CONTEXT — porting PySide6 6.11 QtCore bindings to WebAssembly (emscripten 4.0.12, static, no-dlopen, ASYNCIFY, JS-exceptions) for a FreeCAD-wasm build.
Toolchain: run `source /opt/toolchains/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh` first, then use emcc/emar/emnm (emscripten's llvm-nm) / emcc -c.
Paths:
- PySide6 source: /tmp/pyside-setup/sources/pyside6 (PySide6 module dir: .../PySide6). shiboken6 source: /tmp/pyside-setup/sources/shiboken6
- Generated QtCore wrappers (already produced): /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/pyside-port/build/m2-qtcore/gen/PySide6/QtCore/*.cpp (module header: pyside6_qtcore_python.h)
- Built archive under test: /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/pyside-port/build/m2-qtcore/libQtCore_wasm.a
- Build script that produced it: /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/pyside-port/m2-qtcore/build.sh (IMPORTANT: it compiles ONLY the generated wrapper *.cpp into the archive; it compiles NONE of the glue TUs. It excludes files matching *numpy*.)
- Sibling archives present at final link: libpyside_wasm.a (pyside-port/build/libpyside/), libShiboken_wasm.a (pyside-port/build/shiboken-mod/), libshiboken_wasm.a (pyside-port/build/m0-minimal/)
- Qt (asyncify wasm): /opt/toolchains/qt-asyncify/6.11.1/wasm_singlethread (static libs in lib/libQt6*.a, headers in include/). Built single-thread (QT_FEATURE_thread=-1).
- Python wasm: /opt/toolchains/python-wasm (headers include/python3.14, static libs in lib/). CPython 3.14.4.
- Host moc for glue that needs it: /opt/toolchains/qt/6.11.1/gcc_64/libexec/moc
- shiboken generated-inc dir: /home/magik6k/lcad-wasm/pyside-port/build/shiboken-wasm-inc (has sbkversion.h, embed/*)
KNOWN (but INCOMPLETE — wasm-ld stopped at "too many errors") undefined symbols when linking FreeCAD against libQtCore_wasm.a:
- QtCoreHelper::QGenericArgumentHolder::* and QtCoreHelper::QGenericReturnArgumentHolder::* (ctor/dtor/data/metaType/toGenericReturnArgument/operator=)
- PyTime_ImportAndCheck(_object*)
- QLocale::qt_check_for_QGADGET_macro(), and same for QMimeType, QNativeIpcKey, QStandardPaths, QLocationPermission
AUTHORITATIVE FACT: sources/pyside6/PySide6/QtCore/CMakeLists.txt compiles 4 glue translation units into the QtCore module that build.sh is currently MISSING:
glue/qeasingcurve_glue.cpp, glue/core_snippets.cpp, glue/qtcorehelper.cpp, glue/qiopipe.cpp
qiopipe.cpp contains Q_OBJECT and #include "qiopipe.moc" (needs moc). qt_check_for_QGADGET_macro is a Q_GADGET moc-marker method that is DECLARED but NEVER defined anywhere (confirmed: not in libQt6Core.a) — shiboken wrongly generated a Python binding that CALLS it.
The build.sh compile flags for wrappers are:
EMFLAGS="-fexceptions -O2 -DNDEBUG -std=c++17 -DSHIBOKEN_NO_EMBEDDING_PYC=1 -DAVOID_PROTECTED_HACK=1"
INCS="-I<gen> -I<shiboken-wasm-inc> -I<inc>/embed -I<python3.14> -I<shiboken6/libshiboken> -I<pyside6/libpyside> -I<PySide6/QtCore> -I<PySide6> -I<qtinc> -I<qtinc/QtCore> -I<qtinc/QtCore/6.11.1> -I<qtinc/QtCore/6.11.1/QtCore> -I<qt/mkspecs/wasm-emscripten>"
GOAL: produce the COMPLETE set of changes to build.sh so that ONE rebuild yields an archive that links into FreeCAD with ZERO undefined symbols. Be concrete and evidence-based: cite file:line, and RUN emnm/emcc/grep to verify claims. Do not speculate — compile things and check.
YOUR DIMENSION — empirical complete unresolved-symbol set. Do this concretely:
1. `emnm libQtCore_wasm.a` → collect all 'U' (undefined) symbols (demangle with c++filt where useful).
2. Build the "provided" symbol universe: emnm the sibling archives (libpyside_wasm.a, libShiboken_wasm.a, libshiboken_wasm.a), the Qt asyncify libs actually linked by FreeCAD (at least libQt6Core.a; also check libQt6Gui/Widgets if referenced), and the python-wasm libs — collecting their 'T/W/etc' defined symbols.
3. ALSO compile the 4 glue TUs (qeasingcurve_glue.cpp, core_snippets.cpp, qtcorehelper.cpp, qiopipe.cpp) to objects in a scratch dir (/tmp/glueprobe-B) with the build.sh flag/include set (adapt paths; run moc on qiopipe first) and add THEIR defined symbols to the provided set.
4. Compute: undefined(archive) MINUS provided(everything) = the TRUE remaining-undefined set. Group by root cause. This is the ground truth of what still breaks after adding glue.
Return the remaining-undefined list exhaustively in remainingUndefinedSymbols, and requiredActions to resolve each group.

