Title: Asm.js optimizations
Post by: lainz on April 13, 2019, 09:19:46 pm

Asm.js
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asm.js

Is the pas2js output javascript code optimized like is described in that wiki article, for example:

Code: C  [Select][+][-]

1. int f(int i) {
2.   return i + 1;
3. }

That in Pascal is something like:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. function f(i: integer): integer;
2. begin
3.   Result := i + 1;
4. end;

And translated to Asm.js

Code: Javascript  [Select][+][-]

1. function f(i) {
2.   i = i|0;
3.   return (i + 1)|0;
4. }

The extra "|0" converts the variables to int32 acording to the article, so it doesn't use floating point math.

No, but it would be possible to add an option to do so.
I did not take a look what other conversions are needed, so I can't estimate how much work it is.

Hi thanks for the quick response.

Ok it will be great and another reason to choose pas2js instead of emscriptem.
