    But how do you know where to import these functions? Idk bro, I just grepped the wasix-libc till I found something that looked right.

    Very few things are impossible on tech land.

    I'd like to invite you to https://wasmer.sh/, where you'll see bash compiled to Wasm and working fully on the browser, using fork under the hood.

    Also, this example might be enlightening: https://github.com/wasix-org/wasix-libc/blob/main/examples/f... (feel free to chime into the examples folder, where you may see other previously-thought-impossible accomplishments, such as longjmp and setjmp working fully on the browser).

    Alternatively you can use the wasi-sdk toolchain instead of Emscripten:

    I would really love being able to take any POSIX command line tool, compile that to WASI, and run it on (at least) Linux, Windows and macOS like a regular executable without having to install a separate WASI runtime.

    I'm a 'WASI convert' since I was able to take an ancient 8-bit assembler written in the mid-90's (http://xi6.com/projects/asmx/), compile that as-is with the WASI SDK (https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk), and then integrate it into a VSCode extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=floooh.v...).

    A similar problem is I have is a shader cross-compiler (https://github.com/floooh/sokol-tools) which needs to run Linux, macOS and Windows and takes too long to build locally, thus I currently need to distribute that as pre-built binaries. Compiling this to WASI works, but the filesystem access restrictions built into current wasm runtimes are a hassle to manage, and it would require a WASI runtime to be separately installed).

  • WASI: WebAssembly System Interface

    There is the WASI SDK if you want to target WASI from C/C++:

    It may not have all the amenities of Emscripten, but it's way less bulky.

  • How to Debug WASI Pipelines with ITK-Wasm
    6 projects | dev.to | 2 Mar 2023
    The most direct way to debug WebAssembly is through the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI). In itk-wasm, we can build to WASI with the WASI SDK by specifying the itkwasm/wasi toolchain image. A backtrace can quickly be obtained with the itk-wasm CLI. Or, a fully fledged debugger session can be started with LLDB.

    We use the add_executable command to build executables with itk-wasm. The Emscripten and WASI toolchains along with itk-wasm build and execution configurations are contained in itk-wasm dockcross Docker images invoked by the itk-wasm command line interface (CLI). Note that the same code can also be built and tested with native operating system toolchains. This is useful for development and debugging.

    A more lightweight tool than emscripten is the WASI SDK (https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk/releases). However, it doesn't generate JS or HTML.

    First, we’ll download the wasi-sdk. We’ll use wasi-sdk-16.0-linux.tar.gz, the latest version available when writing this article. We’ll move the file to the /opt directory and unpack it as follows:

    I'm intrigued. Pretty good write-up about it here. One would need an ebuild for wasi-libc and an ebuild for wasi-sdk.

    The previously mentioned PR for wasm32-unknown-unknown compatibility solved this by including libc .c files from OpenBSD. My go to solution is different though. I prefer to build using the wasi-sdk (a WASI-enabled WebAssembly C/C++ toolchain).
