Exchanging Basic Data Types

Welcome! In this lesson, we'll learn how to pass simple data types, known as primitives, between your JavaScript code and your WebAssembly (WASM) module compiled from C/C++.

Primitives include numbers like integers (int) and floating-point numbers (float, double). This is fundamental for enabling communication and interaction between your web application and high-performance WASM logic.

JS to WASM: Integer Input

Passing an integer from JavaScript to a C/C++ WASM function is quite direct. You define your C/C++ function with integer parameters, and Emscripten handles the necessary type mapping.

For example, a C function to add two integers would look like this:

int add_integers(int a, int b) {
  // Function body
  return a + b;
}

Example: WASM Integer Function

Let's look at a complete C program that defines a function to add two integers and exposes it to JavaScript using EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE.

Try running this code and see how it compiles:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <emscripten/emscripten.h>

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE
int add_integers(int a, int b) {
    printf("WASM: Adding %d and %d\n", a, b);
    return a + b;
}

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

int main() {
    printf("WASM module for integers loaded.\n");
    return 0;
}

Calling Integer Function from JS

After compiling the C code above, Emscripten generates a JavaScript glue code file (e.g., your_module.js) that provides access to your C functions.

You can then call the exported C function from your JavaScript code like this:

// Assuming 'Module' is the Emscripten-generated object
Module.onRuntimeInitialized = () => {
  // The C function is prefixed with an underscore by default
  const result = Module._add_integers(10, 25);
  console.log(`Sum from WASM: ${result}`); // Output: Sum from WASM: 35
};

WASM to JS: Integer Output

Returning an integer from a WASM function back to JavaScript is just as straightforward. C/C++ functions naturally return primitive types, and Emscripten ensures these return values are directly accessible in JavaScript.

Consider a C function that simply returns a fixed integer:

int get_magic_number() {
  return 42;
}

Example: WASM Returns Integer

Here's a C example that returns a specific integer. Notice the use of EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE to make it available to JavaScript.

Run this to see the simple C structure:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <emscripten/emscripten.h>

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE
int get_magic_number() {
    printf("WASM: Returning magic number.\n");
    return 42;
}

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

int main() {
    printf("WASM module for returning integers loaded.\n");
    return 0;
}

Exchanging Floating-Point Numbers

Passing floating-point numbers (float and double) between JavaScript and WASM works very similarly to integers. You define your C/C++ functions with float or double parameters and return types.

JavaScript's Number type is generally a 64-bit float (double-precision), which Emscripten automatically converts when passing to C/C++ float (32-bit) or double (64-bit) types.

Example: WASM Float Operations

Let's create a C function that takes two floats and returns their product, and another for doubles. This demonstrates both input and output of floating-point numbers.

Run this code to see how floats are handled:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <emscripten/emscripten.h>

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE
float multiply_floats(float a, float b) {
    printf("WASM: Multiplying floats %.2f * %.2f\n", a, b);
    return a * b;
}

EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE
double divide_doubles(double x, double y) {
    printf("WASM: Dividing doubles %.2f / %.2f\n", x, y);
    if (y == 0.0) return 0.0; // Avoid division by zero
    return x / y;
}

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

int main() {
    printf("WASM module for floats/doubles loaded.\n");
    return 0;
}

Type Matching is Key

While Emscripten handles much of the type conversion automatically, it's good practice to be aware of the underlying types:

  • JavaScript Number: This is typically a 64-bit floating-point number.
  • C/C++ int: Often 32-bit integer.
  • C/C++ float: 32-bit floating-point number.
  • C/C++ double: 64-bit floating-point number.

When passing a JS Number to a C float, there might be a slight loss of precision, as the 64-bit JS number is truncated to a 32-bit float.

Quick Check: Data Flow

You've learned how simple data types are exchanged. Let's test your understanding.

Recap: Primitive Exchange

Great job! You've mastered the basics of primitive data exchange between JavaScript and WebAssembly modules compiled from C/C++.

  • Simple data types like int, float, and double are straightforward to pass.
  • C/C++ functions can take them as parameters and return them as results.
  • Emscripten acts as the bridge, automatically converting between JavaScript's Number type and C/C++'s primitive types.
  • Be mindful of potential precision differences when converting between 64-bit (JS Number, C double) and 32-bit (C float, C int) types.

This fundamental understanding paves the way for exchanging more complex data structures later on!
