I need to write a shim for the C++ API RtAudio, i.e. the class RtAudio really. Your docs show how to write shims for C APIs (e.g. SDL), but not C++ APIs: http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/porting/connecting_cpp_and_javascript/Interacting-with-code.html?highlight=webidl#implement-a-c-api-in-javascript. No idea how embind/webidl-binder would fit into this scenario.
Anyhow, I wrote a (very) simple C wrapper for RtAudio, thus sidestepping the C++ issue, so I can just write a C API shim. I try to implement a single C function, rtaudio_initialize, in JavaScript, but it's not found by the generated JavaScript (chuck.js). I can tell that the shim (or JavaScript library) is used when building however, since I can have it break the build by throwing an exception. Why is my JS implementation of rtaudio_initialize not found?? My shim can be seen here: https://github.com/aknuds1/chuck/blob/emscripten/src/emscripten/shims/rtaudio.js, and it's incorporated in the build via the --js-library option to emcc: --js-library emscripten/shims/rtaudio.js.
