Changelog

[Unreleased]

• #1212 Add support for GDB JIT debugging:
  • Add --generate-debug-info and -g flags to wasmer run to generate debug information during compilation. The debug info is passed via the GDB JIT interface to a debugger to allow source-level debugging of Wasm files. Currently only available on clif-backend.
  • Break public middleware APIs: there is now a source_loc parameter that should be passed through if applicable.
  • Break compiler trait methods such as feed_local, feed_event as well as ModuleCodeGenerator::finalize.
