Optional String Encoding of Memory

Open Joshhua5 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

The memory layout of WASM strings compiled with AssemblyScript is in UTF16 format, while the memory.readstring functions are all hard coded to UTF8. https://github.com/AssemblyScript/assemblyscript/issues/1653

Providing an optional override for this format would be helpful, the temporary workaround is to encode strings within wasm, but ideally this could be avoided.

Hi @Joshhua5. I agree that it'd be best to have overloads to these methods that accept the encoding.

Would you like to contribute a patch for that? I would be happy to review it!
