This example shows how to pass strings in and out of a Wasm function defined
in TinyGo, built with tinygo build -o greet.wasm -scheduler=none -target=wasi greet.go
$ go run greet.go wazero
wasm >> Hello, wazero!
go >> Hello, wazero!
Under the covers, greet.go does a few things of interest:
- Uses
unsafe.Pointer
to change a Go pointer to a numeric type. - Uses
reflect.StringHeader
to build back a string from a pointer, len pair. - Relies on TinyGo not eagerly freeing pointers returned.
