Re: [Bug 1399977] Re: cheerp.js support
Ok, thank you. Yes, to describe my problem in a single sentence, what
I'm looking for is a C/C++ compiler written in Javascript that can
generate Linux .so files, that's just enough. An alternative is to use
LLVM.js that's LLVM compiled itself using Emscripten, but it's
abandoned :-(

Title:
cheerp.js support
Status in Cheerp:
Opinion
Bug description:
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 ;-)
