[9fans] Plan9 C compiler targetting WASM

My Google-fu is not coming up with any definitive results.

Does anybody know of any implementation of Plan9 C compiler targeting WASM ?

On a related note: I believe there was some work being done to target
RISC-V. I can't remember who or where it was located.

Appreciate any references or comments that you might have.

Regarding RISC-V:
Richard Miller did the port, and there is also an updated kencc. Michael
Engel has it here, also referencing Richard's work:

[arnold]

Is there a version of ken-cc that can be used as an
alternative C compiler to compile regular old code
on Linux?

Thanks,

Arnold

The riscv (ia/ic/il) and riscv64 (ja/jc/jl) toolchain is available in 9legacy

Also can be built from sources/contrib/miller/riscv.tar

I don't think there is one. I found a project that claims to be a WebAssembly port of Plan9 not long time ago: https://github.com/xphung/plan9_webasm, and they used Emscripten. If you want a Plan9 C compiler targeting WASM you'll probably have to make one yourself, although I could be wrong.

Would you mind to share your use case?

Just wanted to note that in addition (and with the help of) Richard Miller's work on riscv, I was able to import the userspace portions for riscv into 9front. The result of that work is not merged (there has yet to be someone that has put in the work to write a 9front kernel for riscv) however the userspace bits function well enough to compile the entire 9front userspace. I don't anticipate more work happening on this front soon, but if anyone is curious the repository can be found here: https://shithub.us/moody/riscv/HEAD/info.html

I admire the cross-compilation capabilities of Plan9. Compared to gcc and
Clang, Plan9 C compilers appeal to my sense of aesthetics. There are some
utilities that I would like to port to browser environments and I am loath
to use plan9port sources and thus wrangle with gcc, etc.

I totally concur with Nicklaus Wirth:  "Increasingly, people seem to
misinterpret complexity as sophistication, which is baffling -- the
incomprehensible should cause suspicion rather than admiration."

As someone who works in embedded systems in a horrible train-wreck of C++,
I second this heartily.
