Support fuction reflect for wasm
Hi there,
We are trying to implement function reflect for wasm target. It seems wasm has some limitations stopping us to do so. Do you guys have any thoughts on this topic? Or is this an impossible mission?
BR, Terry
By fucntion reflect, I mean code like below:
package main
import "reflect"
func foo(x int) int {
return x
}
func bar(f reflect.Value) {
in := []reflect.Value{reflect.ValueOf(12345)}
out := f.Call(in)
println(out[0].Int())
}
func main() {
f := reflect.ValueOf(foo)
bar(f)
}
We do not currently support using reflection for function calls. This should eventually be supported, but this is one of the more complex pieces of functionality in reflect and nobody has quite gotten around to it. It is possible that this could be implemented by having the compiler generate wrappers.
I got the following errors while compiling. Does it relate to this issue?

No that is a seperate issue - reflect is incomplete and anything relying on complex functionality is unlikely to work yet

I met the same problem hope to fixed the problem faster
@northka I've started work on that in https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/907.
Since the issue from #907 was solved differently can this issue now be closed?
@dgryski I don't think this is actually fixed: the bug is about .Call() which is not yet supported.
It's not actually fixed yet in 0.28, function calls in reflect are not yet supported.
Any updated plans to support reflect.FuncOf? This is something we really need.
