  Is there a PNaCl spec or just Google's implementation?

    There's a bitcode spec [1] and a stability doc [2]. 1 - https://developers.google.com/native-client/dev/reference/pnacl-bitcode-abi https://developers.google.com/native-client/dev/reference/pn... 2 - http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/pnacl/stability-of-the-pnacl-bitcode-abi http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/pnacl/stability-of-the-...

  The code is open source, but last I heard there isn't a spec for PNaCl/PPAPI.

    The PNaCl ABI is defined here: https://developers.google.com/native-client/dev/reference/pnacl-bitcode-abi https://developers.google.com/native-client/dev/reference/pn... - and it's definitely a work in progress we'll be trying to improve. As for Pepper, it's also all documented here and below - https://developers.google.com/native-client/dev/pepperc/ https://developers.google.com/native-client/dev/pepperc/ Granted, this is documentation, not a standards-body spec.

      Yes, certainly has had effort put into proper documentation. Do you know if there is also work being done to spec it formally?
      • eliben 13y ago
        We're definitely considering it.

  For Pepper? There is not, in fact. There's some developer documentation, but nothing resembling an actual implementation spec.
