• Patchset:

  • Patch Set #5:

    While I'm personally not a big believer in the "let's run SDR software and/or telecom protocol stack […]

    Thanks a lot for the thorough review and for the positive assessment of the patch cleanliness — really appreciate it!

    I get the skepticism about browser-based SDR/telecom stacks — it's niche and has clear trade-offs.
    Still, I see value in it for education, quick prototyping, client-side analysis, and zero-setup experimentation.

    **On the CI side:**

    I fully agree — some form of build verification is essential to prevent regressions.
    Nightly testing of master (with email notifications on failure) seems like the best low-impact compromise. It avoids bloating Gerrit verification times while still catching issues early.

    A quick note on the current Emscripten build setup:

    To make libosmocore buildable under Emscripten/WebAssembly:

    • We use Emscripten as the toolchain.
    • The main dependency issue is talloc (from Samba), which lacks official Emscripten support and a static-library-only mode (needed for WASM).
    • Forking talloc long-term with patches is undesirable (upstream divergence + extra maintenance).

    Instead, I apply the necessary adjustments at build time using a custom Conan 2 recipe for talloc — this keeps upstream sources untouched while enabling reproducible static builds for Emscripten.

    I also prepared a small auxiliary shell script locally (for development/testing only) that:

    • sets up a Python venv,
    • installs Conan 2,
    • builds talloc via the Emscripten recipe,
    • then compiles libosmocore with the required flags.

    Clarification: neither the Conan recipe nor the script are included in this patchset.

    Happy to share them separately if useful for CI setup.
