Viktor Vaczi e14faeca8b jspi: retire the asyncify pipeline — knob, post-link tail, binaryen hooks
Phase 8 in the parent repo. Deleted: asyncify-scheduler.js, apply-asyncify.sh,
apply-finalize.sh, inject-dyncall-shims.sh, asyncify-imports/removelist.txt,
the wasm-opt/finalize stub pair, scripts/binaryen-hoist-pass/ (the fork stays
a dormant submodule; removal is a follow-up), bench/wasm-opt-bench.sh (README
marked historical), wasm/shims/context_sleep.cpp, and the sched-context
harness app + Makefile targets.

PCBJAM_ASYNC_BACKEND is gone: build-wx-wasm.sh hardcodes the jspi stamp
(still force-cleans pre-migration trees), build-kicad-target.sh gives editors
the JSPI link surface and the CLIs nothing (they pin ASYNCIFY=0), the stub
dance is replaced by an unconditional .real-restore, build-wasm-test.sh lost
its whole post-link loop, docker/build.sh's postprocess is the ENV shim only,
and Makefile.wasm links every app JSPI with the scheduler shim as a tracked
prerequisite. pcbjam_async_policy.h keys on __EMSCRIPTEN__.

jspi-scheduler.js: wxWasmMainLoopPump dropped from the wrap census (the
export died with the D5 detach); inert [TRACE] instrumentation removed.

CI: wasm-build.yml rewritten for the single-cache pipeline (one output cache
keyed on compile inputs; post-processed bytes cached after the shim);
opt_level input removed from both callers. wasm-cache-hash.mjs inputs now
cover patch-env-shim.mjs + jspi-scheduler.js + jspi-exports.txt.

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
