Perhaps the biggest missing thing is linking support. This is not deprecated, but there are some issues with it - it works on C code, but C++ can break it. For that reason we may want to reconsider our linking approach, so there is no point adding that to fastcomp before doing so. Also, linking is less crucial for fastcomp anyhow - linking has been a way to avoid rebuilding big projects, but fastcomp is fast enough to rebuild entire projects anyhow, and full rebuilds will give more optimal results due to the compiler seeing all the code together and putting it all in one asm.js module.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by linking support so the
following may not be relevant.
Build time is not the only reason for not wanting to build entire
projects together.
When creating an Emscripten config from an existing MSVS solution
that is configured as multiple projects (e.g. a library and
several applications) you want to retain the structure. I have
such a solution currently using the old compiler. There the
library build generates bitcode. As I understand it, the
application compiles generate JS for the library and application.
One may want to deliver a library for people to use without
providing its source code. The bitcode file would work for this
too.
