Viktor Vaczi c1ef489cfa feat(wasm-eh): migrate the WASM build to native wasm exceptions (+ 3D viewer default-on) 
Replace the legacy Emscripten JS-exceptions model with native wasm-EH (legacy
encoding) across the whole build, keeping Asyncify coroutines working via a
from-source Binaryen --hoist-cpp-catches pre-pass. Net result: native-EH is the
only build mode, the 3D viewer is on by default, and pcbnew shrinks substantially.

Highlights:
- Binaryen submodule everywhere + --hoist-cpp-catches integration in apply-asyncify;
  post-link Asyncify covers every app wasm (not just standalone test wasm).
- Build deps (incl. OpenCASCADE without OCC_CONVERT_SIGNALS) and all KiCad apps
  with -fwasm-exceptions; emscripten_sleep added to the post-link asyncify-imports.
- libcontext fiber entry wired under native exceptions; while-loop main loop +
  currData shim injected into all wx apps.
- Native-EH collab apply fixed: DEBUG-define the embind TU + match all out-of-CMake
  C++ TUs' ABI flags to the core, fixing the vtable-layout skew / mis-dispatch.
- 3D viewer enabled by default (real raytracer linked, not the stub).
- Retire the EH-spike scaffolding; flip the asyncify-races ablation pins to
  shim-redundancy pins (native-EH stays clean with the legacy shims ablated).
- Fix the asyncify-races quiescence check to not require Asyncify.currData==0:
  under the native-EH per-frame-yield top loop the main stack is asyncify-suspended
  every frame, so currData legitimately churns (a freed-but-not-yet-nulled buffer,
  not a leak). Refresh the pcbnew toolbar screenshot baseline for the new kicad.
- CI: drop the obsolete binaryen_version input/env (the build uses the binaryen
  submodule fork's wasm-opt, not a version download); key the wasm-output cache on
  the binaryen submodule SHA instead.

Bumps the wxwidgets + binaryen submodules to their squashed feature commits.

Validated green: all 7 apps native-EH (real 3D in pcbnew); KiCad e2e 63/63
Firefox + Chromium (3D viewer renders); wx 336; coroutine 34/34 both engines;
asyncify 7/7 both engines.

Docker Build Environment for KiCad WASM

This directory contains Docker configuration for building KiCad for WebAssembly in a reproducible, isolated environment.

Prerequisites

  • Docker Desktop (with Docker Compose v2)
  • Git submodules initialized: git submodule update --init --recursive

Quick Start

# Build KiCad WASM (full build)
./docker/build.sh

# Build with options
./docker/build.sh --no-clean    # Skip cleaning build directory
./docker/build.sh --debug       # Build with debug symbols

# Interactive shell for debugging
./docker/shell.sh

Branch-Specific Builds

Each git branch gets isolated Docker containers and volumes, enabling parallel development:

# On branch 'main' → containers/volumes prefixed with 'kicad-wasm-main'
# On branch 'feature-x' → containers/volumes prefixed with 'kicad-wasm-feature-x'

This allows you to:

  • Work on multiple branches simultaneously using git worktrees
  • Each worktree has its own build cache (no conflicts)
  • Switch branches without rebuilding from scratch

Using git worktrees for parallel development:

# Create a worktree for a new branch
git worktree add ../kicad-wasm-feature path/to/branch

# Build in the worktree (uses isolated Docker volumes)
cd ../kicad-wasm-feature
./docker/build.sh

# List all worktrees
git worktree list

What Gets Built

The build process includes:

  1. Dependencies (cached in Docker volume):

    • GLM (header-only)
    • Zstd, Protobuf
    • FreeType, HarfBuzz
    • Pixman, Cairo
    • Boost (Locale)
    • OpenCASCADE (optional, for 3D/STEP)
    • CURL headers, libgit2 headers (stubs)

  2. wxWidgets (built from submodule)

  3. KiCad PCBnew (main application)

Container Resources

Configured for M4 Max (adjust in docker-compose.yml):

  • CPUs: 10 cores
  • Memory: 16GB

Volume Strategy

Path Type Purpose
/workspace Bind mount Source code
/workspace/build-wasm Named volume Build cache (deps, sysroot)
/workspace/output Bind mount Final WASM output

Common Commands

# Start container
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

# Run a command inside
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml exec kicad-wasm-builder <command>

# View logs
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml logs -f

# Stop container
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down

# Clear build cache (full rebuild)
docker volume rm docker_kicad-build-cache

Troubleshooting

Build freezes

The OpenCASCADE build is very resource-intensive. If it freezes:

  1. Reduce parallel jobs: Edit script to use -j4 instead of -j$(nproc)
  2. Monitor with docker stats
  3. Consider building OpenCASCADE separately with ./scripts/deps/build-opencascade.sh

Permission issues

Files created in container are owned by root. To fix:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) output/

Cache issues

# Clear all cached builds
docker volume rm docker_kicad-build-cache

# Or clear specific stamps inside container
./docker/shell.sh
rm /workspace/build-wasm/stamps/*.stamp
