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.

2.0.24

  • 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, via make install for example) will install resources into the sysroot such that they can later be found and used by find_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 using CMAKE_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).

2.0.23

  • libcxxabi updated to llvm-12. (#14288)
  • libcxx updated to llvm-12. (#14249)
  • compiler-rt updated to llvm-12. (#14280)

2.0.22 - 05/25/2021

  • 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.

2.0.21: 05/18/2021

  • 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 performes 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 and system now fail with the errno value ENOSYS (52) rather than EAGAIN (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 set Module.locateFile hook and Module.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 custom EXPORT_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)

2.0.20: 05/04/2021

  • 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.

2.0.19: 05/04/2021

  • 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 via RUNTIME_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.

2.0.18: 04/23/2021

  • 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 using EXPORTED_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 of MAIN_MODULE=2 it should no longer be necessary to list explicit EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS. Also, users of MAIN_MODULE=1 with dynamic linking (not dlopen) who list all side modules on the command line, should be able to switch to MAIN_MODULE=2 and get a reduction in code size.
  • When building with MAIN_MODULE it is now possbile 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 possbile to enable ERROR_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS along with MAIN_MODULE.

2.0.17: 04/10/2021

  • 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):
    1. Linking with -llibc rather than -lc will no longer work.
    2. Linking a library called foo.a via -lfoo will no longer work. (libraries found via -l have to start with lib)
  • 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.

2.0.16: 03/25/2021

  • 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 the EXCEPTION_CATCHING_ALLOWED list. This makes DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING a simple binary option (0 or 1) which defaults to 0 which will be set to 1 internally if EXCEPTION_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 to main.

2.0.15: 03/05/2021

  • Calls to newlocale (and new 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).

2.0.14: 02/14/2021

  • Add new setting: REVERSE_DEPS. This can be used to control how emscripten decides which reverse dependecies to include. See settings.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 the EMCC_ONLY_FORCED_STDLIBS environment variable which (among other things) essentially had the effect of setting REVERSE_DEPS to be 'all'.
  • Clang now performs loop unrolling when targeting WebAssembly at -O2 and higher. It can be disabled using -fno-unroll-loops.

2.0.13: 01/19/2021

  • Remove unused Browser.safeSetInterval and Browser.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 with TTF_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 when MAIN_MODULE=1 is set) should be effected.

2.0.12: 01/09/2021

  • 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 that Release will use -O3 instead of -O2 (which is a better choice anyhow). (#13083)

2.0.11: 12/17/2020

  • 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 setting EMCC_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).

2.0.10: 12/04/2020

  • 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 for wasmMemory or INITIAL_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)

2.0.9: 11/16/2020

  • 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 for SDL2_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.

2.0.8: 10/24/2020

  • -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 of emrun arguments. e.g: emrun filename.html -- --arg-for-page This is standard behaviour for command line parsing and simplifies the emrun logic.

2.0.7: 10/13/2020

  • 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 than emcc. 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)

2.0.6: 10/02/2020

  • Add new COMPILER_WRAPPER settings (with corresponding EM_COMPILER_WRAPPER environment variable. This replaces the existing EMMAKEN_COMPILER environment variable which is deprecated, but still works for the time being. The main differences is that EM_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.

2.0.5: 09/28/2020

  • 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 in sys/random.h, and use that from libc++'s random_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)

2.0.4: 09/16/2020

  • First release with Bazel support.
  • Stop including malloc and free 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 in wasm-emscripten-finalize or wasm-opt after linking. This can verify the link is maximally fast and also does no DWARF rewriting. (#12173)

2.0.3: 09/10/2020

  • Breaking changes to calling Wasm function pointers from JavaScript:

    1. 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 deprecate dynamicAlloc. (#12057, which also removes the internal DYNAMICTOP_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 called foo.o. This might surprise some users (although it matches the behavior of existing toolchains) so we now produce a warning in this case.

2.0.2: 09/02/2020

  • 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 in STANDALONE_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 of EXPORTED_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 use ASYNCIFY_ADD or ASYNCIFY_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)

2.0.1: 08/21/2020

  • Change the default value of STACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK in builds with ASSERTIONS from 2 to 1. This means that plain debug builds (-O0, which enables ASSERTIONS) 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 have ALLOW_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 any K > 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 just K.

2.0.0: 08/10/2020

  • 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)

1.40.1: 08/01/2020

  • 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.

