This gist is part of my article “Emscripten’s embind”.

Build it with

$ emcc -s EXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS='["cwrap"]' -O3 nobind.cpp

or

$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/src trzeci/emscripten emcc -s EXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS='["cwrap"]' -O3 nobind.cpp

@surma Thank you for sharing the example. Your blogs related to WebAssembly are useful and knowledgeable.

Related to this example, I have one doubt.
In file nobind.html, and in function exclaim(str), memory pointed by p and p2 should be freed after the usage. Otherwise, there will be memory leak. Is that correct ?