I'm realizing the awk pattern is matching the wrong field because the output format varies—defined symbols have the address in the first column, but undefined symbols start with "U" in the first column.

I need to track down the qiopipe header file and understand the include dependencies — it looks like qiopipe.cpp requires Qt private headers, so I'll need to check where qiopipe.h is located in the QtCore directory structure and then replicate the build flags to compile everything together.

I'm noticing that qiopipe.h and qtcorehelper.h aren't in the expected QtCore directory, so I need to search more broadly across the PySide6 codebase. Since qeasingcurve_glue.cpp successfully includes from "glue/qeasingcurve_glue.h", the include paths must be configured to reach QtCore, so these missing headers should be findable somewhere in the project structure.

The headers are already in place through the PySide6 directory, and the build script has the include path set up. Now I need to compile the glue files by running moc on qiopipe.cpp to generate the required moc file, then set up the compilation environment to match what build.sh uses.

The issue is that quoting EMFLAGS causes it to be treated as a single argument instead of being word-split. Since the default shell is zsh and it doesn't word-split unquoted variables like bash does, I need to either explicitly run bash or use arrays instead. I'll wrap the command in bash explicitly or create a script since build.sh already uses bash.

The shell is zsh (no word-splitting). Let me run in bash.

I see there are 367 symbols left to examine, but most of them are emscripten runtime artifacts like invoke functions, C++ exception handling symbols, and emscripten builtins that get linked in at the final stage rather than coming from archives. I need to filter those out to identify the actual unresolved symbols at the application level.
Fable
⚙ Bash {"command": "cd /tmp/glueprobe-B\necho \"=== ALL 367 remaining ===\"\ncat remaining.txt", "description": "Show all remaining undefined"}
Fable
thinking
I'm identifying which undefined symbols are actually compiler runtime functions that Emscripten resolves automatically during the final linking stage, so they're not actual problems to worry about—things like exception handling symbols, memory functions, and WebAssembly table references.
The real issue is the Q_GADGET markers that shiboken generated bindings for but were never actually defined in the Qt libraries themselves. These are the actual undefined symbols I need to track down and fix.
Then there's the init_QXxx functions — each wrapper class should define its own initialization function, and the module wrapper calls them all during setup. If these are showing as undefined, it means …
Fable
Important: I need to also subtract the archive's OWN defined symbols (a symbol can be defined in one member and undefined in another). Let me recompute.

So there are 130 symbols still unresolved. The init_QXxx symbols I thought were undefined are actually defined within the archive itself—they're referenced by the module wrapper but defined in the wrapper.cpp members. Let me look at what those 130 remaining ones are.
Fable

Fable
thinking
I'm sorting through these 130 symbols by categorizing them, starting with the Emscripten runtime functions and C++ exception handling symbols that get resolved automatically during the final link stage—things like the C++ ABI exception handlers and dynamic cast operations that aren't actually problematic.
The next batch includes more Emscripten internals like the indirect function table and stack pointer, the invoke wrappers for JavaScript exception handling, standard C library functions like malloc and string operations, memory allocation operators from libc++abi, and the C++ type info vtables—all of which are provided by Emscripten's default system libraries at link time, so they're not r …

Let me categorize by investigating the real (non-runtime) symbols. First the QIOPipe meta, QThread, and QGADGET issues.

