description of Wasm

description::
· WebAssembly-(Wasm) is a low-level, assembly-like programing-language understood by javascript-runtimes, browsers and Node.js.
· it is an intermediate language, between a-high|middle-level and a-machine programing-language.
[hmnSgm.2018-05-20]
===
"The name WebAsssembly is actually a bit of a misnomer because it’s a statically typed instruction format targeting stack based virtual machines which is much higher level representation in constrast with your typical register based assembly."

'Machine Types
WebAssembly has only four basic value types t, all of which are available in common hardware.
These are integers and IEEE 754 floating point numbers, each in 32 and 64 bit width.
32 bit integers can be used as addresses in the linear memory (Section 2.2), and indexes into function tables (Section 2.4).
Most WebAssembly instructions simply execute operators on values of these basic data types.
The grammar in Figure 1 conveniently distinguishes several categories, such as unary and binary operators, tests and comparisons.
WebAssembly provides conversions between all four types, and the ability to reinterpret the bits of values across equally-sized types.
Like common hardware, WebAssembly has no distinction between signed and unsigned integer types.
Instead, when the signedness of values matters to an instruction, a sign extension suffix u or s selects either unsigned or 2's complement signed behavior.'

sem-unit.TABLE

description::
A table is similar to a linear memory whose elements, instead of being bytes, are opaque values of a particular table element type.
This allows the table to contain values—like GC references, raw OS handles, or native pointers—that are accessed by WebAssembly code indirectly through an integer index.
This feature bridges the gap between low-level, untrusted linear memory and high-level opaque handles/references at the cost of a bounds-checked table indirection.

===
· tables are basically resizable arrays of references that can-be-accessed by index from WebAssembly-code.
[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/Understanding_the_text_format]

control-instruction.STRUCTURED

description::
· the block, loop and if instructions are structured-instructions.
· they bracket nested sequences of instructions, called blocks, terminated with, or separated by, end or else pseudo-instructions.
· as the-grammar prescribes, they must-be-well-nested.
· a-structured-instruction can-produce a-value as described by the annotated result-type.

label of structured-control-instruction

description::
· each structured-control-instruction introduces an implicit label.
· labels are targets for branch-instructions that reference them with label indices.
· unlike with other index-spaces, indexing of labels is relative by nesting depth, that is, label 0 refers to the innermost structured-control-instruction enclosing the referring branch-instruction, while increasing indices refer to those farther out.
· consequently, labels can only be-referenced from within the associated structured-control-instruction.
· this also implies that branches can only be-directed outwards, “breaking” from the-block of the-control-construct they target.
· the exact effect depends on that control-construct.
· in case of block or if it is a forward jump, resuming execution after the matching end.
· in case of loop it is a backward jump to the-beginning of the-loop.

· integer loads and stores can optionally specify a storage size that is smaller than the bit width of the respective value-type.
· in the-case of loads, a-sign-extension-mode-sx-(u|s) is then required to select appropriate behavior.
· the-static-address offset is added to the-dynamic-address operand, yielding a 33-bit effective-address that is the zero-based index at which the-memory is-accessed.
· all values are read and written in little-endian-byte-order.
· a-trap results if any of the accessed memory bytes lies outside the address range implied by the memory's current size.
· note: future version of WebAssembly might-provide memory-instructions with 64-bit address ranges.

section.07-EXPORT

description::

[https://github.com/sunfishcode/wasm-reference-manual/blob/master/WebAssembly.md#export-section]
===
· the-export-section declares any parts of the-module that can-be-accessed by the-host-environment, not-including the special start-function, which we will get to in a just a few sentences.
("half" (func 1))
· the-above would-export function-1 as “half”.
· if we look at the-function-section above, we can-see that func #1’s type is func_type #1, so the-host-environment will see this as:
function half(arg0 :int64) :int64
· in addition to functions, modules can also export tables, memory-segments and global-variables to the-outside-world.

description::
An exciting aspect of WebAssembly is that it wasn’t made to be a substitute for JavaScript but to work alongside it.
At the same time, this combination can provide the performance of typed/compiled languages and the flexibility of JavaScript.
Using the WebAssembly API on JavaScript, you can load modules WASM on JS application and share functionalities between them.
[{2018-04-02} Willian-Martins, https://hackernoon.com/webassembly-the-journey-what-is-wasm-caf9871108aa]
===
WebAssembly is faster than JavaScript in many cases because:
* fetching WebAssembly takes less time because it is more compact than JavaScript, even when compressed,
* decoding WebAssembly takes less time than parsing JavaScript,
* compiling and optimizing takes less time because WebAssembly is closer to machine code than JavaScript and already has gone through optimization on the server side,
* reoptimizing doesn’t need to happen because WebAssembly has types and other information built in, so the JS engine doesn’t need to speculate when it optimizes the way it does with JavaScript,
* executing often takes less time because there are fewer compiler tricks and gotchas that the developer needs to know to write consistently performant code, plus WebAssembly’s set of instructions are more ideal for machines,
* garbage collection is not required since the memory is managed manually,
This is why, in many cases, WebAssembly will outperform JavaScript when doing the same task.
There are some cases where WebAssembly doesn’t perform as well as expected, and there are also some changes on the horizon that will make it faster.

grammar.BINARY

description::
· the-binary-format for WebAssembly-modules is a dense linear encoding of their abstract-syntax. [ 1 ]
· the-format is-defined by an-attribute-grammar whose only terminal-symbols are bytes.
· a byte sequence is a-well-formed-encoding-of-a-module if and only if it is-generated by the-grammar.
· each production of this grammar has exactly one synthesized-attribute: the-abstract-syntax that the respective byte sequence encodes.
· thus, the-attribute-grammar implicitly defines a-decoding-function.
· except for a few exceptions, the-binary-grammar closely mirrors the-grammar-of-the-abstract-syntax.

· note: some phrases of abstract-syntax have multiple possible encodings in the-binary-format.
· for example, numbers may-be-encoded as if they had optional leading zeros.
· implementations of decoders must-support all possible alternatives; implementations of encoders can-pick any allowed encoding.

· the recommended extension for files containing WebAssembly-modules in binary-format is “.wasm” and the recommended Media-Type is “application/wasm”.

· [1] additional encoding layers – for example, introducing compression – may-be-defined on top of the basic representation defined here. However, such layers are outside the-scope of the current specification.

identifier-context of text-grammar

description::
· the-text-format allows to use symbolic-identifiers in place of indices.
· to resolve these identifiers into concrete indices, some grammar production are-indexed by an-identifier-context-I as a-synthesized-attribute that records the declared identifiers in each index-space.
· in addition, the-context records the-types defined in the-module, so that parameter indices can-be-computed for functions.

· it is convenient to define identifier-contexts as records I with abstract-syntax as follows:
- I ::= {types (id?)∗,
funcs (id?)∗,
tables (id?)∗,
mems (id?)∗,
globals (id?)∗,
locals (id?)∗,
labels (id?)∗,
typedefs functype∗ }

· for each index-space, such a-context contains the list of identifiers assigned to the defined indices.
· unnamed indices are-associated with empty (ϵ) entries in these lists.

· an-identifier-context is well-formed if no index-space contains duplicate identifiers.

description::
Instantiation. A module instance is the dynamic representation of a module, complete with its own state and execution stack. Instantiation executes the module body itself, given definitions for all its imports. It initializes globals, memories and tables and invokes the module’s start function if defined. It returns the instances of the module’s exports.
