WebAssembly Intrumentation Library (WAIL)
Overview
WAIL is a Javascript library for instrumenting WebAssemby binaries from within the browser. WAIL is designed to handle large WASM binaries quickly and memory-efficiently.

Basic Usage
Adding Section Entries
WAIL can add elements to almost any specification-defined section. (Exceptions are TABLE, MEMORY, and START sections since each only contains one element in the MVP)
Adding TYPE Section Entry
const parser = new WailParser(bufferSource);
const newTypeEntry = parser.addTypeEntry({
form: "func",
params: [ "i32", "f32" ],
return: "i32"
});Adding IMPORT Section Entry
Entries in some sections require references to other sections. In this example, we create a TYPE entry and use it as part of our newly-created IMPORT entry.
const parser = new WailParser(bufferSource);
const newTypeEntry = parser.addTypeEntry({
form: "func",
params: [],
});
const newImportEntry = parser.addImportEntry({
moduleStr: "moduleName",
fieldStr: "fieldName",
kind: "func",
type: newTypeEntry
});Adding FUNCTION and CODE Section Entries
const parser = new WailParser(bufferSource);
const newTypeEntry = parser.addTypeEntry({
form: "func",
params: [],
});
const newFuncEntry = parser.addFunctionEntry({
type: newTypeEntry,
});
parser.addCodeEntry({
locals: [ "i32" ],
code: [ OP_RETURN, OP_END ]
});Adding GLOBAL Section Entry
const parser = new WailParser(bufferSource);
const newGlobalEntry = parser.addGlobalEntry({
globalType: {
contentType: "i32",
mutability: true,
},
initExpr: [ OP_I32_CONST, VarUint32(0x00), OP_END ]
});Adding EXPORT Section Entry
const parser = new WailParser(bufferSource);
const adjustedFunctionIndex = parser.getFunctionIndex(1000);
parser.addExportEntry({
fieldStr: "fieldStr",
kind: "func",
index: adjustedFunctionIndex,
});Adding ELEMENT Section Entry
const parser = new WailParser(bufferSource);
const adjustedFunctionIndex = parser.getFunctionIndex(1000);
parser.addElementEntry({
index: 0,
offset: [ OP_I32_CONST, VarUint32(0), OP_END ],
elems: [
adjustedFunctionIndex
]
});Adding DATA Section Entry
const parser = new WailParser(bufferSource);
parser.addDataEntry({
index: 0,
offset: [ OP_I32_CONST, VarUint32(0), OP_END ],
data: [ "hello world" ]
});Referencing Function/Global Indexes
You may have noticed in the examples above we use getFunctionIndex() before any function indexes we plan on using. This is because some modifications will change the function or global tables, causing these indexes to change.
As such, it is highly recommended that you use these two functions rather than referencing any function indexes by directly their index.
const adjustedGlobalIndex = parser.getGlobalIndex(10);
const adjustedFunctionIndex = parser.getFunctionIndex(1000);
