This library is superceded by the official WebAssembly/TypeScript/Javascript bindings of Z3, see https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3/tree/master/src/api/js

This repository contains scripts that makes interaction with the Z3 solver from a browser using WASM easier.

• build.sh contains commands to fetch and compile Z3 using emscripten.
• api/ contains a C API which exposes the Z3 API to Javascript, and the api.js file contains some glue code that enables easier interaction with the C API.
• example/ contains an example of how to use the api.c module using a dynamically linked native version of the Z3 library, this cannot be used from the browser.
• index.html contains an example on how to load and use the Z3 Javascript glue code.

Both the location of the Z3 repository and the Z3 version can be controlled using environment variables. Z3_BASE_DIR controls the location of the cloned Z3 repository, while Z3_VERSION alters the version that is fetched from Github.

The bindgen directory contains some Python scripts to automate generating Javascript bindings for the Z3 C Api.

Currently, all functions declared in z3/src/api/z3.h of the original Z3 source are used for the Javascript bindings, all Z3_* types are treated as opaque pointers (i.e., just numbers from Javascript's point of view) except for Z3_string which is treated as a string.

As of yet, the bindings remain untested, so it might be possible that an incorrect type is assigned to a particular parameter which might lead to undefined behaviour.

Clément Pit-Claudel has performed similar steps as I have taken here. However, its scripts are meant to be used on Ubuntu or Debian derivates, and do not work nicely on other distributions of Linux. Furthermore, its Z3 version is outdated, and numerous users have reported either compilation issues or issues while using the library.
