Distributed C / C++ compiler using implemented using WebAssembly and the Distributed Compute Protocol (DCP)

Just Another Distributed C/C++ Compiler

How to pronounce jadcc

"jadch"

What is jadcc

• A rushed proof of concept
• WASM binary of the Clang compiler
• WASM binary of an in memory file system
• Deployed using the Distributed Compute Protocol

Credit

• This work is a continuation (and fork) of https://github.com/binji/wasm-clang

Current Issues

• This depends on a unique DCP setup that has to be mandated across all workers compiling code
  • Therefore, this code does not work on production DCP as it expects each worker to have a copy of the CLANG compiler as a WASM binary
• There are no optimizations here
• This only compiles libraries that do not source other c code
  • This will be the focus of future work on this project

Instructions

• ensure your DCP users are using a dcp-client where the binaries are injected into the work functions arguments as base64 strings in this order (clang, memfs, sysroot.tar)
• npm install
• ./dcp.js
