Option to turn off wasm-exceptions for emscripten builds not available #776

Closed dsamo closed 3 months ago

dsamo commented 3 months ago

Hello, in our company we use boost builds in a webassembly client using emscripten.

Since boost 1.85 it seems by looking into the emscripten jam file that there is no way to turn off wasm-exceptions unless we use node < 16 or emscripten major version < 2. Currently our wasm client is still using js exceptions and if we are to transition we need to put time there to investigate certain things. But with the restriction above we now have a client being built with js exceptions and a library (boost) being built with wasm-exceptions which leads to undefined symbols linker error for __wasm_lpad_context.

Is there a feature flag to circumvent this explicitly?
