1. Build system changes

Add Dockerfile to standardize Emscripten build (using an Ubunutu 22.04 LTS base image)

• • Using known good Emscripten version (2.0.24)

Update build_usd.py build script to support:

Adding an --emscripten build option to specify a WebAssembly target

Using emcmake/emmake as a drop-in replacement for cmake when targeting WebAssembly build

Replacing TBB with WasmTBB

Listing USD components incompatible with WebAssembly build to warn Users that Python, usdview, imaging have been disabled

Add CMakeLists.txt for JavaScript/WebAssembly bindings in order to:

• • List USD binding dependencies (usd, usdLux, usdGeom, usdUtils, sdf, tf)
  • Specify location of WebAssembly build artifacts (WASM bundle, WebWorker, JavaScript bindings)

Include tests to validate WebAssembly build, using a NodeJS dependency in order to enable tests from headless environments. Test examples include (but are not limited to):

1. 1. Loading a USDA stage
   2. Exporting USDA stage to string
   3. Traversing the USDA stage
   4. Running WebWorkers
   5. etc.

2. Core USD changes

arch library

• Add #if defined(__EMSCRIPTEN__) guards to integrate Emscripten as an alternative to Linux platform:

pxr/base/arch/debugger.cpp

• • ArchDebuggerTrap()
  •  ArchAbort()
  •  ARCH_BITS_32

https://github.com/autodesk-forks/USD/blob/adsk/feature/webgpu/pxr/base/arch/debugger.cpp#L646

Note sure what to do with ARCH_BITS_32

pxr/base/arch/fileSystem.cpp


• • ArchStatIsWritable()
  • ArchGetModificationTime()
  • ArchGetAccessTime()
  • ArchGetStatusChangeTime()
  • ArchGetFileLength()

pxr/base/arch/library.cpp

• ArchLibraryOpen()
•  ArchLibraryError()
• ArchLibraryClose()
• ArchLibraryGetSymbolAddress()

• ArchGetStartTickTime()
•  ArchGetStopTickTime()

https://github.com/autodesk-forks/USD/blob/adsk/feature/webgpu/pxr/base/arch/timing.h#L76

https://github.com/autodesk-forks/USD/blob/adsk/feature/webgpu/pxr/base/arch/timing.h#L133

tf library

• Add type registration for USD symbols to be exposed to/from C++/JavaScript
  • Used to wrap TfToken, double, int, etc.
• Add TfPointerAndBits to specify operations on 32-bit architectures (as USD only specifies 64-bit operations by default)

vt library

• Add type registration for USD symbols to be exposed to/from C++/JavaScript
  • Add getJsObj to VtValue (similar to the existing getPyObj for Python)

sdf library

• Add type registration for USD symbols to be exposed to/from C++/JavaScript
  • Used to wrap SdfPath objects

usd library

• Add type registration for USD symbols to be exposed to/from C++/JavaScript
  • Used to wrap UsdPrim, UsdStage objects to expose CreateNew(), ExportToString() and other API bindings.
