💅 WABT — the wasm-validate era

okay so real talk, this page is from the WABT manual (General Commands Manual, bestie, we're fancy), and it's all about one iconic little tool. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

wasm-validate — literally just validates a file in the WebAssembly binary format. that's the whole job. she's a vibe checker for your .wasm files 🔥

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

wasm-validate [options] filename

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so wasm-validate reads a file in the WebAssembly binary format and validates it. that's it. that's the post. she reads it, she checks it, she tells you if it's giving valid or not 💀 no cap.

the options are as follows — and yes we're going through ALL of them, don't scroll past:

  • --help — prints this help message. the classic "help me help you" moment 🫶
  • --version — prints version information. iykyk, you gotta know what you're running ✨
  • -v, --verbose — use it multiple times for more info. stack 'em like bracelets, the more the chattier 🌈
  • --disable-exceptions — disables Experimental exception handling
  • --disable-mutable-globals — disables Import/export mutable globals
  • --disable-saturating-float-to-int — disables Saturating float-to-int operators
  • --disable-sign-extension — disables Sign-extension operators
  • --disable-simd — disables SIMD support
  • --enable-threads — enables Threading support. threading! multitasking queen 👑
  • --enable-function-references — enables Typed function references
  • --disable-multi-value — disables Multi-value
  • --disable-tail-call — disables Tail-call support
  • --disable-bulk-memory — disables Bulk-memory operations
  • --disable-reference-types — disables Reference types (externref)
  • --disable-annotations — disables Custom annotation syntax
  • --enable-code-metadata — enables Code metadata
  • --enable-gc — enables Garbage collection. she cleans up after herself, we love that 🧚
  • --disable-memory64 — disables 64-bit memory
  • --disable-multi-memory — disables Multi-memory
  • --disable-extended-const — disables Extended constant expressions
  • --disable-relaxed-simd — disables Relaxed SIMD
  • --enable-custom-page-sizes — enables Custom page sizes
  • --enable-compact-imports — enables Compact import section
  • --enable-wide-arithmetic — enables Wide arithmetic
  • --enable-all — enables all features. the "yes to everything" button, the main character choice 🌟
  • --no-debug-names — ignores debug names in the binary file
ngl the naming pattern is a little chaotic — some are --disable-*, some are --enable-*, and that's just how she is. copy them exactly, don't @ me 🙈

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

validate binary file test.wasm:

$ wasm-validate test.wasm

like, that's the whole ritual. chef's kiss 💅
