOM IDs. For more information see: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/emscripten-discuss/xScZ_LRIByk/_gEy67utDgAJ - WASI API updated from
wasi_unstable
towasi_snapshot_preview1
. This is mostly an implementation detail, but if you useSTANDALONE_WASM
it means that the output of emscripten now requires a runtime withwasi_snapshot_preview1
support. SAFE_STACK
has been removed, as it overlaps withSTACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK
. ReplaceSAFE_STACK=1
withSTACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK=2
(note the value is 2). This also has the effect of enabling stack checking on upstream builds whenASSERTIONS
are enabled (as assertions enableSTACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK=2
).
- Remove deprecated
requestFullScreen
method fromlibrary_browser.js
, please userequestFullscreen
(without the capital S). - Remove deprecated
requestFullScreen
andcancelFullScreen
fromlibrary_glut.js
- Remove deprecated
requestFullScreen
andcancelFullScreen
fromlibrary_glfw.js
- Fix SDL2_mixer support for ogg vorbis. See #9849
- Various source maps fixes, see #9926 #9882 #9837 #9814
- Archives with missing indexes will now have ranlib run on them automatically at link time. This avoids linker errors when using GNU ar to build archive files.
ERROR_ON_MISSING_LIBRARIES
now also applies to internal symbols that start withemscripten_
. Prior to this change such missing symbols would result in a runtime error, now they are reported at compile time.- Pthread blocking on the main thread will now warn in the console. If
ALLOW_BLOCKING_ON_MAIN_THREAD
is unset then the warning is an error. - Add
pthread_tryjoin_np
, which is a POSIX API similar topthread_join
but without blocking. - New function
emscripten_has_asyncify()
. - Add support for pthreads in Node.js, using Node Workers. See #9745
- Only MEMFS is included by default, others (NODEFS, IDBFS, WORKERFS, PROXYFS)
must be linked in explicitly, using
-lnodefs.js
,-lidbfs.js
',-lworkerfs.js
,-lproxyfs.js
. See #9645
- The emsdk defaults to the upstream backend (instead of fastcomp) from this release onward (but both backends are still fully supported). See https://emscripten.org/docs/compiling/WebAssembly.html#backends
- Add support for overriding
.emscripten
config variables using environment variables. Any config variableFOO
can be overridden byEM_FOO
in the environment. -Werror
now also turns warnings in the python driver code into errors.- Internal settings have moved from
settings.js
tosettings_internal.js
. These are settings that are for internal use only and are not set-able from the command line. If we misclassified any of these please open a bug. STANDALONE_WASM
mode now supports setting up argv via wasi APIs.STANDALONE_WASM
mode now supports running static constructors in_start
.
- Add support for
MAIN_THREAD_EM_ASM
in wasm backend. #9560 - Add ability to disable FETCH worker in Fastcomp backend via
USE_FETCH_WORKER=0
. This is useful for people who use FETCH, but don't perform any synchronous fetches on the main thread. #9567 - Remove
EMCONFIGURE_JS
. Since #6269 we have set it to "2" which means never use native, always use JS.
- Add support for FETCH API in WASM backend. This doesn't support FETCH in the
main thread (
USE_FETCH_WORKER=0
is enforced). #9490 - Redefine errno values to be consistent with wasi. This will let us avoid needing to convert the values back and forth as we use more wasi APIs. This is an ABI change, which should not be noticeable from user code unless you use errno defines (like EAGAIN) and keep around binaries compiled with an older version that you link against. In that case, you should rebuild them. See #9545.
- Removed build option
-s ONLY_MY_CODE
as we now have much better solutions for that, like building to a wasm object file or usingSTANDALONE_WASM
etc. (see https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/wiki/WebAssembly-Standalone). - Emscripten now supports the config file (.emscripten) being placed in the emscripten directory rather that the current user's home directory. See #9543
- Rename libpthreads to libpthread to match its normal name on other platforms. This change should be completely internal to emscripten.
- Remove redundant
COMPILER_ENGINE
andJS_ENGINE
options. We only support node as the compiler engine so just use a singleNODE_JS
option for that. - Module.abort is no longer exported by default. It can be exported in the normal
way using
EXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS
, and as with other such changes in the past, forgetting to export it will show a clear error inASSERTIONS
mode. - Remove
EMITTING_JS
flag, and replace it withSTANDALONE_WASM
. That flag indicates that we want the wasm to be as standalone as possible. We may still emit JS in that case, but the JS would just be a convenient way to run the wasm on the Web or in Node.js. ASYNCIFY_BLACKLIST
andASYNCIFY_WHITELIST
now support simple '*' wildcard matching
- Remove Binaryen from the ports system. This means that emscripten will
no longer automatically build Binaryen from source. Instead, either use
the emsdk (binaries are provided automatically, just like for LLVM), or
build it yourself and point
BINARYEN_ROOT
in .emscripten to it. See #9409
- noExitRuntime is no longer a property on the Module object. Use
noExitRuntime
instead ofModule.noExitRuntime
.
- Add support for address sanitizer and standalone leak sanitizer with multiple threads. (#9060, #9076)
- Remove
ERROR_ON_MISSING_LIBRARIES
setting (it's always on now) - Remove the ability to use Python operators in flags that support KB/MB/GB/TB
suffixes, e.g.
TOTAL_MEMORY
. This means that-s TOTAL_MEMORY=1024*1024
will no longer work. This is done because the mechanism may result in execution of arbitrary code via command line flags.
- Remove fastcomp's implementation of Asyncify. This has been deprecated for a long time, since we added Emterpreter-Async, and now we have a new Asyncify implementation in the upstream wasm backend. It is recommended to upgrade to the upstream backend and use Asyncify there if you need it. (If you do still need the older version, you can use 1.38.40.)
- Drop ExitStatus from inheriting from Error(), as that could capture the whole global scope, preventing temporary variables at page startup from being garbage collected. (#9108)
__builtin_return_address
now requires-s USE_OFFSET_CONVERTER=1
to work. (#9073)- emrun now uses HTTP/1.1 instead of HTTP/1.0.
callMain
is no longer exported by default on Module, to allow better JS minification. You must add it toEXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS
if you want to call it on Module. (In assertions builds, an error with an explanation is shown.)- Allow expressions with side effects as
EM_ASM
's arguments and prohibit non-arithmetic arguments (e.g. pointers, functions, arrays, objects). (#9054) emcc
on Windows now uses native newline byte sequence to get a line to print for parse error reporting. (#9088)- Internal API update: one can now specialize embind's (un)marshalling for a group of types via SFINAE, instead of a single type. (#9089)
- Options passed on the
Module
object during startup, likeModule.arguments
, are now copied to a local (in order to avoid writingModule.*
everywhere, which wastes space). You can still provide them as always, but you can't modifyModule.arguments
and other things after startup (which is now after we've finished processing them). In a build with assertions enabled you will get an error if you access those properties after startup. (#9072)
- LLVM backend pthread builds no longer use external memory initialization files, replacing them with passive data segments.
- LLVM backend now supports thread local storage via the C extension
__thread
and the C11/C++11 keywordthread_local
. (#8976) - Internal API change: Move read, readAsync, readBinary, setWindowTitle from
the Module object to normal JS variables. If you use those internal APIs,
you must change
Module.readAsync()/Module['readAsync']()
toreadAsync()
. Note that read is also renamed toread_
(since "read
" is an API call in the SpiderMonkey shell). In builds with ASSERTIONS, an error message is shown about the API change. This change allows better JS minification (the names read, readAsync etc. can be minified, and if the variables are not used they can be removed entirely). Defining these APIs on Module (which was never documented or intended, but happened to work) is also no longer allowed (but you can overrideread_
etc. from JS).
- Add support for address sanitizer. (#8884)
- Currently, only supports one thread without dynamic linking.
- Rename Bysyncify (the name used during development) to Asyncify. This keeps the name consistent with the old ASYNCIFY flag, no need for a new one, as they basically do the same thing.
- Add support for standalone leak sanitizer. (#8711)
- Set ENV['LANG'] following the user's preferred language (HTTP Accept-Language / navigator.languages[0])
emscripten_run_script_string
now returns CNULL
instead of the stringnull
orundefined
when the result of theeval
is JavaScriptnull
orundefined
.- Add a new system for managing system libraries. (#8780)
This may require minor changes when performing certain operations:
- When using
embuilder.py
to build a specific library, the name may have changed: for consistency, all library names are prefixed with lib now. embuilder.py
now only builds the requested library, and not its dependencies and certain system libraries that are always built. For example, runningembuilder.py build libc
no longer buildslibcompiler_rt
if it hasn't be built.- When using
EMCC_FORCE_STDLIBS
with a list of libraries, you must now use the simplified names, for example,libmalloc
andlibpthreads
instead oflibdlmalloc
orlibpthreads_stub
. These names will link in the correct version of the library: if the build is configured to useemmalloc
,libmalloc
will meanlibemmalloc
, and if thread support is disabled,libpthreads
will meanlibpthreads_stub
. This allows you to saylibmalloc
orlibpthreads
without worrying about which implementation is supposed to be used, and avoid duplicate symbols if you used the wrong implementation.
- When using
- LLVM wasm backend pthreads fixes, see #8811, #8718
- Include some waterfall fixes for the emsdk builds on linux regarding libtinfo.
- NOTE: due to a CI failure, builds for mac and windows were not generated.
- Add support for undefined behavior sanitizer.
- This allows
emcc -fsanitize=undefined
to work. (#8651) - The minimal runtime (
-fsanitize-minimal-runtime
) also works. (#8617)
- This allows
- First release to use the new chromium build infrastructure https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/emscripten-discuss/WhDtqVyW_Ak/8DfDnfk0BgAJ
- Add
emscripten_return_address
which implements the functionality of gcc/clang's__builtin_return_address
. (#8617)
- The transition from the old to the new CI occurred around here. To avoid ambiguity while both CIs were still generating builds, we just tagged a new one (1.38.33) on the new CI and skipped 1.38.32.
- The transition also moves all builds and downloads away from the old mozilla-games infrastructure to the new chromium ones. As a result all links to mozilla-games URLs will not work (these were never documented, but could be seen from the internals of the emsdk; the new emsdk uses the proper new URLs, so you can either use the sdk normally or find the URLs from there).
- Change
ino_t/off_t
to 64-bits. (#8467) - Add port for bzip2 library (
libbz2.a
). (#8349) - Add port for libjpeg library. (#8361)
- Enable
ERROR_ON_MISSING_LIBRARIES
by default (#8461)
- Remove Module.buffer which was exported by default unnecessarily. This was an undocumented internal detail, but in theory, code may have relied on it. (#8277)
- Option
-s EMTERPRETIFY_WHITELIST
now accepts shell-style wildcards; this allows matching static functions with conflicting names that the linker distinguishes by appending a random suffix. - Normalize mouse wheel delta in
library_browser.js
. This changes the scroll amount in SDL, GLFW, and GLUT. (#7968)
- Change how
EMCC_LOCAL_PORTS
works, to be more usable. See #7963 - Remove deprecated Pointer_stringify (use UTF8ToString instead). See #8011
- Added a new option
-s DISABLE_DEPRECATED_FIND_EVENT_TARGET_BEHAVIOR=1
that changes the lookup semantics of DOM elements in html5.h event handler callbacks and WebGL context creation. The new behavior is to use CSS selector strings to look up DOM elements over the old behavior, which was somewhat ad hoc constructed rules around default Emscripten uses. The old behavior will be deprecated and removed in the future. Build with -s ASSERTIONS=1 to get diagnostics messages related to this transition. - Breaking change with -s USE_PTHREADS=1 + -s FETCH=1: When building with -o a.html, the generated worker script is now named "a.fetch.js" according to the base name of the specified output, instead of having a fixed name "fetch-worker.js".
- Fix some pthreads proxying deadlocks. See #7865
- Move kripken/emscripten,emscripten-fastcomp,emscripten-fastcomp-clang to emscripten-core/*
- Perform JS static allocations at compile time (#7850)
- Remove BINARYEN_METHOD: no more support for interpret modes, and if you want non-wasm, use WASM=0.
- Support specifying multiple possible ENVIRONMENTs (#7809)
- Add Regal port. See #7674
- System libraries have been renamed to include the
lib
prefix. If you useEMCC_FORCE_STDLIBS
orEMCC_ONLY_FORCED_STDLIBS
to select system libraries you may need to add thelib
prefix. - Rename
pthread-main.js
toNAME.worker.js
, whereNAME
is the main name of your application, that is, if you emitprogram.js
then you'll getprogram.worker.js
(this allows more than one to exist in the same directory, etc.). - Dynamic linker has been taught to handle library -> library dependencies.
- fastcomp: Remove
runPostSets
function and replace with normal static constructor function. See #7579
- Remove SPLIT_MEMORY option.
- Move getTempRet0/setTempRet0 to be JS library functions rather than auto-generated by fastcomp.
