Absolutely! You can even run clang in wasm targeting x86_64, and then emulate the resulting program using the blink x86_64 emulator.

I'm working on something similar, where students can compile intel assembly and run it client-side: https://github.com/robalb/x86-64-playground

See: emception

Thanks, I'm seeing but the documentation is so scarce and I'm not a proefficient C expert.

What syntax can be used to run emception? Thank you.

It’s sadly a bit more of a proof of concept than a hackable project. The docker build in the readme did work last time I tried, and there is a demo site at https://jprendes.github.io/emception/, but I’ve failed to modify it in the past to do other things

There is a fork at https://github.com/emception/emception that is trying to make it more production ready, but it looks like that may have stalled

I guess the search for compiling C++ on some kind of bytecode continues. Thanks a bunch for the links and details, much appreciated.

Definitely been possible for at least 5 years now. Would probably be a weekend project now.
