br
The br
statement branches to a loop, block, or if.
Other variants of br
are br_if
for branching on condition, and br_table
for branching to different blocks based on an argument.
Try it
(module
;; import the browser console object, you'll need to pass this in from JavaScript
(import "console" "log" (func $log (param i32)))
;; create a global variable and initialize it to 0
(global $i (mut i32) (i32.const 0))
(func
(loop $my_loop
;; add one to $i
global.get $i
i32.const 1
i32.add
global.set $i
;; log the current value of $i
global.get $i
call $log
;; if $i is less than 10 branch to loop
global.get $i
i32.const 10
i32.lt_s
br_if $my_loop
)
)
(start 1) ;; run the first function automatically
)
const url = "{%wasm-url%}";
await WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(fetch(url), { console });
Syntax
wasm
;; label the loop so that it can be branched to
(loop $my_loop
;; branch to the loop.
;; most of the time you'll want to put this in an if statement and only branch on condition,
;; otherwise you have an infinite loop.
br $my_loop
)
