Reflecting on this, a zero byte might be a bit clunky, and we are generally inconsistent on using them these days. I'm OK closing this issue.

(Just to weigh in on the bikeshedding of the name). I think the name should connote its rough hardware effect rather than its use, because people end up finding new...

Hello, as a Wasm founder I am very excited to see this being considered as a future direction for Android. Generally, WebAssembly has matured and expanded from its web roots...

One of the more compelling use cases I've stumbled on is virtualizing interfaces that use memory. E.g. implementing a Wasm module that has an imported memory from the "user", which...

Is this discussion is just about the LLVM internal representation? At the C or C++ level these would still be address space annotations on pointer types?

> At the C or C++ level these would most likely be new annotations like `__attribute__((wasm_memory))`, since clang would also have to check a bunch of semantic restrictions (such as...

It would be doable and make an interesting experiment for comparing the JVM, native, CLR, and Wasm, on the same programs. As a priority though, I'd like to work on...

Would it be possible that Binaryen track the point in a block after which code is unreachable and then avoid adding new instructions to that region, or is the issue...

FWIW I don't think this is a particularly hard change in Wizard's validator; there is literally only one instruction affected, which is `local.get`, and the control stack entries are annotated...

What @keithw said. Note that his suggestion is just one possible implementation strategy. It would also be possible to reference-count them, since they cannot form cycles. A tracing of GC...
