This document describes changes between tagged Emscripten SDK versions.

Note that in the compiler, version numbering is used as the mechanism to invalidate internal compiler caches, so version numbers do not necessarily reflect the amount of changes between versions.

To browse or download snapshots of old tagged versions, visit https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/releases.

Not all changes are documented here. In particular, new features, user-oriented fixes, options, command-line parameters, usage changes, deprecations, significant internal modifications and optimizations etc. generally deserve a mention. To examine the full set of changes between versions, visit the link to full changeset diff at the end of each section.

See docs/process.md for how version tagging works.

Current Trunk

1.39.17: 06/05/2020

  • Use Promise polyfill for MODULARIZE when supporting legacy browsers. (#11320)
  • Fix minification of wasm2js output when using --emit-symbol-map. (#11279)
  • On first use, emscripten creates a sample config file. This config file is now created in the emscripten directory by default. The traditional ~/.emscripten config file in the $HOME directory is still supported and the sample config will still be written there in the case that the emscripten root is read-only.
  • The default location for downloaded ports is now a directory called "ports" within the cache directory. In practice these means by default they live in cache/ports inside the emscripten source directory. This can be controlled by setting the location of the cache directory, or for even more fine grained control the EM_PORTS environment variable and the PORTS config setting can be used.
  • Added support for compiling SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE 4.2 and 128-bit wide AVX intrinsics, emulated on top of Wasm SIMD instruction set. (#11193, #11243, #11290, #11327). Pass -msimd128 -msse to enable targeting SSE.
  • Removed obsolete SIMD.js support (-s SIMD=1). Use -msimd128 to target Wasm SIMD. (#11180)
  • Add warning about fastcomp deprecation (can be disabled via -Wno-fastcomp).
  • The mmap method of JavaScript filesystem drivers (based on library_fs.js) no longer takes a target memory. It's safer/cleaner/smaller to assume the target is the global memory buffer.
  • Remove emterpreter and EMTERPRETIFY settings. Emterpreter has largely been replaced by asyncify and is fastcomp only so due for removing in the near future anyway.
  • Upgrade various musl string functions to 1.2 to fix aliasing issues. (#11215)

1.39.16: 05/15/2020

  • Add Math C API for direct access to JavaScript Math object (#11151).

  • Address Sanitizer support now includes JavaScript as well, that is, memory access of HEAP* arrays is checked by ASan. That allows errors to be found if JS glue code does something wrong like forget to shift a pointer. To use this, just build with ASan normally, -fsanitize=address at link (#11147).

  • Fix embind string conversions in multithreaded builds (#10844).

  • ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH used to silently disable ABORTING_MALLOC. It now just changes the default, which means you can pass -s ABORTING_MALLOC=1 to override the default, which was not possible before. (If you pass the flag and don't want that behavior, stop passing the flag.) (#11131)

  • Change the factory function created by using the MODULARIZE build option to return a Promise instead of the module instance. That is, beforehand

      Module()

    would return an instance (which was perhaps not ready yet if startup was async). In the new model, that returns a Promise which you can do .then or await on to get notified when the instance is ready, and the callback receives the instance. Note that both before and after this change doing Module() creates and runs an instance, so the only change is the return value from that call. This fixes some long-standing bugs with that option which have been reported multiple times, but is a breaking change - sorry about that. To reduce the risk of confusing breakage, in a build with ASSERTIONS we will show a clear warning on common errors. For more, see detailed examples for the current usage in src/settings.js on MODULARIZE. (#10697)

  • A new PRINTF_LONG_DOUBLE option allows printf to print long doubles at full float128 precision. (#11130)

  • emscripten_async_queue_on_thread has been renamed to emscripten_dispatch_to_thread which no longer implies that it is async - the operation is in fact only async if it is sent to another thread, while it is sync if on the same one. A new emscripten_dispatch_to_thread_async function is added which is always async.

  • The emscripten cache now lives in a directory called cache at the root of the emscripten tree by default. The CACHE config setting and the EM_CACHE environment variable can be used to override this (#11126).

  • Honor CACHE setting in config file as an alternative to EM_CACHE environment variable.

  • Remove --cache command line arg. The CACHE config setting and the EM_CACHE environment variable can be used to control this.

  • Compiling to a file with no suffix will now generate an executable (JS) rather than an object file. This means simple cases like emcc -o foo foo.c do the expected thing and generate an executable.

  • System libraries such as libc and libc++ are now included by default at link time rather than selectively included based on the symbols used in the input object files. For small programs that don't use any system libraries this might result in slightly slower link times with the old fastcomp backend. In order to exclude these libraries build with -nostdlib and/or -nostdlib++.

