Hi,

Work is mostly done on the LLVM backend (codename 'fastcomp') intended to
replace the core of emscripten's compiler. This is a proper C++ backend
integrated with LLVM, and as such is far faster than the original one which
was written in JS. Details about the new compiler are at

https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki/LLVM-Backend

Not all functionality is complete yet in the new compiler, see the list of
limitations in that link - stuff like setjmp and C++ exceptions are the
main missing things. We'll implement those soon I hope, but I'm sending
this email out to see which of the missing features is most important, so I
know how to prioritize.

Instructions to build and use the new compiler are in that link as well.
Please test when you get a chance, and report any bugs you see (the new
compiler passes the emscripten test suite - the parts not using features
not present yet - as well as fuzzing, so it seems fairly robust, however
like any new compiler bugs are very possible).

- Alon
