I'm playing with wasm, I wrote a small module where I'd like to make the function available but wasm can't find this function.

math.d

>module math;
>extern(C):
>int mul(int a, int b) { return a *  b;}

wasm.d


>public import math;
>extern(C): // disable D mangling
>void doSomething() { ... } // seems to be the required entry point
>void _start() {}

start.html:

<html>
  <head>
    <script>
    (async() => {
        const response = await fetch('wasm.wasm');
        const bytes = await response.arrayBuffer();
        const { instance } = await WebAssembly.instantiate(bytes);
        const res =  instance.exports.mul(2, 4);
        console.log('The answer is: ' + res);
        document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "The result is: " + res;
      })();
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    Test page
    <h1 id="result"></h1>
  </body>
</html>

the exported function fails to find 'mul' function, as I can see from the browser's console:

>start.html:8 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: instance.exports.mul is not a >function at start.html:8

can I make it public using D or do I have to import the wanted module with javascript?

I'm compiling with

> ldc2 -mtriple=wasm32-unknow-unknow-wasm -betterC wasm.d

mark it `export` as well

and then be sure you are compiling in this module as well, it must be included on the ldc command line along with wasm.d