1.39.15: 05/06/2020

  • Add --extern-pre-js and --extern-post-js emcc flags. Files provided there are prepended/appended to the final JavaScript output, after all other work has been done, including optimization, optional MODULARIZE-ation, instrumentation like SAFE_HEAP, etc. They are the same as prepending/ appending those files after emcc finishes running, and are just a convenient way to do that. (For comparison, --pre-js and --post-js optimize that code together with everything else, keep it in the same scope if running MODULARIZE, etc.).
  • Stop defining FE_INEXACT and other floating point exception macros in libc, since we don't support them. That also prevents musl from including code using pragmas that don't make sense for wasm. Ifdef out other uses of those pragmas as well, as tip of tree LLVM now fails to compile them on wasm. (#11087)
  • Update libcxx and libcxxabi to LLVM 10 release branch (#11038).
  • Remove BINARYEN_PASSES setting (#11057). We still have BINARYEN_EXTRA_PASSES (the removed setting completely overrides the set of passes from the command line, which doesn't make much sense as some of them are mandatory like setting the sbrk ptr).
  • Remove MODULARIZE_INSTANCE build option (#11037). This was a seldom used option that was complicating the logic for MODULARIZE. Module instances can be created by using MODULARIZE and calling the factory function explicitly. See the new --extern-post-js option added in this release, which can help code that used MODULARIZE_INSTANCE (you can add an extern post js which does Module = Module(); for example).

1.39.14: 05/01/2020

  • Update SDL2 to latest in ports, which has recently been updated to include upstream 2.0.10.
  • Add warning on use of EMTERPRETIFY which is soon to be removed.
  • Emscripten can now compile assembly files in llvm's .s/.S file format.
  • Remove test-only environment variable handling for EMCC_LEAVE_INPUTS_RAW. The two uses cases in our test code were covered by the -nostdlib option.
  • Remove untested CONFIGURE_CC. This could be used to override the underlying compiler used in emcc/em++ but only during configure tests. There are other ways to control/fake the detected configure features that don't require such monkey patching. For example setting defaults via a site file: https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.67/html_node/Site-Defaults.html
  • Remove undocumented and untested config settings: COMPILER_OPTS. This was a global setting in the emscripten config file that would inject extra compiler options.
  • Allow spaces in a path to Python interpreter when running emscripten from Unix shell (#11005).
  • Support atexit() in standalone mode (#10995). This also fixes stdio stream flushing on exit in that mode.

v1.39.13: 04/17/2020

  • Support for WebAssembly BigInt integration with a new WASM_BIGINT flag. With that the VM will use a JS BigInt for a wasm i64, avoiding the need for JS legalization. See #10860.
  • Add another value for ENVIRONMENT named 'webview' - it is a companion option for 'web' and enables some additional compatibility checks so that generated code works both in normal web and in a webview like Cordova. See #10846

v1.39.12: 04/09/2020

  • Pass linker flags directly to wasm-ld by default. We still filter out certain flags explicitly. If there are other flags that it would be useful for us to ignore we can add them to the list of ignored flags.
  • Optionally support 2GB+ heap sizes. To do this we make the JS code have unsigned pointers (we need all 32 bits in them now), which can slightly increase code size (>>> instead of >>). This only happens when the heap size may be over 2GB, which you must opt into explicitly, by setting MAXIMUM_MEMORY to a higher value (i.e. by default you do not get support for 2GB+ heaps). See #10601
  • --llvm-lto flag is now ignored when using the upstream llvm backend. With the upstream backend LTO is controlled via -flto.
  • Require format string for emscripten_log.
  • Program entry points without extensions are now shell scripts rather than python programs. See #10729. This means that python emcc no longer works. However emcc, emcc.py and python emcc.py all continue to work. The reason for this change is that #!/usr/bin/env python is no longer portable since the python symlink was dropped from Ubuntu 20.04.
  • New EM_IMPORT macro to mark C/C++ symbols as imported from outside the module (i.e. imported from JS). Currently we still default to assuming that all undefined symbols can come from JS, but in the future we hope to mark such symbols explicitly to allow the linker to report on genuinely undefined symbols.
  • Dynamic linking optimizations: Stop emitting unnecessary fp$ and g$ accessors in main modules, possible in Binaryen thanks to ensuring function table indexes are unique (#10741).
  • New JS_MATH option to use Math.* in JS instead of compiled musl (#10821).
  • Pass Module to Module callback functions like Module.preRun (#10777).
  • Support not having ports, for packagers of emscripten that don't want them (#10810).
  • Rename syscalls to have meaningful names (#10750).

v1.39.11: 03/20/2020

  • The default c++ version is no longer fixed at c++03. We now fall back to clang's default which is currently c++14.
  • Remove arc4random function form library.js. This is a BSD-only library function. Anyone requiring BSD compat should be able to use something like https://libbsd.freedesktop.org/.
  • Change the meaning of ASYNCIFY_IMPORTS: it now contains only new imports you add, and does not need to contain the list of default system imports like emscripten_sleep. There is no harm in providing them, though, so this is not a breaking change.
  • Enable DWARF support: When compiling with -g, normal DWARF emitting happens, and when linking with -g we preserve that and update it. This is a change from before, where we assumed DWARF was unneeded and did not emit it, so this can increase the size of debug builds (i.e. builds compiling and/or linking with -g). This change is necessary for full debugging support, that is, to be able to build with -g and use a debugger. Before this change only the -gforce_dwarf flag enabled DWARF; that flag is now removed. If you want the old behavior, build your object files with -gline-tables-only (that will only add line table info, which is just enough for things like source maps and does not include full debug info). For more info and background see #10325.
  • Remove hacks from memset handling, in particular, in the wasm backend, completely remove the JS version of memset from the JS library and from DEFAULT_LIBRARY_FUNCS_TO_INCLUDE. The regular C version will be linked in from compiler_rt normally. A noticeable difference you may see is that a JS library cannot add a __dep to memset - deps only work for JS library functions, but now we only have the regular C version. If you hit that issue, just add _memset to EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS (or adjust deps_info.json).
  • Minimal runtime code size optimizations, see #10725, #10724, #10663.
  • wasm2js fix for a long-existing but very rare correctness bug, see #10682.
  • Use atomics in musl lock/unlock in pthreads builds, which may fix very rare pthreads + stdio issues (none have been reported though). See #10670.

