Description-en: LLVM-to-JavaScript Compiler
Emscripten is an LLVM to JavaScript compiler. It takes LLVM bitcode, also
called LLVM IR (which can be generated from C/C++ using Clang, or any other
language that can be converted into LLVM bitcode) and compiles that into
JavaScript, which can be run on the web (or anywhere else JavaScript can run).
.
Using Emscripten, you can
* Compile C and C++ code into JavaScript and run that on the web
* Run code in languages like Python as well, by compiling CPython from C
to JavaScript and interpreting code in that on the web
.
Some uses of emscripten require additional packages:
* setting WASM2C requires wabt.
* emcmake requires cmake.
* emconfigure may require automake.
* emmake requires make.
* emrun option --android requires adb.
* emscons requires scons.
* WebIDL Binder requires python3-ply.
