Where should I defined emscripten extern functions in JS?

问题

Suppose I have function x in C++ defined as:

extern "C" void x();

and I implement it in JS in global context

function _x() { console.log('x called'); }

_x is defined in asm compiled js file, which is getting invoked and not my implementation. What am I doing wrong?

I'm getting this warning while linking:

warning: unresolved symbol: x

Here is the stacktrace:

回答1:

As described at Implement a C API in Javascript, you define a library by having a Javascript file that calls mergeInto to merge an object with your Javascript functions into LibraryManager.library. You then compile with the --js-library option to pass in the location of your library.

For example, you can have Javascript file with your library of a single function

// In library.js
mergeInto(LibraryManager.library, {
  x: function() {
    alert('hi');
  },
});

a main C++ file that calls this function

// in librarytest.cc
extern "C" void x();

int main()
{
  x();
  return 0;
}

and compile to HTML and Javascript with

em++ librarytest.cc --js-library library.js -o librarytest.html

then you load librarytest.html in a browser, it will show an alert box with hi.

If you want to pass a string from C++ to Javascript, you don't have to go the route of Implement a C API in Javascript. Instead, you can use the EM_ASM* macros to directly inline the Javascript. This can then call out to Javascript functions you have defined, and pass their values.

Also, to pass a string, you need to make sure you pass a C-style string, and then use the Emscripten-supplied Pointer_stringify Javascript function on the result:

#include <string>

#include <emscripten.h>

int main()
{
  std::string myString("This is a string in C++");

  EM_ASM_ARGS({
    console.log(Pointer_stringify($0));
  }, myString.c_str());

  return 0;
}
