Optimizing xmllint.js

[ahwitz]

This is an ongoing thing I'll fool around with over time.

I originally had emcc -O2 -s ASM_JS=0 -s SAFE_HEAP=1 libxml2-2.2.7.8/xmllint.o libxml2-2.7.8/.libs/libxml2.a libz.a -o xmllintTest.js --pre-js pre.js as the most efficient, but I lost some data in splitting the repos up, this doesn't work, and I can't retrace what's breaking it.

Current record for functioning and lowest size is: emcc -O1 --minify 1 -s ASM_JS=0 -s SAFE_HEAP=1 libxml2-2.7.8/xmllint.o libxml2-2.7.8/.libs/libxml2.a libz.a -o xmllint.raw.js --pre-js pre.js at 7445895 bytes.

Notes:

• Closure: needs sudo to run, thought it was working earlier but is now compiling the Math.* functions which causes them to not work
• minify: helps a lot
• ASM_JS: can not be used, causes issues with assertions/print-outs
• SAFE_HEAP: may not be necessary but helped

Put in a wiki page at https://github.com/DDMAL/meix.js/wiki/Optimizing-xmllint.js to describe this as well.

mei-all.rng seems to throw a maximum call stack exceeded error every time I use it. Worth diagnosing at some point, but -neumes seems to work right now.

...just added a try/catch and now it doesn't throw the error at all and checks the file all the way through. I don't understand this.

...and a few days later, the try/catch throws a further error.
