Just for fun, I tried asking ChatGPT:
[[Please write some Javascript code which stores the state of a WebAssembly instance to a byte array.]] // First, create a WebAssembly instance and obtain a reference to its memory object const wasmInstance = new WebAssembly.Instance(wasmModule); const memory = wasmInstance.exports.memory; // Next, create a JavaScript typed array to hold the contents of the memory object const memoryArray = new Uint8Array(memory.buffer); // Finally, use the copy method to copy the contents of the memory object to the typed array memory.copy(memoryArray); [[Thanks. Could you also write some Javascript code which creates a new WebAssembly instance and uses this byte array to restore the previous state?]] // First, create a WebAssembly module using the WebAssembly.compile function const wasmModule = await WebAssembly.compile(wasmCode); // Next, create a new WebAssembly instance and obtain a reference to its memory object const wasmInstance = new WebAssembly.Instance(wasmModule); const memory = wasmInstance.exports.memory; // Use the copy method to copy the contents of the byte array into the memory object of the WebAssembly instance memory.copy(byteArray); // Now, the WebAssembly instance has been restored to the previous state //...It is important to note that the byte array must be the same size as the memory object of the WebAssembly instance, and it must contain a valid snapshot of the state of the WebAssembly instance. If the byte array is not the correct size or does not contain a valid snapshot, the WebAssembly instance may not be restored correctly. I haven’t had a chance to give it a try yet. Does it look reasonable? Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "emscripten-discuss" group.