v1.39.10: 03/09/2020

  • Fix a SIMD regression in 1.39.9 (#10658).
  • Fix emscripten_atomic_exchange_u8,16,32,64 (#10657).
  • Switch bzip2 to an emscripten-ports mirror.

v1.39.9: 03/05/2020

  • Add support for -Wall, -Werror, -w, -Wno-error=, -Werror=, for controlling internal emscripten errors. The behavior of these flags matches the gcc/clang counterparts.
  • Rename TOTAL_MEMORY to INITIAL_MEMORY and WASM_MEM_MAX to MAXIMUM_MEMORY, which are more accurate and match wasm conventions. The old names are still supported as aliases.
  • Updated of libc++abi and libc++ to llvm 9.0.0 (#10510)
  • Refactor syscall interface: Syscalls are no longer variadic (except those that are inherently such as open) and no longer take the syscall number as arg0. This should be invisible to most users but will effect any external projects that try to implement/emulate the emscripten syscall interface. See #10474
  • Removed src/library_vr.js, as it was outdated and nonfunctional, and the WebVR specification has been obsoleted in favor of the upcoming WebXR specification. (#10460)
  • Deprecate WASM_OBJECT_FILES setting. There are many standard ways to enable bitcode objects (-flto, -flto=full, -flto=thin, -emit-llvm).
  • Removed EmscriptenWebGLContextAttributes::preferLowPowerToHighPerformance option that has become unsupported by WebGL. Access EmscriptenWebGLContextAttributes::powerPreference instead. (#10505)
  • When implementing forwarding function aliases in JS libraries, either the alias or the target function must contain a signature annotation. (#10550)
  • Add a check in Asyncify builds with ASSERTIONS that we do not have compiled code on the stack when starting to rewind, which is dangerous.
  • Implement libc system() for node.js (#10547).
  • Standalone mode improvements, time (#10530, #10536), sysconf (#10535), getpagesize (#10533), _Exit (#10534)
  • Fix many closure compiler warnings (e.g. #10525).
  • Avoid unnecessary syscall proxying (#10511).

v1.39.8: 02/14/2020

  • Add LLD_REPORT_UNDEFINED option that should allow for more detailed diagnostics when symbols are undefined at link time. This currently has some limitations and is not enabled by default. For example, EM_JS symbols are reported as undefined at link time, as are __invoke_* functions.
  • wasm2js optimizations. See binaryen#2623.
  • WebGPU Compute fixes. Simple examples now work. See #10367.
  • Many DWARF debug info fixes. Emitting of DWARF is correct as far as we know, including when optimizing (a few passes are disabled for now, but almost all work). We still only generate it behind the -gforce_dwarf flag for now, though (but that should be removed soon).

v1.39.7: 02/03/2020

  • The checked-in copy of the Closure compiler was removed in favor of getting it from npm. This means that developers now need to run npm install after checking out emscripten if they want to use closure (--closure). emsdk users are not effected because emsdk runs this as a post install step (#9989).
  • Added support for specifying JSDoc minification annotations for Closure in JS library, pre and post files. See https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/wiki/Annotating-JavaScript-for-the-Closure-Compiler (#10272)
  • Add new Fibers API for context switching, that supersedes the old coroutine API that only ran on fastcomp. See #9859
  • Added new linker option -s WASM=2 which produces a dual Wasm+JS build, which falls back to using a JavaScript version if WebAssembly is not supported in target browser/shell. (#10118)
  • Added new linker option -s CLOSURE_WARNINGS=quiet|warn|error that allows aborting the build if the Closure compiler produced any warnings.

v1.39.6: 01/15/2020

  • Development has switched from the "incoming" branch to "master".
  • Added new system header <emscripten/heap.h>, which enables querying information about the current WebAssembly heap state.
  • Reduced default geometric memory overgrowth rate from a very generous 2x factor to a more memory conserving +20% factor, and capped maximum reservation to 96MB at most.
  • Added options MEMORY_GROWTH_GEOMETRIC_STEP and MEMORY_GROWTH_GEOMETRIC_CAP to allow customizing the heap growth rates.
  • Renamed MEMORY_GROWTH_STEP option to MEMORY_GROWTH_LINEAR_STEP option.
  • Added new linker option -s HTML5_SUPPORT_DEFERRING_USER_SENSITIVE_REQUESTS=0 (default enabled) to allow disabling support for deferred fullscreen mode and pointer lock requests for applications that do not need deferring support.

v1.39.5: 12/20/2019

  • Added support for streaming Wasm compilation in MINIMAL_RUNTIME (off by default)
  • All ports now install their headers into a shared directory under EM_CACHE. This should not really be a user visible change although one side effect is that once a given port is built, its headers are then universally accessible, just like the library is universally available as -l<name>.
  • Removed timestamp field from mouse, wheel, devicemotion and deviceorientation events. The presence of a timestamp on these events was slightly arbitrary, and populating this field caused a small profileable overhead that all users might not care about. It is easy to get a timestamp of an event by calling emscripten_get_now() or emscripten_performance_now() inside the event handler function of any event.
  • Add fine-grained options for specific legacy browser support, MIN_FIREFOX_VERSION, MIN_SAFARI_VERSION, MIN_IE_VERSION, MIN_EDGE_VERSION, MIN_CHROME_VERSION. The existing LEGACY_VM_SUPPORT option sets all of them to 0, that is, maximal backwards compatibility. Note that going forward, we will use these settings in more places, so if you do need very old legacy browser support, you may need to set either LEGACY_VM_SUPPORT or the fine-grained options. For more details see #9937
  • Default DISABLE_DEPRECATED_FIND_EVENT_TARGET_BEHAVIOR to 1. See #9895. With this change the old deprecated HTML5 API event target lookup behavior is disabled. There is no "Module.canvas" object, no magic "null" default handling, and DOM element 'target' parameters are taken to refer to CSS selectors, instead of referring to DOM IDs. For more information see: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/emscripten-discuss/xScZ_LRIByk/_gEy67utDgAJ
  • WASI API updated from wasi_unstable to wasi_snapshot_preview1. This is mostly an implementation detail, but if you use STANDALONE_WASM it means that the output of emscripten now requires a runtime with wasi_snapshot_preview1 support.
  • SAFE_STACK has been removed, as it overlaps with STACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK. Replace SAFE_STACK=1 with STACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK=2 (note the value is 2). This also has the effect of enabling stack checking on upstream builds when ASSERTIONS are enabled (as assertions enable STACK_OVERFLOW_CHECK=2).

v1.39.4: 12/03/2019

  • Remove deprecated requestFullScreen method from library_browser.js, please use requestFullscreen (without the capital S).
  • Remove deprecated requestFullScreen and cancelFullScreen from library_glut.js
  • Remove deprecated requestFullScreen and cancelFullScreenfrom library_glfw.js
  • Fix SDL2_mixer support for ogg vorbis. See #9849
  • Various source maps fixes, see #9926 #9882 #9837 #9814

v1.39.3: 11/14/2019

v1.39.2: 11/06/2019

  • Archives with missing indexes will now have ranlib run on them automatically at link time. This avoids linker errors when using GNU ar to build archive files.
  • ERROR_ON_MISSING_LIBRARIES now also applies to internal symbols that start with emscripten_. Prior to this change such missing symbols would result in a runtime error, now they are reported at compile time.
  • Pthread blocking on the main thread will now warn in the console. If ALLOW_BLOCKING_ON_MAIN_THREAD is unset then the warning is an error.
  • Add pthread_tryjoin_np, which is a POSIX API similar to pthread_join but without blocking.
  • New function emscripten_has_asyncify().
  • Add support for pthreads in Node.js, using Node Workers. See #9745

v1.39.1: 10/30/2019

  • Only MEMFS is included by default, others (NODEFS, IDBFS, WORKERFS, PROXYFS) must be linked in explicitly, using -lnodefs.js, -lidbfs.js', -lworkerfs.js, -lproxyfs.js. See #9645

v1.39.0: 10/18/2019

  • The emsdk defaults to the upstream backend (instead of fastcomp) from this release onward (but both backends are still fully supported). See https://emscripten.org/docs/compiling/WebAssembly.html#backends
  • Add support for overriding .emscripten config variables using environment variables. Any config variable FOO can be overridden by EM_FOO in the environment.
  • -Werror now also turns warnings in the python driver code into errors.
  • Internal settings have moved from settings.js to settings_internal.js. These are settings that are for internal use only and are not set-able from the command line. If we misclassified any of these please open a bug.
  • STANDALONE_WASM mode now supports setting up argv via wasi APIs.
  • STANDALONE_WASM mode now supports running static constructors in _start.

v1.38.48: 10/11/2019

  • Add support for MAIN_THREAD_EM_ASM in wasm backend. #9560
  • Add ability to disable FETCH worker in Fastcomp backend via USE_FETCH_WORKER=0. This is useful for people who use FETCH, but don't perform any synchronous fetches on the main thread. #9567
  • Remove EMCONFIGURE_JS. Since #6269 we have set it to "2" which means never use native, always use JS.

