Viktor Vaczi 33e23e0a65 tooling(sourcetrail): code-graph setup + asyncify allocator-suspend plan
sourcetrail/: Sourcetrail 2021.4.19 indexing pipeline for the wasm port —
compile-db transform (rsp expansion, PCH strip, libc++-11 pinning, path
rewrites), removelist-candidate analysis over the indexed call graph, README
with regen steps and the hard-won tricks (relative --project-file hang,
SDK-header poisoning). Heavy artifacts (.srctrldb, compile dbs, libcxx
headers) stay untracked via the folder's .gitignore.

docs/asyncify-allocator-suspend/plan.md: verified plan for the nanosleep-shim
zero-duration guard (mimalloc mi_atomic_yield=sleep(0) can suspend malloc on
the main thread), the red/green contention test, and the adversarially
verified removelist additions with measured payoff (80.9k -> 60.0k
instrumented functions). Planned, not yet executed.

Documentation Map

A central index of the documentation in this repo. The goal of the project is to build KiCad with WASM and run it in a browser.

Note: per-area README.md files stay next to the code they describe (they're linked below). Cross-cutting guides live under docs/. Per-feature design notes live under features/.

Start here

  • Project README — overview, prerequisites, quick start, project structure
  • CLAUDE.md — project/agent context and contribution conventions

Build

  • docs/build.md — Docker-based KiCad WASM build system (two-phase build, outputs, memory)
  • docker/README.md — Docker build environment, branch-specific containers, troubleshooting
  • wasm/README.md — WASM compatibility layer (overrides/shims without patching KiCad)

Debugging & Asyncify

Architecture

  • wasm/README.md — WASM compatibility layer structure
  • web/README.md — web app (create/open KiCad projects), tech stack, URL routing, WASM artifact serving

Testing

Feature design docs

Per-feature design notes and porting records live under features/:

Archived / historical

features/archive/ holds docs whose work is done or superseded (each carries a status banner):

  • webgl — WebGL-GAL strategy/plan (since implemented in kicad/common/gal/webgl/)
  • ipc-api — IPC-API guard cleanup TODO (revert not yet actioned)
