WebAssembly JIT Compiler

Usage

var wasm = require('wasm-jit');

var compiler = wasm.Compiler.create();

var module = 'your-module-name';
var src = 'void main() {}\n' +
          'export main';
var info = compiler.compile(module, src);

if (!info.main)
  throw new Error('No `main` function was exported');

var ctx = wasm.std.createContext();
info.main(ctx);

Project structure

The project is at its very early phase, and please use it with care. The main npm dependencies are:

wasm-ast - parsing source string into AST form, which is similar to Mozilla's AST in many ways
wasm-cfg - taking the source and transforming it into Control Flow Graph
json-pipeline - basement for CFG graph, and for generic sea-of-nodes graph
ssa.js, dominance-frontier - building SSA form out of non-SSA CFG
json-pipeline-reducer - performing reductions on sea-of-nodes graph
gvn - Global Value Numbering algorithm, for removing common sub-expressions
json-pipeline-scheduler - scheduling sea-of-nodes back to CFG
jit.js - generating machine code out of CFG

Directories

lib/*.js - has very generic, API related files and entities like:
- compiler.js - a Compiler instance and APIs
- pipeline.js - responsible for transforming CFG to the machine code, invokes all reductions and optimizations
- ref-table.js - RefTable instance, holds references to modules' functions (both exported and internal), also holds namespace hashmap, used for looking up imported functions
- std - standard library module, and context creation API
lib/<platform-name>/**/*.js - platform-specific implementation (or base for all platform implementations):
- codegen/ - instance, responsible for generating machine code out of the CFG, invoked by lib/pipeline.js
- codegen/builder.js - convenience methods for defining opcodes on the Codegen (see builder.opcode() throughout the code base)
- reductions/ - holds optimizing and instruction selecting reductions, invoked by lib/pipeline.js. May have different reduction phases, which will be invoked in specific order by lib/pipeline.js
- gvn/ - Global Value Numbering relations, i.e. the criteria for determining that two expressions are equivalent, and could be replaced by a single one

Each reduction and GVN relation have their own tests. Platform tests live in test/<platform-name>. General tests in test/*-test.js.
