My suggestion would be to add a new target, for example
I would suggest to do that in a separate PR, and make sure to fully support reactor mode first. |
…tor mode The entrypoint for a WebAssembly reactor module is _initialize instead of _start. Assuming that the WebAssembly runtime is not reentrant (e.g. not threaded), then this works if the //go:wasmexport calls are detected and wrapped in a function that starts the Go scheduler. When the exported function ends, all other goroutines are paused. Goroutines started in a global init() function will run while the host has called into the guest. They are paused when the guest call returns and restarted on the next call. TODO: figure out how to enable reactor mode: 1. Should it be a flag to tinygo build? 2. Should it be a build tag (e.g. -tags reactor)? 3. Should the compiler detect the omission of main.main and automatically enable reactor mode? TODO: figure out where best to wrap //go:wasmexport calls. WIP

This is an initial attempt at enabling reactor mode for WebAssembly programs, where the host can repeatedly call into the guest Wasm program via functions exported with
//go:wasmexport.The entrypoint for a WebAssembly reactor module is
_initializeinstead of_start.Assuming that the WebAssembly runtime is not reentrant (e.g. not threaded), then this works if the //go:wasmexport calls are detected and wrapped in a function that starts the Go scheduler.
When the exported function ends, all other goroutines are paused.
Goroutines started in a global init() function will run while the host has called into the guest. They are paused when the guest call returns and restarted on the next call.
