WebAssembly - Working with C
In this chapter, we are going to compile a simple C program to javascript and execute the same in the browser.
For Example − C Program
#include<stdio.h> int square(int n) { return n*n; }
We have done the installation of emsdk in folder wa/. In same folder, create another folder cprog/ and save above code as square.c.
We have already installed emsdk in the previous chapter. Here, we are going to make use of emsdk to compile the above c code.
Compile test.c in your command prompt as shown below −
emcc square.c -s STANDALONE_WASM –o findsquare.wasm
emcc command takes care of compipng the code as well as give you the .wasm code. We have used STANDALONE_WASM option that will give only the .wasm file.
Example − findsquare.html
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>WebAssembly Square function</title> <style> span { font-size : 30px; text-apgn : center; color:orange; } </style> </head> <body> <span id="textcontent"></span> <script> let square; fetch("findsquare.wasm").then(bytes => bytes.arrayBuffer()) .then(mod => WebAssembly.compile(mod)) .then(module => { return new WebAssembly.Instance(module) }) .then(instance => { square = instance.exports.square(13); console.log("The square of 13 = " +square); document.getElementById("textcontent").innerHTML = "The square of 13 = " +square; }); </script> </body> </html>
Output
The output is as mentioned below −