1.40.0: 07/30/2020

  • 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 using EM_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.

1.39.20: 07/20/2020

  • Remove the --save-bc command line option. This was specific to fastcomp, which is deprecated, and for debugging purposes we already have EMCC_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 to emscripten/em_math.h because if a user adds emscripten/ as an include path with -I, that can override libc math.h, which leads to very confusing errors.

1.39.19: 07/07/2020

  • In standalone mode make main mandatory by default (#11536). To build a library ("reactor"), use --no-entry. The compiler will suggest that if main 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 to EXCEPTION_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 called ASYNCIFY_BLACKLIST), and ASYNCIFY_ONLY to set a list of the only functions to instrument and no others (previously this was called ASYNCIFY_WHITELIST). The updated lists also handle indirect calls properly, so that if you use ASYNCIFY_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).

1.39.18: 06/12/2020

  • Disable LIBCXX_ABI_OPTIMIZED_FUNCTION which is an ABI change in libc++ (changing the layout of the std::function object) (#11403).
  • New WASM2C option that integrates with wabt's wasm2c tool in order to compile everything into a single C file (#11213).

1.39.17: 06/05/2020

  • 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 the EM_PORTS environment variable and the PORTS 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)

1.39.16: 05/15/2020

  • 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 disable ABORTING_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, beforehand

      Module()

    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 or await on to get notified when the instance is ready, and the callback receives the instance. Note that both before and after this change doing Module() 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 with ASSERTIONS we will show a clear warning on common errors. For more, see detailed examples for the current usage in src/settings.js on MODULARIZE. (#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 to emscripten_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 new emscripten_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. The CACHE config setting and the EM_CACHE environment variable can be used to override this (#11126).

  • Honor CACHE setting in config file as an alternative to EM_CACHE environment variable.

  • Remove --cache command line arg. The CACHE config setting and the EM_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++.

1.39.15: 05/06/2020

  • 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, optional MODULARIZE-ation, instrumentation like SAFE_HEAP, etc. They are the same as prepending/ appending those files after emcc 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 running MODULARIZE, 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 have BINARYEN_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 for MODULARIZE. Module instances can be created by using MODULARIZE and calling the factory function explicitly. See the new --extern-post-js option added in this release, which can help code that used MODULARIZE_INSTANCE (you can add an extern post js which does Module = Module(); for example).

1.39.14: 05/01/2020

  • 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.

v1.39.13: 04/17/2020

  • 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

v1.39.12: 04/09/2020

  • 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. However emcc, emcc.py and python 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$ and g$ accessors in main modules, possible in Binaryen thanks to ensuring function table indexes are unique (#10741).
  • New JS_MATH option to use Math.* in JS instead of compiled musl (#10821).
  • Pass Module to Module callback functions like Module.preRun (#10777).
  • Support not having ports, for packagers of emscripten that don't want them (#10810).
  • Rename syscalls to have meaningful names (#10750).

v1.39.11: 03/20/2020

  • 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 like emscripten_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 from DEFAULT_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 to memset - deps only work for JS library functions, but now we only have the regular C version. If you hit that issue, just add _memset to EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS (or adjust deps_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.

v1.39.10: 03/09/2020

  • 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.

v1.39.9: 03/05/2020

  • 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 to INITIAL_MEMORY and WASM_MEM_MAX to MAXIMUM_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)

v1.39.8: 02/14/2020

  • 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).

v1.39.7: 02/03/2020

  • 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.

v1.39.6: 01/15/2020

  • 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.

v1.39.5: 12/20/2019

  • 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 a timestamp 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 calling emscripten_get_now() or emscripten_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 existing LEGACY_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 either LEGACY_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 to wasi_snapshot_preview1. This is mostly an implementation detail, but if you use STANDALONE_WASM it means that the output of emscripten now requires a runtime with wasi_snapshot_preview1 support.
  • SAFE_STACK has been removed, as it overlaps with STACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK. Replace SAFE_STACK=1 with STACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK=2 (note the value is 2). This also has the effect of enabling stack checking on upstream builds when ASSERTIONS are enabled (as assertions enable STACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK=2).

v1.39.4: 12/03/2019

  • Remove deprecated requestFullScreen method from library_browser.js, please use requestFullscreen (without the capital S).
  • Remove deprecated requestFullScreen and cancelFullScreen from library_glut.js
  • Remove deprecated requestFullScreen and cancelFullScreenfrom library_glfw.js
  • Fix SDL2_mixer support for ogg vorbis. See #9849
  • Various source maps fixes, see #9926 #9882 #9837 #9814

v1.39.3: 11/14/2019

v1.39.2: 11/06/2019

  • 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 with emscripten_. 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 to pthread_join but without blocking.
  • New function emscripten_has_asyncify().
  • Add support for pthreads in Node.js, using Node Workers. See #9745

v1.39.1: 10/30/2019

  • 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

v1.39.0: 10/18/2019

  • 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 variable FOO can be overridden by EM_FOO in the environment.
  • -Werror now also turns warnings in the python driver code into errors.
  • Internal settings have moved from settings.js to settings_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.

v1.38.48: 10/11/2019

  • 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.

v1.38.47: 10/02/2019

  • 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 using STANDALONE_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

v1.38.46: 09/25/2019

  • Rename libpthreads to libpthread to match its normal name on other platforms. This change should be completely internal to emscripten.
  • Remove redundant COMPILER_ENGINE and JS_ENGINE options. We only support node as the compiler engine so just use a single NODE_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 in ASSERTIONS mode.
  • Remove EMITTING_JS flag, and replace it with STANDALONE_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 and ASYNCIFY_WHITELIST now support simple '*' wildcard matching

v1.38.45: 09/12/2019

v1.38.44: 09/11/2019

  • 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

v1.38.43: 08/30/2019

  • noExitRuntime is no longer a property on the Module object. Use noExitRuntime instead of Module.noExitRuntime.

v1.38.42: 08/19/2019

  • 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.

v1.38.41: 08/07/2019

  • 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 to EXTRA_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, like Module.arguments, are now copied to a local (in order to avoid writing Module.* everywhere, which wastes space). You can still provide them as always, but you can't modify Module.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)

v1.38.40: 07/24/2019

  • 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 keyword thread_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']() to readAsync(). Note that read is also renamed to read_ (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 override read_ etc. from JS).

v1.38.39: 07/16/2019

  • 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.

v1.38.38: 07/08/2019

v1.38.37: 06/26/2019

  • Set ENV['LANG'] following the user's preferred language (HTTP Accept-Language / navigator.languages[0])
  • emscripten_run_script_string now returns C NULL instead of the string null or undefined when the result of the eval is JavaScript null or undefined.
  • 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, running embuilder.py build libc no longer builds libcompiler_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 and libpthreads instead of libdlmalloc or libpthreads_stub. These names will link in the correct version of the library: if the build is configured to use emmalloc, libmalloc will mean libemmalloc, and if thread support is disabled, libpthreads will mean libpthreads_stub. This allows you to say libmalloc or libpthreads without worrying about which implementation is supposed to be used, and avoid duplicate symbols if you used the wrong implementation.
  • LLVM wasm backend pthreads fixes, see #8811, #8718

v1.38.36: 06/15/2019

v1.38.35: 06/13/2019

  • 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.

v1.38.34: 06/01/2019

  • Add support for undefined behavior sanitizer.
    • This allows emcc -fsanitize=undefined to work. (#8651)
    • The minimal runtime (-fsanitize-minimal-runtime) also works. (#8617)

v1.38.33: 05/23/2019

v1.38.32: SKIPPED

  • 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).

v1.38.31: 04/24/2019

  • 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)

v1.38.30: 03/21/2019

  • 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)

v1.38.29: 03/11/2019

v1.38.28: 02/22/2019

  • 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)

v1.38.27: 02/10/2019

  • 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".

v1.38.26: 02/04/2019

  • Fix some pthreads proxying deadlocks. See #7865

v1.38.25: 01/18/2019

  • Move kripken/emscripten,emscripten-fastcomp,emscripten-fastcomp-clang to emscripten-core/*

v1.38.24: 01/17/2019

  • Perform JS static allocations at compile time (#7850)

v1.38.23: 01/10/2019

  • Remove BINARYEN_METHOD: no more support for interpret modes, and if you want non-wasm, use WASM=0.
  • Support specifying multiple possible ENVIRONMENTs (#7809)

v1.38.22: 01/08/2019

  • Add Regal port. See #7674
  • System libraries have been renamed to include the lib prefix. If you use EMCC_FORCE_STDLIBS or EMCC_ONLY_FORCED_STDLIBS to select system libraries you may need to add the lib prefix.
  • Rename pthread-main.js to NAME.worker.js, where NAME is the main name of your application, that is, if you emit program.js then you'll get program.worker.js (this allows more than one to exist in the same directory, etc.).
  • Dynamic linker has been taught to handle library -> library dependencies.

