weval: the WebAssembly partial evaluator

weval partially evaluates WebAssembly snapshots to turn interpreters into compilers (see Futamura projection for more).

weval binaries are available via releases on this repo or via an npm package.

Usage of weval is like:

$ weval weval -w -i program.wasm -o wevaled.wasm

which runs Wizer on program.wasm to obtain a snapshot, then processes any weval requests (function specialization requests) in the resulting heap image, appending the specialized functions and filling in function pointers in wevaled.wasm.

See the API in include/weval.h for more.