I see the issue now—the moc output for qiopipe.moc only contains the QPipeEndPoint metadata, but the QIOPipe class metadata is missing because the header file qiopipe.h was never processed through moc. I need to run moc on the header to generate moc_qiopipe.cpp and include that in the build. Let me check the QThread references next.

QIOPipe meta comes from moc'ing the header (missing). Let me verify and check who references QThread/QSemaphore and the QGADGET calls.

Looking at the symbol definitions from moc_qiopipe.o, I can see it provides the four QIOPipe symbols I need, though it introduces a new undefined reference to the QIOPipe constructor that should be resolved by the glue code in qiopipe.cpp.
So Category C is handled by including the moc output. Now I need to investigate Category D — the QThread and QSemaphore references — to determine if they're actually missing from libQt6Core.a or if there's something else going on.
Fable
moc_qiopipe.o resolves all 4 QIOPipe symbols. Now let me investigate QThread/QSemaphore (Category D) and the QGADGET calls (Category B).

QThread and QSemaphore symbols are missing from the static library because threading is disabled, and they're only referenced in two wrapper objects. I'm tracking down the complete list of undefined references to confirm they're isolated to just qthread_wrapper.o and qsemaphore_wrapper.o.
The issue is that QSemaphore::tryAcquire with a timeout overload needs threading support, so it's not compiled in. Simply excluding those wrapper files would create new undefined symbols (init_QThread and init_QSemaphore) since the module wrapper calls all the init functions. Instead, I could provide stub definitions for the five missing QThread and QSemaphore symbols to keep the bindings linked without ac …

QThread/QSemaphore symbols confirmed absent (thread feature off), referenced only by their wrappers. Now let me examine the QGADGET calls and their source, plus check the module wrapper's init_ references.

Fable

I'm seeing how these wrapper files generate a Python method that wraps Qt's internal `qt_check_for_QGADGET_macro` — a special marker method that the Q_GADGET macro declares to detect when moc code generation is needed.
The issue is that shiboken incorrectly generates bindings for this internal marker, which causes linker errors since the method is intentionally never defined. The upstream fix would be to reject it in the typesystem, but for a build-only solution, I can either provide stub definitions for all 17 classes or patch the generated wrappers to remove the calls. Providing stubs is simpler and safer, though I need to verify whether `qt_check_for_QGADGET_macro` is declared as public …

17 wrapper files call `cppSelf->qt_check_for_QGADGET_macro()`. Let me check the declaration form and test a stub-definition approach.

Fable

The issue is that `qt_check_for_QGADGET_macro()` is declared as a public member function in the Q_GADGET macro but never actually defined, so I need to provide out-of-class implementations for each class that uses it. Since it's public and non-static, I can just add empty function bodies for each affected class like `QLocale::qt_check_for_QGADGET_macro() {}` and then rebuild.
Now I'm identifying all 17 classes that need these stub definitions and mapping them to their corresponding Qt headers so I can include the right ones in my compilation unit.

I found that `QSemaphore::tryAcquire(int n, int timeout)` is actually defined inline in the header file, which delegates to another overload using `QDeadlineTimer`. This inline definition should be available everywhere the header is included, so the undefined reference in the archive is puzzling—it suggests the inline definition might not have been properly emitted or the wrapper is somehow bypassing it.
Let me check if the entire `QSemaphore` class or this specific method is guarded by a configuration macro like `QT_CONFIG(thread)`, which could explain why the symbol isn't being generated.
Fable
QSemaphore::tryAcquire(int,int) appears defined inline at line 59. Let me look closer — it may be config-guarded.
Fable
⚙ Read {"file_path": "/opt/toolchains/qt-asyncify/6.11.1/wasm_singlethread/include/QtCore/qsemaphore.h", "limit": 70}
Fable
thinking
The `#if QT_CORE_INLINE_IMPL_SINCE(6, 6)` guard at line 59 evaluates to false during the library build, meaning the function definition gets compiled into libQt6Core.a as an out-of-line implementation rather than being inlined. So `tryAcquire(int,int)` should actually be present in the static library.
But it's not — the symbol is undefined. The culprit is that qsemaphore.cpp is entirely excluded from the build because the thread feature is disabled (`QT_CONFIG(thread)` is false), so the out-of-line definition never gets compiled. The wrapper also can't emit an inline version since the guard is false. This means QSemaphore is essentially missing from the thread-disabled Qt build.
Now I'm ch …

All the QThread and QSemaphore symbols are now resolved.

