call
call
calls a function, return_call
being the tail-call version of it. call_indirect
calls a function in a table with the return_call_indirect
tail-call version as well.
Examples
Calling the greet
function imported from JavaScript using call
:
Try it
(module
;; Import the `greet` function from the environment
(import "env" "greet" (func $greet))
(func
;; Call the imported `greet` function
call $greet
)
;; Automatically run the first function when the module starts
(start 1)
)
const url = "{%wasm-url%}";
await WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(fetch(url), {
env: {
greet: function () {
console.log("Hello");
// Expected output: "Hello"
},
},
});
Calculating factorial for a number using return_call
and logging the result using the exported fac
function:
Try it
(module
;; Calculate the factorial of a number
(func $fac (export "fac") (param $x i64) (result i64)
;; Call the `fac-aux` function with $x and 1 parameters
(return_call $fac-aux (local.get $x) (i64.const 1))
)
;; Perform the factorial calculation
(func $fac-aux (param $x i64) (param $r i64) (result i64)
;; If $x is zero, return the accumulated result $r
(if (result i64) (i64.eqz (local.get $x))
(then (return (local.get $r)))
(else
;; Otherwise, recursively call `fac-aux` with $x-1 and $x*$r
(return_call $fac-aux
(i64.sub (local.get $x) (i64.const 1))
(i64.mul (local.get $x) (local.get $r))
)
)
)
)
)
const url = "{%wasm-url%}";
const { instance } = await WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(fetch(url));
const result = instance.exports.fac(5n);
console.log(result);
// Expected output: 120n
