| +WebAssembly Migration Guide
|
| +===========================
|
| +
|
| +(P)NaCl Deprecation Announcements
|
| +---------------------------------
|
| +
|
| +Given the momentum of cross-browser WebAssembly support, we plan to focus our
|
| +native code efforts on WebAssembly going forward and plan to remove support for
|
| +PNaCl in Q1 2018 (except for Chrome Apps). We believe that the vibrant
|
| +ecosystem around `WebAssembly <http://webassembly.org>`_
|
| +makes it a better fit for new and existing high-performance
|
| +web apps and that usage of PNaCl is sufficiently low to warrant deprecation.
|
| +
|
| +We also recently announced the deprecation Q1 2018 of
|
| +`Chrome Apps
|
| +<https://blog.chromium.org/2016/08/from-chrome-apps-to-web.html>`_
|
| +outside of ChromeOS.
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Toolchain Migration
|
| +-------------------
|
| +
|
| +For the majority of (P)NaCl uses cases we recommend transitioning
|
| +from the NaCl SDK to `Emscripten
|
| +<http://webassembly.org/getting-started/developers-guide/>`_.
|
| +Migration is likely to be reasonably straightforward
|
| +if your application is portable to Linux, uses
|
| +`SDL <https://www.libsdl.org/>`_, or POSIX APIs.
|
| +While direct support for NaCl / Pepper APIs in not available,
|
| +we've attempted to list Web API equivalents.
|
| +For more challenging porting cases, please reach out on

|
| +API Migration
|
| +-------------
|
| +
|
| +We've outlined here the status of Web Platform substitutes for each
|
| +of the APIs exposed to (P)NaCl.
|
| +Additionally, the table lists the library or option in Emscripten
|
| +that offers the closest substitute.
|
| +
|
| +We expect to add shared memory threads support to WebAssembly in 2017,
|
| +as threads are crucial to matching (P)NaCl's most interesting use
|
| +cases. Migration items which assume forthcoming threads support
|
| +are marked below. If your application's flow control relies heavily on blocking
|
| +APIs, you may also find threads support is required for convenient porting.
|
| +
|
| +While we've tried to be accurate in this table,
|
| +there are no doubt errors or omissions.
|
| +If you encounter one, please reach out to us on
