terser.js: RangeError: Set maximum size exceeded

[bottle2]

okay. I will dump a lot of information. bear with me. I had three difficulties, but only the last one matters. you can skip to the end for the real issue, the rest until then is only whining.

I wrote a code generator that generates one function that spans around 330110 lines (really, hundreds of thousands of lines). I remember it compiling once with Emscripten, but I don't remember the flags anymore. this code is non-critical, it is merely the fruits of my ongoing bachelor thesis. sounds a little absurd, but honestly this is so easy that this is how it will be for now.

problem 1: function created with EM_JS doesn't have external linkage when optimizations enabled

there_she_is.c contains the following:

#define EM_JS2(...) EM_JS(__VA_ARGS__)
EM_JS2(void, there_she_is_render_html5, (__externref_t CanvasRenderingContext2D, int frame), {
    // one switch..case that spans 300 thousand lines
});

The function-like macro EM_JS2 serves the purpose as discussed in #23690

the following on there_she_is.h:

void there_she_is_render_html5(__externref_t CanvasRenderingContext2D, int frame);

and on main.c:

#include "there_she_is.h"

EM_JS(__externref_t, get_canvas, (), {
    window.censored = document.getElementById('canvas').getContext('2d');
});

static void iter(void) {
    there_she_is_render_html5(get_canvas(), frame_i);
}

let's compile this. I have omitted all the other parts. the real files are linked in the bottom.

borked. hint: wasm-ld: error: index.wasm.lto.o: undefined symbol: there_she_is_render_html5.

like, I know what __externref_t is an extension and this means that I'm outside the C standard, but you know, I'd like to rely on standard C semantics, that a function has external linkage unless I explicitly tell it to have internal linkage through the static storage-class specifier.

whatever. I changed my code generator so that there_she_is.c looks like this:

#define EM_JS2(...) EM_JS(__VA_ARGS__)
EM_JS2(void, there_she_is_render_html5_2, (__externref_t CanvasRenderingContext2D, int frame), {
    // one switch..case that spans 300 thousand lines
});

void there_she_is_render_html5(__externref_t CanvasRenderingContext2D, int frame) {
    there_she_is_render_html5_2(CanvasRenderingContext2D, frame);
}

now we face a different problem changes. let's see it

problem 2: not enough memory

with the previous kludge applied, let's compile again.

no problem. I searched online and I found a solution. but can we finally compile? no

problem 3 (the one that matters): RangeError: Set maximum size exceeded on terser.js

I got 12 GB of RAM. let's ramp up usage.

can it run? yes it can, I can attest it visually. so can you: https://www.newgrounds.com/projects/games/6419340/preview
did it compile correctly? I don't know, really. I can't distinguish if it could have miscompiled due to that Set not being filled correctly.

here are the files necessary to compile the program to hit the error, with EM_JS kludge already applied:

• main.c
• there_she_is.c
• there_she_is.h

sorry for any profanity in advance.

Problem 1 is known limitation of EM_JS. If you want to call the function from other compilation units I recommend writing a small C wrapper and having that be the externally visible function.

Problem 2: What was the solution here? I assume increasing the amount of memory available to node (acorn?)

Problem 3: It seems like you are running up against the internal limits in node / acorn. Can you confirm that it crashes for with when running through vanilla acorn? (You can create a simple 2 line script to parse your JS code: https://github.com/acornjs/acorn/tree/master/acorn/).
