I'm a newbie planning on implementing a subset of GDI in javascript that is called from emscripten-converted C (not C++) to draw text on a canvas. I'm looking into using embind because I don't think I can avoid double-quotes in my javascript (I always code in coffeescript).
Some embind questions ... 1) Will I have trouble interfacing with embind from C? I see most of the embind docs in the wiki relate to C++ classes. 2) The wiki page mentions that embind is "not as lightweight as JS libraries". How large is embind (bytes added to page load)? 3) I'm going to be calling several javascript functions from C for every keystroke in an editor. There can't be more than 50 ms or so delay in the browser including the canvas drawing time. Is embind to slow for this? Anyone have an idea what the call overhead is in milliseconds? Can anyone suggest a better way to have C calls draw on a canvas than coding the calls myself in javascript? I've looked at SDL and OpenGL and both seem like overkill. I was disappointed to find there wasn't already a GDI emulation in emscripten. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "emscripten-discuss" group.
