Research direction

Start by comparing the five declarations in binaryen-c.h with the available implementations and checking the build configuration for compilation or export conditions. Verify whether the missing functions are intentionally excluded or need implementations. Done means each listed function is implemented and available to the C API, or its exclusion is clearly documented.

Description

  • BinaryenStringIterNext
  • BinaryenStringIterMove
  • BinaryenStringSliceIter
  • BinaryenStringNewSetTry
  • BinaryenStringWTF8Advance

My FFI tooling breaks on those. Looks like there's no implementation, just declaration. Am I missing some compilation flags?

I've tried to find related commits (in case they were removed), but GitHub search wasn't helpful
