Possibility to dynamically add memories at runtime? #19
Description
Activity
Dynamic memory creation would essentially require first-class memories, i.e., a sort of
memoryreftype and corresponding instructions. That is certainly a useful feature, but far more involved (both design and implementation-wise), and hence out of scope for the current proposal. This one is merely a straightforward generalisation of the existing memory semantics that mirrors what we already did for tables.Closing this since it's out of scope of this proposal.
I couldn't figure out the answer by reading the overview.
Is it planned to be able for host functions to add more memories to an already-running Wasm instance?
There are a couple of use cases that would need this:
mmap.Might be related to #9
