This project was created to deal with the creation of an interpreter in more detail and to use WebAssembly for the first time.
I have documented and described the development of the project in detail on the following article on Medium.
Have fun reading through and coding!
- Install Visual Studio Code
- Install the C++ extension for VS Code
- Install the Clang-Format extension for VS Code
- Install Clang and ensure it is installed
clang --version - Get the Emscripten SDK
- In the root directory set the CMAKE Toolchain file by running:
CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/**/Emscripten.cmakeEnsure you update your path with the location of your emsdk installation location
- Download the submodules with
git submodule update --init - Create the build folder with
mkdir build - Navigate to the build folder with
cd build - Run
emcmake cmake ..andmake - Start the localhost in the root folder with
yarn http
Use of ClangFormat. The style options are defined in the .clang-format file. For more details have a look at the official Style Options.
The Emscripten Compiler Frontend (em++ für C++) is used to call the Emscripten compiler from the command line. For more details about the arguments look at the official Emscripten Compiler Frontend Reference
