WebAssembly
Name section: Support label names (id 3)
I get this when running wasm-opt on the attached .wasm file
It was generated with the wat crate.
I believe name section ID 3 is for labels (names of blocks and loops inside functions). Looks like we don't support that atm, so we will drop those names after that warning (but this does not cause any other breakage, even other names still work).
No other issues in that wasm file, and looks like it optimizes well,

However, I see this:
warning: active memory segments have overlap, which prevents some optimizations.
@jrmuizel perhaps the generator can avoid that issue, specifically,
(data $0 (i32.const 512) "true")
(data $1 (i32.const 516) "false")
(data $2 (i32.const 520) "\n")
Note how segment $1 overlaps with $2 ("false" is 5 characters, so it writes to 520).
When I run wasm-opt --enable-gc --enable-reference-types binary-trees.wasm -o /tmp/out.wasm the resulting out.wasm doesn't have a names section:
$ wasm-objdump -h /tmp/out.wasm

which I assumed was because of the warning. Should it be there?
wasm-opt does not emit the names section by default (to avoid the risk of shipping wasted bytes in production). Use -g to get it:
