Starting up

[Kulkarni, Atul]

Hi Alon,

I am starting up with web assembly with no prior experience and have played around with some basic examples with and without emscripten.

Some basic questions:

1. My original concept of using wasm is to write multiple wasm modules for different computational tasks and keep as a library of wasm modules. Do you think that it makes sense?

2. As a concept this at least seems possible without enscripten as I can create SIDE_MODULEs and load using instantiateStreaming and instance.exports list. But this approach without emscripten generated JS is going to be tough to manage as I will have to do memory management myself with constantly updating webassembly as I understand.

3. With emscripten js/wasm pair, as I understand, memory management task is offloaded to emscripten. It is great. But I see few limitations/restrictions:

• The emscripten js script needs to be loaded in root index.html under <script> tags. Why is it not flexible to be loaded dynamically as and when required? Let's say I want to load different wasm modules in different angular components.
• How could I load multiple modules (wasm, js pairs) both alive at the same time? It appears that the latest wasm, js pair seems to be overwriting the earlier one. The command used to create these pairs is emcc demo.c -s WASM=1 -O2 -o demo.js
• Would you point to any working examples for above if this is at all possible.

Regards,

Atul

Have you looked at the `-s MODULARIZE` option?  I think that is what you are looking for if you want multiple modules on the same page.
