Detailed Description

A WebAssembly global.

This class represents a WebAssembly global, either created through instantiating a module or a host global. Globals contain a WebAssembly value and can be read and optionally written to.

Note that this type does not itself own any resources. It points to resources owned within a Store and the Store must be passed in as the first argument to the functions defined on Global. Note that if the wrong Store is passed in then the process will be aborted.

Examples

externref.cc.

Member Function Documentation

create()

static Result< Global > wasmtime::Global::create ( Store::Context  cx, const GlobalType &  ty, const Val &  init  )

inlinestatic

Create a new WebAssembly global.

Parameters

cx	the store in which to create the global
ty	the type that this global will have
init	the initial value of the global

This function can fail if init does not have a value that matches ty.

set()

Result< std::monostate > wasmtime::Global::set ( Store::Context  cx, const Val &  val  ) const

inline

Sets this global to a new value.

This can fail if val has the wrong type or if this global isn't mutable.

Examples

externref.cc.
