Wasm Proposals

This document is intended to describe the current status of WebAssembly proposals and WASI proposals in WAMR.

Only track proposals that are followed in the WebAssembly proposals and WASI proposals.

Normally, the document tracks proposals that are in phase 4. However, if a proposal in an earlier phase receives support, it will be added to the list below.

The status represents the configuration product-mini/platforms/linux/CMakeLists.txt. There may be minor differences between the top-level CMakeLists and platform-specific CMakeLists.

Users can turn those features on or off by using compilation options. If a relevant compilation option is not available(N/A), it indicates that the feature is permanently enabled.