- Change
strptime()
's handling of the "%c" to match that ofstrftime()
. This is a breaking change for code which depends on the old definition of "%c".
- Wasm dynamic linking: Rename
tableBase/memoryBase
to__table_base/__memory_base
(#7467)
- Minify wasm import and export names. This decreases JS and wasm size by minifying the identifiers where JS calls into wasm or vice versa, which are not minifiable by closure or other JS-only tools. This happens in -O3, -Os and above. See #7431
- Breaking change: Do not automatically set EXPORT_ALL for MAIN_MODULES or SIDE_MODULES. This means that you must explicitly export things that will be called from outside (normally, on EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS), or you can manually enable EXPORT_ALL yourself (which returns to the exact same behavior as before). This change brings us in line with more standard dynamic linking, and will match what the LLVM wasm backend will have. See #7312.
- Invalid -s flags on the command line are now treated as errors.
- Remove BUILD_AS_SHARED_LIBRARY setting.
- Errors are now reported when functions listed in EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS are not defined. This can be disabled via ERROR_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS=0. See #7311.
- Support
-s NO_X=1
as an alias for-s X=0
and vice versa, which simplifies current settings withNO_
-prefixed names. See #7151. - Various
EMULATED_FUNCTION_POINTER
improvements. See #7108, #7128. ERROR_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS
is now the default. See #7196
- Update SDL2 to 2.0.7. See #7016.
- Optionally build using native object files (wasm backend only).
For now this is behind a new option flag:
-s WASM_OBJECT_FILES=1
. See #6875.
- Support for loading wasm files in the same dir as the JS file, using node.js/Web-specific techniques as applicable. See #5368 and followups.
- Add an API for async side module compilation in wasm. See #6663.
- Remove builtin Crunch support. See #6827.
- Change the type of
size_t
and friends from int to long. This may have noticeable effects if you depend on the name mangling of a function that usessize_t
(like inEXPORTED_FUNCTIONS
), and you must rebuild source files to bitcode (so your bitcode is in sync with the system libraries after they are rebuilt with this change). Otherwise this should not have any noticeable effects for users. See #5916.
- Fix
Module.locateFile
to resolve relative paths to *.wasm, *.mem and other files relatively to the main JavaScript file rather than the current working directory (see #5368).- Add second argument
prefix
toModule.locateFile
function that contains the path to the JavaScript file where files are loaded from by default. - Remove
Module.*PrefixURL
APIs (useModule.locateFile
instead).
- Add second argument
- Fix a regression in 1.38.7 with binaryen no longer bundling binaryen.js (which emscripten doesn't need, that's just for handwritten JS users, but emscripten did check for its presence).
- Correctness fix for stack handling in
invoke_*()s
. This may add noticeable overhead to programs using C++ exceptions and (less likely) setjmp/longjmp - please report any issues. See #6666 #6702 - Deprecate Module.ENVIRONMENT: Now that we have a compile-time option to set the environment, also having a runtime one on Module is complexity that we are better off without. When Module.ENVIRONMENT is used with ASSERTIONS it will show an error to direct users to the new option (-s ENVIRONMENT=web , or node, etc., at compile time).
- Breaking change: Do not export print/printErr by default. Similar to other similar changes (like getValue/setValue). We now use out() and err() functions in JS to print to stdout/stderr respectively. See #6756.
- Update libc++ to 6.0, bringing c++17 support (std::byte etc.)
- Fix asm.js validation regression from 1.38.2.
- Upgrade to LLVM 6.0.1.
- Add ENVIRONMENT option to specify at compile time we only need JS to support one runtime environment (e.g., just the web). When emitting HTML, set that to web so we emit web code only. #6565
- Regression in asm.js validation due to cttz optimization #6547
- Remove special-case support for
src/struct_info.compiled.json
: Make it a normal cached thing like system libraries, not something checked into the source tree. - Breaking change: Emit WebAssembly by default. Only the default is changed -
we of course still support asm.js, and will for a very long time. But
changing the default makes sense as the recommended output for most use cases
should be WebAssembly, given it has shipped in all major browsers and
platforms and is more efficient than asm.js. Build with
-s WASM=0
to disable wasm and use asm.js if you want that (or use-s LEGACY_VM_SUPPORT=1
, which emits output that can run in older browsers, which includes a bunch of polyfills as well as disables wasm). (#6419)
- Fix regression in 1.37.39 on -s X=@file parsing (see #6497, #6436)
- Regression: Parsing of
-s X=@file
broke if the file contains a newline (see #6436; fixed in 1.37.40)
- Breaking change: Simplify exception handling, disabling it by default.
Previously it was disabled by default in -O1 and above and enabled in -O0,
which could be confusing. You may notice this change if you need exceptions
and only run in -O0 (since if you test in -O1 or above, you'd see you need to
enable exceptions manually), in which case you will receive an error at
runtime saying that exceptions are disabled by default and that you should
build with
-s DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=0
to enable them. - Fix regression in 1.37.37 on configure scripts on MacOS (see #6456)
- Regression: configure scripts on MacOS may be broken (see #6456; fixed in 1.37.38)
- MALLOC option, allowing picking between dlmalloc (previous allocator and still the default) and emmalloc, a new allocator which is smaller and simpler.
- Binaryen update that should fix all known determinism bugs.
addFunction
is now supported on LLVM wasm backend, but when being used on the wasm backend, you need to provide an additional second argument, a Wasm function signature string. Each character within a signature string represents a type. The first character represents the return type of a function, and remaining characters are for parameter types.- 'v': void type
- 'i': 32-bit integer type
- 'j': 64-bit integer type (currently does not exist in JavaScript)
- 'f': 32-bit float type
- 'd': 64-bit float type For asm.js and asm2wasm you can provide the optional second argument, but it isn't needed. For that reason this isn't a breaking change, however, providing the second argument is recommended so that code is portable across all backends and modes.
- LLVM and clang updates from upstream (5.0svn, close 5.0 release).
- Breaking change: Don't export the
ALLOC_*
numeric constants by default. As with previous changes, a warning will be shown in-O0
and whenASSERTIONS
are on if they are used. - Breaking change: Don't export FS methods by default. As with previous
changes, a warning will be shown in
-O0
and whenASSERTIONS
are on, which will suggest either exporting the specific methods you need, or usingFORCE_FILESYSTEM
which will auto export all the main filesystem methods. Aside from using FS methods yourself, you may notice this change when using a file package created standalone, that is, by running the file packager directly and then loading it at run time (as opposed to tellingemcc
to package the files for you, in which case it would be aware of them at compile time); you should build withFORCE_FILESYSTEM
to ensure filesystem support for that case.
- Breaking change: Remove the
Runtime
object, and move all the useful methods from it to simple top-level functions. Any usage ofRuntime.func
should be changed tofunc
.
- Breaking change: Change
NO_EXIT_RUNTIME
to 1 by default. This means that by default we don't include code to shut down the runtime, flush stdio streams, run atexits, etc., which is better for code size. WhenASSERTIONS
is on, we warn at runtime if there is text buffered in the streams that should be flushed, or atexits are used. - Meta-DCE for JS+wasm: remove unused code between JS+wasm more aggressively. This should not break valid code, but may break code that depended on unused code being kept around (like using a function from outside the emitted JS without exporting it - only exported things are guaranteed to be kept alive through optimization).
- Breaking change: Similar to the getValue/setValue change from before (and
with the same
ASSERTIONS
warnings to help users), do not export the following runtime methods by default: ccall, cwrap, allocate, Pointer_stringify, AsciiToString, stringToAscii, UTF8ArrayToString, UTF8ToString, stringToUTF8Array, stringToUTF8, lengthBytesUTF8, stackTrace, addOnPreRun, addOnInit, addOnPreMain, addOnExit, addOnPostRun, intArrayFromString, intArrayToString, writeStringToMemory, writeArrayToMemory, writeAsciiToMemory.
- Breaking change: Do not polyfill Math.{clz32, fround, imul, trunc} by
default. A new
LEGACY_VM_SUPPORT
option enables support for legacy browsers. InASSERTIONS
mode, a warning is shown if a polyfill was needed, suggesting using that option. - Breaking change: Do not export getValue/setValue runtime methods by default.
You can still use them by calling them directly in code optimized with the
main file (pre-js, post-js, js libraries; if the optimizer sees they are
used, it preserves them), but if you try to use them on
Module
then you must export them by adding them toEXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS
. In-O0
or whenASSERTIONS
is on, a run-time error message explains that, if they are attempted to be used incorrectly.
- Updated to libc++'s "v2" ABI, which provides better alignment for string data and other improvements. This is an ABI-incompatible change, so bitcode files from previous versions will not be compatible.
