binaryen reviews and mentions

• Beating the Compiler

  I'm not sure there is a clear separation between applying heuristics and searching a space. Often in compilers you search a subset of a space using heuristics, and you can adjust those to control how much of the space you cover.

  For example, here is a pass that reorders WebAssembly globals in Binaryen:

  https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/blob/main/src/passes...

  We have a simple criteria for the quality of a solution - how big the binary size is with an order - but the space of possible orders is huge (every permutation that keeps every global after its dependencies). What we do is a targeted search of that space using some heuristics using parameters that work well enough and aren't too slow in practice.

• Random Testing of WebAssembly Implementations Using Semantically Valid Programs
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Aug 2023

  The end of the related work section cites both wasm-smith and the Binaryen fuzzer (https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/wiki/Fuzzing) and says, "They both provide a fuzzer that turns a stream of bytes into a WebAssembly module in order to test implementations. Their fuzzers always generate semantically valid test cases, but lack the targeting and tuning that Xsmith provides."

  I look forward to reading more about how they do the targeting and tuning.

  Probably https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/, there were various rust bindings to it.

• Build a WebAssembly Language for Fun and Profit: Code Generation
  2 projects | dev.to | 2 Sep 2022

  The final phase of our compiler is code generation. This phase takes the AST and converts it to a set of executable instructions. In our case, WebAssembly. To accomplish this, we are going to use a popular WebAssembly compiler toolchain called binaryen.

• Build a WebAssembly Language for Fun and Profit: Lexing

  In this guide, we will be using TypeScript and NodeJS. The concepts are highly portable, so feel free to use the environment you're most comfortable with. Our only major dependency, binaryen, has a simple C API. You are welcome to skip ahead to the next section if you're using a different language.

• Rust and WebAssembly without a Bundler

  What are the size and performance benefits of processing the Wasm payload with wasm-opt?

• Is WebAssembly Text (WAT) Just Another IR?
  2 projects | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 16 Jun 2022

  I would recommend looking into binaryen as it has it's own IR and can perform optimizations over it. It's also simpler than LLVM and has the option to produce binaries with debug names.
