Description
While looking at produced .js files for Pyodide (pyodide.asm.js, 1.78 MB total, 293kB compressed) a lot of the size seems to be due to this function definition for each symbol, https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/e77adf8a3a79e79b666dce6d7ad0d6d3b9e94b20/emscripten.py#L671-L674 in part because the mangled name can be quite long and it's repeated 4 times there.
Would it make sense to use an equivalent of createExportWrapper instead as done a few lines above?
https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/e77adf8a3a79e79b666dce6d7ad0d6d3b9e94b20/emscripten.py#L659-L661
or even
/** @type {function(...*):?} */
var %(mangled)s = createExportWrapper("%(name)s", Module);
''' % {'mangled': mangled, 'name': name})
where createExportWrapper is currently defined only when assertions = true. I'm not saying to use createExportWrapper exactly but an equivalent simpler function with no assertions. Unless there is a reason the current solution is preferable? Thanks!
