| <p>This document defines a generic mechanism for attaching arbitrary metadata to WebAssembly instructions. |
| Additionally, it defines specific metadata formats using this mechanism.</p> |
| <p>Such metadata does not contribute to, or otherwise affect, the WebAssembly semantics, and may be ignored by an implementation.</p> |
| <p>However, it can provides useful information that implementations can make use of to improve user experience or take compilation hints.</p> |
| <section id="dependencies"> |
| <h2>Dependencies<a class="headerlink" href="#dependencies" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2> |
| <p>This document is based on the WebAssembly core specification (<a class="reference external" href="https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/">https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/</a>), and makes use of |
| terms and definitions described there. These uses always link to the corresponding definition |
| in the core specification.</p> |
