This is a draft PR implementing a Wasm ESM Integration PR for global unwrapping in WebAssembly/esm-integration#104.
Opening here as a draft only for feedback and discussion, as it helps to have a concrete implementation for understanding and experimentation.
With this change, WebAssembly namespaces exporting globals have the global value provided directly on the namespace exports, instead of exporting
WebAssembly.Global
requiring aglobal.value
getter access in turn to retrieve the underlying binding. With this, Wasm namespaces can effectively export any JS binding type when using Wasm GC, instead of justMemory
,Table
,Function
andGlobal
.We do this by unwrapping the global on the Wasm namespace exports interface, while still linking Wasm - Wasm imports to the underlying global. Ideally this would support live exported bindings as well, but that would require V8 work in turn.
