This reverts commit 6bb0179c65 from 2018,
which in turn reverted commit f6ba4111e1,
which in turn reverted commit 4ce2875262
from 2015. The related Emscripten PR was merged in 2018, so it's safe to
assume everything works as expected nowadays.
Which also means I can finally delete my Emscripten fork that contained
the original branch that attempted to add glDrawRangeElements() in May
2015, before WebGL 2 was even supported in Emscripten, or Firefox.
This makes the minimal supported Emscripten version 1.39.5. With some
more effort this could be changed to 1.38.27, but I don't think anybody
needs that.
AsciiToString is not included by default on 3.1.21+ and including it is
basically impossible on the library side because I don't think they
fixed the case of supplying multiple DEFAULT_LIBRARY_FUNCS_TO_INCLUDE
options on the command line in order to concatenate those lists yet.
Also, given that UTF8ToString is probably already used in other places
since it's included by default, using AsciiToString would only mean
inflating the JS code.
Went undiscovered until now, when a magnum-extras Android build enabled
Primitives but not MeshTools and then later failed as FindMagnum linked
optional Primitives to (required) MeshTools but those weren't found.
So far this was only possible by creating a temporary MeshView, while
everything else (index/vertex count, base vertex, base instance, ...)
was changeable directly on the Mesh.
Could make sense to eventually turn those into --magnum-whatever options
and have them available always. There's however the yet-unanswered
question of how to provide help for those if a GL/Vk context has its own
set of options, and how to make them not warn about mutually invalid
options.
Such as Emscripten or Android. The hypothetical use case is converting
shader files directly on an Android device to debug things, or having a
Node.js build of a scene/image converter for "portability".
Static plugins can be linked to these if Magnum is built together with
Magnum Plugins in a CMake superproject and the plugins are then linked
via the MAGNUM_*CONVERTER_STATIC_PLUGINS CMake variable.
The fontconverter and distanceconverter tools cause a CMake error on
Emscripten as it's not currently possible to access the GPU through a
command-line Node.js app. On Android they work though.
