@irongeek/binaryen v0.1.0
This package will download, compile, and install the WebAssembly Binaryen toolchain from https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen as NPM global executables
Prerequisites
Installation
npm install -g @irongeek/binaryen📌 NOTE
Please give it some time to finish... 🙏
Depends on your computer specs, the installation process might take a while, and because NPM suppresses all output from custom install script (unless exception is thrown), the process might seems like it's stuck or hanging while it's actually busy compiling the binaries.
Included Tools
| Tools | Description |
|---|---|
wasm-opt | Loads WebAssembly and runs Binaryen IR passes on it |
wasm-as | Assembles WebAssembly in text format (currently S-Expression format) into binary format (going through Binaryen IR) |
wasm-dis | Un-assembles WebAssembly in binary format into text format (going through Binaryen IR) |
wasm2js | A WebAssembly-to-JS compiler. This is used by Emscripten to generate JavaScript as an alternative to WebAssembly |
wasm-reduce | A testcase reducer for WebAssembly files. Given a wasm file that is interesting for some reason (say, it crashes a specific VM), wasm-reduce can find a smaller wasm file that has the same property, which is often easier to debug. See the docs for more details |
wasm-shell | A shell that can load and interpret WebAssembly code. It can also run the spec test suite |
wasm-emscripten-finalize | Takes a wasm binary produced by llvm+lld and performs emscripten-specific passes over it |
wasm-ctor-eval | A tool that can execute C++ global constructors ahead of time. Used by Emscripten |
Known Issues
Must be run under bourne shell (sh) compatible terminal.
May or may not work on Windows using Windows Subsystem for Linux.