v1.38.47: 10/02/2019

  • Add support for FETCH API in WASM backend. This doesn't support FETCH in the main thread (USE_FETCH_WORKER=0 is enforced). #9490
  • Redefine errno values to be consistent with wasi. This will let us avoid needing to convert the values back and forth as we use more wasi APIs. This is an ABI change, which should not be noticeable from user code unless you use errno defines (like EAGAIN) and keep around binaries compiled with an older version that you link against. In that case, you should rebuild them. See #9545.
  • Removed build option -s ONLY_MY_CODE as we now have much better solutions for that, like building to a wasm object file or using STANDALONE_WASM etc. (see https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/wiki/WebAssembly-Standalone).
  • Emscripten now supports the config file (.emscripten) being placed in the emscripten directory rather that the current user's home directory. See #9543

v1.38.46: 09/25/2019

  • Rename libpthreads to libpthread to match its normal name on other platforms. This change should be completely internal to emscripten.
  • Remove redundant COMPILER_ENGINE and JS_ENGINE options. We only support node as the compiler engine so just use a single NODE_JS option for that.
  • Module.abort is no longer exported by default. It can be exported in the normal way using EXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS, and as with other such changes in the past, forgetting to export it will show a clear error in ASSERTIONS mode.
  • Remove EMITTING_JS flag, and replace it with STANDALONE_WASM. That flag indicates that we want the wasm to be as standalone as possible. We may still emit JS in that case, but the JS would just be a convenient way to run the wasm on the Web or in Node.js.
  • ASYNCIFY_BLACKLIST and ASYNCIFY_WHITELIST now support simple '*' wildcard matching

v1.38.45: 09/12/2019

v1.38.44: 09/11/2019

  • Remove Binaryen from the ports system. This means that emscripten will no longer automatically build Binaryen from source. Instead, either use the emsdk (binaries are provided automatically, just like for LLVM), or build it yourself and point BINARYEN_ROOT in .emscripten to it. See #9409

v1.38.43: 08/30/2019

  • noExitRuntime is no longer a property on the Module object. Use noExitRuntime instead of Module.noExitRuntime.

v1.38.42: 08/19/2019

  • Add support for address sanitizer and standalone leak sanitizer with multiple threads. (#9060, #9076)
  • Remove ERROR_ON_MISSING_LIBRARIES setting (it's always on now)
  • Remove the ability to use Python operators in flags that support KB/MB/GB/TB suffixes, e.g. TOTAL_MEMORY. This means that -s TOTAL_MEMORY=1024*1024 will no longer work. This is done because the mechanism may result in execution of arbitrary code via command line flags.

v1.38.41: 08/07/2019

  • Remove fastcomp's implementation of Asyncify. This has been deprecated for a long time, since we added Emterpreter-Async, and now we have a new Asyncify implementation in the upstream wasm backend. It is recommended to upgrade to the upstream backend and use Asyncify there if you need it. (If you do still need the older version, you can use 1.38.40.)
  • Drop ExitStatus from inheriting from Error(), as that could capture the whole global scope, preventing temporary variables at page startup from being garbage collected. (#9108)
  • __builtin_return_address now requires -s USE_OFFSET_CONVERTER=1 to work. (#9073)
  • emrun now uses HTTP/1.1 instead of HTTP/1.0.
  • callMain is no longer exported by default on Module, to allow better JS minification. You must add it to EXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS if you want to call it on Module. (In assertions builds, an error with an explanation is shown.)
  • Allow expressions with side effects as EM_ASM's arguments and prohibit non-arithmetic arguments (e.g. pointers, functions, arrays, objects). (#9054)
  • emcc on Windows now uses native newline byte sequence to get a line to print for parse error reporting. (#9088)
  • Internal API update: one can now specialize embind's (un)marshalling for a group of types via SFINAE, instead of a single type. (#9089)
  • Options passed on the Module object during startup, like Module.arguments, are now copied to a local (in order to avoid writing Module.* everywhere, which wastes space). You can still provide them as always, but you can't modify Module.arguments and other things after startup (which is now after we've finished processing them). In a build with assertions enabled you will get an error if you access those properties after startup. (#9072)

v1.38.40: 07/24/2019

  • LLVM backend pthread builds no longer use external memory initialization files, replacing them with passive data segments.
  • LLVM backend now supports thread local storage via the C extension __thread and the C11/C++11 keyword thread_local. (#8976)
  • Internal API change: Move read, readAsync, readBinary, setWindowTitle from the Module object to normal JS variables. If you use those internal APIs, you must change Module.readAsync()/Module['readAsync']() to readAsync(). Note that read is also renamed to read_ (since "read" is an API call in the SpiderMonkey shell). In builds with ASSERTIONS, an error message is shown about the API change. This change allows better JS minification (the names read, readAsync etc. can be minified, and if the variables are not used they can be removed entirely). Defining these APIs on Module (which was never documented or intended, but happened to work) is also no longer allowed (but you can override read_ etc. from JS).

v1.38.39: 07/16/2019

  • Add support for address sanitizer. (#8884)
    • Currently, only supports one thread without dynamic linking.
  • Rename Bysyncify (the name used during development) to Asyncify. This keeps the name consistent with the old ASYNCIFY flag, no need for a new one, as they basically do the same thing.

