Description JF Bastien 2016-12-26 16:51:05 PST
We have createJSToWasmWrapper as well as WebAssemblyFunction::call. We should merge the two, probably to B3 code or MacroAssembler code.
Comment 1 JF Bastien 2016-12-26 16:52:01 PST
Let's also figure out what vmEntryToWasm should be.
Comment 2 JF Bastien 2017-01-02 17:31:45 PST
We should also consider optimizing as discussed here:
