[Bug 1399977] [NEW] Node.js support

 

Public bug reported:

I would like that cheerp could be used as a C/C++ compiler running on
top of Node.js, so it could be used on NodeOS to compile native modules.
This has some implications:

* cheerp itself compiled to Javascript
* command line Node.js executable
* C support
* generate native code (not only Javascript)
* detect when to generate native code. Node.js modules can be crafted for performance issues, but another usage is to access to low level libraries or system resources like syscalls. This last ones need native code to be generated with no other alternative

Disclaimer: I'm the lead developer of NodeOS ;-)

** Affects: cheerp
     Importance: Undecided