v1.38.38: 07/08/2019

v1.38.37: 06/26/2019

  • Set ENV['LANG'] following the user's preferred language (HTTP Accept-Language / navigator.languages[0])
  • emscripten_run_script_string now returns C NULL instead of the string null or undefined when the result of the eval is JavaScript null or undefined.
  • Add a new system for managing system libraries. (#8780) This may require minor changes when performing certain operations:
    • When using embuilder.py to build a specific library, the name may have changed: for consistency, all library names are prefixed with lib now.
    • embuilder.py now only builds the requested library, and not its dependencies and certain system libraries that are always built. For example, running embuilder.py build libc no longer builds libcompiler_rt if it hasn't be built.
    • When using EMCC_FORCE_STDLIBS with a list of libraries, you must now use the simplified names, for example, libmalloc and libpthreads instead of libdlmalloc or libpthreads_stub. These names will link in the correct version of the library: if the build is configured to use emmalloc, libmalloc will mean libemmalloc, and if thread support is disabled, libpthreads will mean libpthreads_stub. This allows you to say libmalloc or libpthreads without worrying about which implementation is supposed to be used, and avoid duplicate symbols if you used the wrong implementation.
  • LLVM wasm backend pthreads fixes, see #8811, #8718

v1.38.36: 06/15/2019

v1.38.35: 06/13/2019

  • Include some waterfall fixes for the emsdk builds on linux regarding libtinfo.
  • NOTE: due to a CI failure, builds for mac and windows were not generated.

v1.38.34: 06/01/2019

  • Add support for undefined behavior sanitizer.
    • This allows emcc -fsanitize=undefined to work. (#8651)
    • The minimal runtime (-fsanitize-minimal-runtime) also works. (#8617)

v1.38.33: 05/23/2019

v1.38.32: SKIPPED

  • The transition from the old to the new CI occurred around here. To avoid ambiguity while both CIs were still generating builds, we just tagged a new one (1.38.33) on the new CI and skipped 1.38.32.
  • The transition also moves all builds and downloads away from the old mozilla-games infrastructure to the new chromium ones. As a result all links to mozilla-games URLs will not work (these were never documented, but could be seen from the internals of the emsdk; the new emsdk uses the proper new URLs, so you can either use the sdk normally or find the URLs from there).

v1.38.31: 04/24/2019

  • Change ino_t/off_t to 64-bits. (#8467)
  • Add port for bzip2 library (libbz2.a). (#8349)
  • Add port for libjpeg library. (#8361)
  • Enable ERROR_ON_MISSING_LIBRARIES by default (#8461)

v1.38.30: 03/21/2019

  • Remove Module.buffer which was exported by default unnecessarily. This was an undocumented internal detail, but in theory, code may have relied on it. (#8277)

v1.38.29: 03/11/2019

v1.38.28: 02/22/2019

  • Option -s EMTERPRETIFY_WHITELIST now accepts shell-style wildcards; this allows matching static functions with conflicting names that the linker distinguishes by appending a random suffix.
  • Normalize mouse wheel delta in library_browser.js. This changes the scroll amount in SDL, GLFW, and GLUT. (#7968)

v1.38.27: 02/10/2019

  • Change how EMCC_LOCAL_PORTS works, to be more usable. See #7963
  • Remove deprecated Pointer_stringify (use UTF8ToString instead). See #8011
  • Added a new option -s DISABLE_DEPRECATED_FIND_EVENT_TARGET_BEHAVIOR=1 that changes the lookup semantics of DOM elements in html5.h event handler callbacks and WebGL context creation. The new behavior is to use CSS selector strings to look up DOM elements over the old behavior, which was somewhat ad hoc constructed rules around default Emscripten uses. The old behavior will be deprecated and removed in the future. Build with -s ASSERTIONS=1 to get diagnostics messages related to this transition.
  • Breaking change with -s USE_PTHREADS=1 + -s FETCH=1: When building with -o a.html, the generated worker script is now named "a.fetch.js" according to the base name of the specified output, instead of having a fixed name "fetch-worker.js".

v1.38.26: 02/04/2019

  • Fix some pthreads proxying deadlocks. See #7865

v1.38.25: 01/18/2019

  • Move kripken/emscripten,emscripten-fastcomp,emscripten-fastcomp-clang to emscripten-core/*

v1.38.24: 01/17/2019

  • Perform JS static allocations at compile time (#7850)

v1.38.23: 01/10/2019

  • Remove BINARYEN_METHOD: no more support for interpret modes, and if you want non-wasm, use WASM=0.
  • Support specifying multiple possible ENVIRONMENTs (#7809)

v1.38.22: 01/08/2019

  • Add Regal port. See #7674
  • System libraries have been renamed to include the lib prefix. If you use EMCC_FORCE_STDLIBS or EMCC_ONLY_FORCED_STDLIBS to select system libraries you may need to add the lib prefix.
  • Rename pthread-main.js to NAME.worker.js, where NAME is the main name of your application, that is, if you emit program.js then you'll get program.worker.js (this allows more than one to exist in the same directory, etc.).
  • Dynamic linker has been taught to handle library -> library dependencies.

v1.38.21: 11/30/2018

  • fastcomp: Remove runPostSets function and replace with normal static constructor function. See #7579

v1.38.20: 11/20/2018

  • Remove SPLIT_MEMORY option.
  • Move getTempRet0/setTempRet0 to be JS library functions rather than auto-generated by fastcomp.
  • Change strptime()'s handling of the "%c" to match that of strftime(). This is a breaking change for code which depends on the old definition of "%c".

v1.38.19: 11/15/2018

v1.38.18: 11/08/2018

  • Wasm dynamic linking: Rename tableBase/memoryBase to __table_base/__memory_base (#7467)

v1.38.17: 11/07/2018

  • Minify wasm import and export names. This decreases JS and wasm size by minifying the identifiers where JS calls into wasm or vice versa, which are not minifiable by closure or other JS-only tools. This happens in -O3, -Os and above. See #7431

v1.38.16: 11/02/2018

  • Breaking change: Do not automatically set EXPORT_ALL for MAIN_MODULES or SIDE_MODULES. This means that you must explicitly export things that will be called from outside (normally, on EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS), or you can manually enable EXPORT_ALL yourself (which returns to the exact same behavior as before). This change brings us in line with more standard dynamic linking, and will match what the LLVM wasm backend will have. See #7312.
  • Invalid -s flags on the command line are now treated as errors.
  • Remove BUILD_AS_SHARED_LIBRARY setting.

v1.38.15: 10/25/2018

v1.38.14: 10/22/2018

  • Errors are now reported when functions listed in EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS are not defined. This can be disabled via ERROR_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS=0. See #7311.

v1.38.13: 10/10/2018

  • Support -s NO_X=1 as an alias for -s X=0 and vice versa, which simplifies current settings with NO_-prefixed names. See #7151.
  • Various EMULATED_FUNCTION_POINTER improvements. See #7108, #7128.
  • ERROR_ON_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS is now the default. See #7196

v1.38.12: 09/03/2018

  • Update SDL2 to 2.0.7. See #7016.
  • Optionally build using native object files (wasm backend only). For now this is behind a new option flag: -s WASM_OBJECT_FILES=1. See #6875.

v1.38.11: 08/02/2018

  • Support for loading wasm files in the same dir as the JS file, using node.js/Web-specific techniques as applicable. See #5368 and followups.
  • Add an API for async side module compilation in wasm. See #6663.
  • Remove builtin Crunch support. See #6827.

v1.38.10: 07/23/2018

  • Change the type of size_t and friends from int to long. This may have noticeable effects if you depend on the name mangling of a function that uses size_t (like in EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS), and you must rebuild source files to bitcode (so your bitcode is in sync with the system libraries after they are rebuilt with this change). Otherwise this should not have any noticeable effects for users. See #5916.

v1.38.9: 07/22/2018

  • Fix Module.locateFile to resolve relative paths to *.wasm, *.mem and other files relatively to the main JavaScript file rather than the current working directory (see #5368).
    • Add second argument prefix to Module.locateFile function that contains the path to the JavaScript file where files are loaded from by default.
    • Remove Module.*PrefixURL APIs (use Module.locateFile instead).

v1.38.8: 07/06/2018

  • Fix a regression in 1.38.7 with binaryen no longer bundling binaryen.js (which emscripten doesn't need, that's just for handwritten JS users, but emscripten did check for its presence).

v1.38.7: 07/06/2018

  • Correctness fix for stack handling in invoke_*()s. This may add noticeable overhead to programs using C++ exceptions and (less likely) setjmp/longjmp - please report any issues. See #6666 #6702
  • Deprecate Module.ENVIRONMENT: Now that we have a compile-time option to set the environment, also having a runtime one on Module is complexity that we are better off without. When Module.ENVIRONMENT is used with ASSERTIONS it will show an error to direct users to the new option (-s ENVIRONMENT=web , or node, etc., at compile time).
  • Breaking change: Do not export print/printErr by default. Similar to other similar changes (like getValue/setValue). We now use out() and err() functions in JS to print to stdout/stderr respectively. See #6756.

v1.38.6: 06/13/2018

v1.38.5: 06/04/2018

  • Update libc++ to 6.0, bringing c++17 support (std::byte etc.)

v1.38.4: 05/29/2018

  • Fix asm.js validation regression from 1.38.2.

v1.38.3: 05/25/2018

  • Upgrade to LLVM 6.0.1.

v1.38.2: 05/25/2018

  • Add ENVIRONMENT option to specify at compile time we only need JS to support one runtime environment (e.g., just the web). When emitting HTML, set that to web so we emit web code only. #6565
  • Regression in asm.js validation due to cttz optimization #6547

v1.38.1: 05/17/2018

  • Remove special-case support for src/struct_info.compiled.json: Make it a normal cached thing like system libraries, not something checked into the source tree.
  • Breaking change: Emit WebAssembly by default. Only the default is changed - we of course still support asm.js, and will for a very long time. But changing the default makes sense as the recommended output for most use cases should be WebAssembly, given it has shipped in all major browsers and platforms and is more efficient than asm.js. Build with -s WASM=0 to disable wasm and use asm.js if you want that (or use -s LEGACY_VM_SUPPORT=1, which emits output that can run in older browsers, which includes a bunch of polyfills as well as disables wasm). (#6419)

v1.38.0: 05/09/2018

v1.37.40: 05/07/2018

  • Fix regression in 1.37.39 on -s X=@file parsing (see #6497, #6436)

