Emscripten/asm.js can use static information to generate Javascript which can be compiled to native code, before the code in question is run, aka Ahead of Time.
- pjmlp 12y agoWell, I majored in compiler design. Ahead of time compilation is used to describe the process of generating machine code at compilation time, in a form that can be executed directly by a processor without any additional transformation process. Which clearly is not happening here, as the code is converted into JavaScript and relies on a JavaScript implementation to run. Regardless of the optimization processes used by the JavaScript engine.
