Is it possible to build from .s textual assembly?

[trueinsider]

Mono Full AOT support building .s through LLVM. Is to possible to use this so I can build .js from C#?

emcc can accept LLVM IR in either binary or text format. It expects a familiar extension, though, so e.g. emcc a.ll for LLVM IR in text format, would work.

Are you porting Mono?

Are you porting Mono?

What do you mean? We have large codebase on C# that needs to stay that way (because of Unity 3D). But also we need that same code on the server (Node.js). Currently, we use Edge.js, but compiling with emscripten would be much better.

I see. I think you will need to port the Mono runtime to do this, though? You can use mono-llvm to get your compiled C# code, but I assume it will call into various runtime methods implemented in Mono.

But isn't Mono Full AOT already builds everything that my code needs and then I can run it without depending on Mono at all?

I don't know, just guessing based on other VMs and runtimes I know.

Well, anyway, Mono uses default LLVM but emscripten uses modified version. Need to hook it up somehow.

There is also info on bundling Mono to executable: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/advanced/runtime/