v1.37.39: 05/01/2018

  • Regression: Parsing of -s X=@file broke if the file contains a newline (see #6436; fixed in 1.37.40)

v1.37.38: 04/23/2018

  • Breaking change: Simplify exception handling, disabling it by default. Previously it was disabled by default in -O1 and above and enabled in -O0, which could be confusing. You may notice this change if you need exceptions and only run in -O0 (since if you test in -O1 or above, you'd see you need to enable exceptions manually), in which case you will receive an error at runtime saying that exceptions are disabled by default and that you should build with -s DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=0 to enable them.
  • Fix regression in 1.37.37 on configure scripts on MacOS (see #6456)

v1.37.37: 04/13/2018

  • Regression: configure scripts on MacOS may be broken (see #6456; fixed in 1.37.38)

v1.37.36: 03/13/2018

v1.37.35: 02/23/2018

  • MALLOC option, allowing picking between dlmalloc (previous allocator and still the default) and emmalloc, a new allocator which is smaller and simpler.
  • Binaryen update that should fix all known determinism bugs.

v1.37.34: 02/16/2018

  • addFunction is now supported on LLVM wasm backend, but when being used on the wasm backend, you need to provide an additional second argument, a Wasm function signature string. Each character within a signature string represents a type. The first character represents the return type of a function, and remaining characters are for parameter types.
    • 'v': void type
    • 'i': 32-bit integer type
    • 'j': 64-bit integer type (currently does not exist in JavaScript)
    • 'f': 32-bit float type
    • 'd': 64-bit float type For asm.js and asm2wasm you can provide the optional second argument, but it isn't needed. For that reason this isn't a breaking change, however, providing the second argument is recommended so that code is portable across all backends and modes.

v1.37.33: 02/02/2018

v1.37.32: 01/31/2018

v1.37.31: 01/31/2018

  • LLVM and clang updates from upstream (5.0svn, close 5.0 release).

v1.37.30: 01/31/2018

v1.37.29: 01/24/2018

v1.37.28: 01/08/2018

  • Breaking change: Don't export the ALLOC_* numeric constants by default. As with previous changes, a warning will be shown in -O0 and when ASSERTIONS are on if they are used.
  • Breaking change: Don't export FS methods by default. As with previous changes, a warning will be shown in -O0 and when ASSERTIONS are on, which will suggest either exporting the specific methods you need, or using FORCE_FILESYSTEM which will auto export all the main filesystem methods. Aside from using FS methods yourself, you may notice this change when using a file package created standalone, that is, by running the file packager directly and then loading it at run time (as opposed to telling emcc to package the files for you, in which case it would be aware of them at compile time); you should build with FORCE_FILESYSTEM to ensure filesystem support for that case.

v1.37.27: 12/24/2017

  • Breaking change: Remove the Runtime object, and move all the useful methods from it to simple top-level functions. Any usage of Runtime.func should be changed to func.

v1.37.26: 12/20/2017

  • Breaking change: Change NO_EXIT_RUNTIME to 1 by default. This means that by default we don't include code to shut down the runtime, flush stdio streams, run atexits, etc., which is better for code size. When ASSERTIONS is on, we warn at runtime if there is text buffered in the streams that should be flushed, or atexits are used.
  • Meta-DCE for JS+wasm: remove unused code between JS+wasm more aggressively. This should not break valid code, but may break code that depended on unused code being kept around (like using a function from outside the emitted JS without exporting it - only exported things are guaranteed to be kept alive through optimization).

v1.37.24: 12/13/2017

  • Breaking change: Similar to the getValue/setValue change from before (and with the same ASSERTIONS warnings to help users), do not export the following runtime methods by default: ccall, cwrap, allocate, Pointer_stringify, AsciiToString, stringToAscii, UTF8ArrayToString, UTF8ToString, stringToUTF8Array, stringToUTF8, lengthBytesUTF8, stackTrace, addOnPreRun, addOnInit, addOnPreMain, addOnExit, addOnPostRun, intArrayFromString, intArrayToString, writeStringToMemory, writeArrayToMemory, writeAsciiToMemory.

v1.37.23: 12/4/2017

  • Breaking change: Do not polyfill Math.{clz32, fround, imul, trunc} by default. A new LEGACY_VM_SUPPORT option enables support for legacy browsers. In ASSERTIONS mode, a warning is shown if a polyfill was needed, suggesting using that option.
  • Breaking change: Do not export getValue/setValue runtime methods by default. You can still use them by calling them directly in code optimized with the main file (pre-js, post-js, js libraries; if the optimizer sees they are used, it preserves them), but if you try to use them on Module then you must export them by adding them to EXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS. In -O0 or when ASSERTIONS is on, a run-time error message explains that, if they are attempted to be used incorrectly.

v1.37.17: 7/25/2017

  • Updated to libc++'s "v2" ABI, which provides better alignment for string data and other improvements. This is an ABI-incompatible change, so bitcode files from previous versions will not be compatible.

v1.37.13: 5/26/2017

  • Improved Android support for emrun.
  • Duplicate function elimination fixes (#5186)