v1.38.21: 11/30/2018

  • fastcomp: Remove runPostSets function and replace with normal static constructor function. See #7579

v1.38.20: 11/20/2018

  • 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 of strftime(). This is a breaking change for code which depends on the old definition of "%c".

v1.38.19: 11/15/2018

v1.38.18: 11/08/2018

  • Wasm dynamic linking: Rename tableBase/memoryBase to __table_base/__memory_base (#7467)

v1.38.17: 11/07/2018

  • 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

v1.38.16: 11/02/2018

  • 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.

v1.38.15: 10/25/2018

v1.38.14: 10/22/2018

  • 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.

v1.38.13: 10/10/2018

  • Support -s NO_X=1 as an alias for -s X=0 and vice versa, which simplifies current settings with NO_-prefixed names. See #7151.
  • Various EMULATED_FUNCTION_POINTER improvements. See #7108, #7128.
  • ERROR_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS is now the default. See #7196

v1.38.12: 09/03/2018

  • 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.

v1.38.11: 08/02/2018

  • 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.

v1.38.10: 07/23/2018

  • 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 uses size_t (like in EXPORTED_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.

v1.38.9: 07/22/2018

  • 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 to Module.locateFile function that contains the path to the JavaScript file where files are loaded from by default.
    • Remove Module.*PrefixURL APIs (use Module.locateFile instead).

v1.38.8: 07/06/2018

  • 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).

v1.38.7: 07/06/2018

  • 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.

v1.38.6: 06/13/2018

v1.38.5: 06/04/2018

  • Update libc++ to 6.0, bringing c++17 support (std::byte etc.)

v1.38.4: 05/29/2018

  • Fix asm.js validation regression from 1.38.2.

v1.38.3: 05/25/2018

  • Upgrade to LLVM 6.0.1.

v1.38.2: 05/25/2018

  • 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

v1.38.1: 05/17/2018

  • 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)

v1.38.0: 05/09/2018

v1.37.40: 05/07/2018

  • Fix regression in 1.37.39 on -s X=@file parsing (see #6497, #6436)

v1.37.39: 05/01/2018

  • Regression: Parsing of -s X=@file broke if the file contains a newline (see #6436; fixed in 1.37.40)

v1.37.38: 04/23/2018

  • 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)

v1.37.37: 04/13/2018

  • Regression: configure scripts on MacOS may be broken (see #6456; fixed in 1.37.38)

v1.37.36: 03/13/2018

v1.37.35: 02/23/2018

  • 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.

v1.37.34: 02/16/2018

  • 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.

v1.37.33: 02/02/2018

v1.37.32: 01/31/2018

v1.37.31: 01/31/2018

  • LLVM and clang updates from upstream (5.0svn, close 5.0 release).

v1.37.30: 01/31/2018

v1.37.29: 01/24/2018

v1.37.28: 01/08/2018

  • Breaking change: Don't export the ALLOC_* numeric constants by default. As with previous changes, a warning will be shown in -O0 and when ASSERTIONS 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 when ASSERTIONS are on, which will suggest either exporting the specific methods you need, or using FORCE_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 telling emcc to package the files for you, in which case it would be aware of them at compile time); you should build with FORCE_FILESYSTEM to ensure filesystem support for that case.

v1.37.27: 12/24/2017

  • Breaking change: Remove the Runtime object, and move all the useful methods from it to simple top-level functions. Any usage of Runtime.func should be changed to func.

v1.37.26: 12/20/2017

  • 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. When ASSERTIONS 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).

v1.37.24: 12/13/2017

  • 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.

v1.37.23: 12/4/2017

  • Breaking change: Do not polyfill Math.{clz32, fround, imul, trunc} by default. A new LEGACY_VM_SUPPORT option enables support for legacy browsers. In ASSERTIONS 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 to EXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS. In -O0 or when ASSERTIONS is on, a run-time error message explains that, if they are attempted to be used incorrectly.

v1.37.17: 7/25/2017

  • 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.

v1.37.13: 5/26/2017

  • Improved Android support for emrun.
  • Duplicate function elimination fixes (#5186)
  • Fix problem with embinding derived classes (#5193)