I also need to check that these new objects themselves don't introduce additional undefined symbols beyond what the archive already has.

I'm noticing the new objects are showing zero defined/undefined symbols, which is strange since earlier runs of emnm on those same object files revealed symbols. The issue might be with how I'm parsing the emnm output format — let me verify what the actual output looks like. The files are coming up empty even though running `emnm` directly on the object files shows symbols, so something's wrong with how the loop is executing. Let me isolate and re-run just that section to see what's actually happening.

The new-objects loop produced 0 — a scripting glitch (the earlier direct emnm clearly showed symbols). Let me redo it correctly.

The remaining 7 app-level symbols are all internal libc++ symbols related to shared_ptr and bad_function_call, which are provided by the standard library at link time, so they're not actual problems.
Since emcc bundles libc++ automatically, these symbols will be resolved during the final link even though they weren't in my ext_provided list. These are definitely standard library symbols—std::__2::__shared_weak_count is the shared_ptr control block and std::__2::bad_function_call comes from <functional>—so I should verify they're present in emscripten's sysroot cache to confirm they'll be resolved.

All the remaining undefined symbols are actually provided by emscripten's bundled libc++ and libc++abi, which get automatically linked in by emcc. So once I add the glue code, moc output, and stubs, there are no true application-level undefined symbols left—everything else in the remaining list is just toolchain runtime stuff like invoke functions, exception handling symbols, libc, operator new/delete, and typeinfo vtables that emcc handles automatically at link time. Let me verify one more thing...
I'm confirming that the symbols I filtered out as toolchain-provided are genuinely all covered by emscripten, libc, libc++, compiler-rt, and JavaScript exception handling. The std::__sort templa …

All 7 are provided by emscripten's bundled libc++/libc++abi (auto-linked). So zero true application-level undefined remain. Let me verify the specific KNOWN-undefined symbols from the task are now covered by the glue/moc/stubs.

I've confirmed that core_snippets.cpp and qtcorehelper.cpp define the necessary functions like PyTime_ImportAndCheck and invokeMetaMethod. Now I'm checking whether the glue translation units reference PySide symbols such as PySideEasingCurveFunctor and PySide::addPostRoutine, which appear to be coming up in the analysis.
Looking at the final computation, these symbols are actually resolved—they're provided either by the glue code itself or by libpyside_wasm.a, so they don't show up in the final undefined list. The empirical result of only 7 libc++ symbols in the final build confirms everything is clean. I'm also verifying that the moc marker approach with qt_check stubs won't create duplica …

Everything resolves. Let me do a final sanity grep on FINAL_remaining for any QtCoreHelper/QIOPipe/Q leftovers, and confirm the complete remaining set is purely toolchain + libc++.

All the remaining undefined symbols are coming from the toolchain runtime and C++ standard library, which emcc automatically provides at the final link stage. I've resolved the application-level issues by adding four glue translation units, the moc-generated file for qiopipe, and stub implementations for qgadget and qthread that cover all the missing definitions.
Now I'm ready to write out the exact build.sh modifications—I'll add the compilation steps for these new files right before the archive section, using the paths and compiler flags already defined in the script. The archive build step already globs all .o files from $OUT, so any new object files I write there will be automatically i …

I now have complete empirical ground truth. Let me compose the final answer.
Summary of findings:
- Archive undefined (raw): 3885, of which 130 remain after subtracting external providers + archive's own definitions.
- Adding the 4 glue TUs + moc'd header + 2 stub TUs reduces true application-level undefined to **0**.
- The only symbols still undefined in the archive are toolchain/stdlib symbols (`invoke_*`, `__cxa_*`, `malloc`, `operator new/delete`, `std::__2::__shared_weak_count`, `std::__2::bad_function_call`, `__cxxabiv1` typeinfo vtables, `getTempRet0`, `_pthread_cleanup_*`), all auto-provided by emcc's default libc/libc++/libc++abi/compiler-rt and JS-EH codegen at the FreeCAD final link — verified present in `/opt/toolchains/emsdk/.../libc++.a` and `libc++abi.a`.
