WebAssembly via d8.exe

Question

I posted this question here because I asked this question as part of another post, but found the solution before anyone answered it. Just want to share my findings.

I decided to try d8.exe only because I want to play around with WebAssembly don't feel like installing Chrome Canary. Still trying to figure out how to load .wasm file into d8.exe since I can't use XMLHttpRequest or fetch to read the binary files.

Answer 1

My findings:

• Enable WebAssembly in d8.exe with --expose_wasm flag.
• Use binaryen to convert hand-written .wast to .wasm.
• Use binaryen.js to compile string into wasm inside d8.exe.
• Read .wasm with readbuffer.
• WebAssembly's JavaScript API can be found in https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/JS.md
