Load

The load instructions, are used to load a number from memory onto the stack.

For the integer numbers, you can also load a narrower number from memory and extend it into a wider type, e.g. load a unsigned 8 bit number and convert it into a i32 (i32.load8_u). These instructions are separate for signed and unsigned numbers.

Syntax

;; the offset from where to load the number
i32.const 0

;; load the number at position 0
memory.load
