function and variable names in wasm

[craste...@gmail.com]

When I try to debug a problem in the wasm code in a browser (Chrome, Win10, 64bit) the browser's debug window shows me the code.  But the names are all replaced with things like "func513" and "var2".   Is there a flag that I can pass to emcc to ask it to build with the original names?

Also, I noticed that the code view window in the browser will only show up to 5000 or so lines of code.  After that, they just say "..."  Is there a way to change that?

The normal `-g` flag should be enough.  Or you can use the more specific `--profiling-funcs` flag to just get the function names (which should me fast to build).   That just gives you function names though.  If you want variable names you will need try the recently added support for DWARF.   (google "emscripten dwarf debugging" for more on that).     However just having function names is often a good start an very simple to enable.

cheers,
