The release of Emscripten 4.0 has been published, allowing the compilation of code in C\/C++ and other languages that have frontends based on LLVM into a universal low-level intermediate WebAssembly code. The resulting output can be used for integration with JavaScript projects, running in web browsers, utilizing Node.js, or creating standalone cross-platform applications executed via a wasm runtime. The project code is licensed under the MIT license. The compiler uses developments from the LLVM project, and the Binaryen library is used for generating WebAssembly and optimization. <\/p>\n

The primary goal of Emscripten is to create a tool that allows code to run on the Web regardless of the programming language in which it was originally written. The compiled applications can use calls to standard C and C++ libraries (libc, libcxx), C++ extensions, multithreading based on pthreads, POSIX APIs, and many multimedia libraries. API support is separately provided for integration with Web APIs and JavaScript code. <\/p>\n

Emscripten supports the translation of SDL2 library output through Canvas and implements support for OpenGL and EGL via the WebGL API, enabling the conversion of graphical applications and games to WebAssembly (for example, there is a port of the Qt toolkit, and game engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity are supported, as well as the Bullet physics simulation engine). <\/p>\n

In addition to compiling code in C\/C++, projects for running interpreters in browsers are being developed separately, of virtual machines<\/a> for languages such as Lua, C#, Python, Ruby, and Perl. Moreover, it is possible to apply frontends to LLVM that are different from Clang, such as frontends for languages like Swift, Rust, D, and Fortran. <\/p>\n

The assignment of version number 4.0 is related to changes that break compatibility at the ABI level (rebuilding a project in Emscripten 4.0 will require rebuilding object files and libraries compiled with previous versions of Emscripten). The main changes in Emscripten 4.0 are: <\/p>\n
