I read a question on the difference between: const char* and const char[] where as for a while, I though arrays were just syntactic sugar for pointers. But something is bugging me, I have a pice of code similar to the following: namespace SomeNamespace { const char* str = { 'b', 'l', 'a', 'h' }; } I get, error: scaler object 'str' requires one element in initializer. So, I tried this: namespace SomeNamespace { const char str[] = { 'b', 'l', 'a', 'h' }; } It worked, at first I thought this may have to do with the fact that an extra operation is applied when it is a const char*, and GCC is never

How do I send binary data, e.g. mp3/mp4 data back to the frontend ? I know there are two ways of doing it: utilizing the sandbox filesystem provided by NACL and get the url at the frontend; passing the data through the PostMessage() using VarArrayBuffer . It would be great if someone could give me a simple example of how to pass the binary data through PostMessage() . There is a Pong example for NACl FileSystem API but I 'm kind of confused on how to retrieve the file location as url so that the frontend JS could get it through the message. Here is what I have done so far, using the second

Browsers have poor support of image formats. Actually only GIF, JPG, PNG and WebP are supported. I would like to had a new one : JBIG2 From the end user point of view, he will only download and install a chrome extension and his browser will be able to decode the new image format. From the web developer point of view, new format will be transparent and compatible with tag img, canvas and css. To display JBIG2 images, he still uses : <img src=“path/to/myImage.jbig2”> or var myImage = new Image(); myImage.addEventListener( 'load', function() { // insert in canvas, when image is loaded });

I have a chrome packaged app that also includes a PNaCl/NaCl C++ module, as well as some data files which the NaCl module needs to read in. However, I am not able to get it to read in the files. I set it up according to all the documentation and official examples that I could find, as well as the answer to: How to include a data file in a chrome app for a native client module to read The nacl_io demo that comes with the SDK is able to do this, but it is in C, not C++. I came up with a simple example, which I'll post below. When you press the button on the page, the NaCl module should load the

I have found a press release that states that Mono now support compilation for native client. It's unclear whether this is only available from the separate github mono fork, or as part of the standard distribution. I've built the forked mono distribution, but I have been unable to find any examples on how to build a native client executable so that I can run it in Chrome. Is anyone aware of an example project, or can you provide an example for how to build a Mono application for NaCl? I think some of the changes may have been upstreamed, but as of today (11/16/11) there are definitely bugfixes

Is it possible to run Google NaCl outside of the browser as a process sandbox? The Native Client documentation is probably a good starting point for trying to figure out how everything works. As Mark Seaborn and Bennet Yee indicate, you are probably best off looking into using sel_ldr . More details about how sel_ldr is included in " The life of sel_ldr ". I haven't personally implemented anything that uses NaCl outside of a browser, so I can't unfortunately comment on the ease of doing so. Yes. The standalone build of Native Client contains a program called "sel_ldr" which runs the NaCl
