Too much noise from `write_constant` #7

Closed Rerumu closed 2 years ago

Rerumu commented 2 years ago

The WebAssembly specification is not very clear on what a well-formed constant looks like, or how many constant instructions it may allow. As such, right now write_constant implementations for offsets and other values end up creating an entire function just to call it and receive its value.

This makes would would otherwise be 1 line (the expression of the constant) turn into at least 5 lines. It would be great if all this noise could be removed without breaking any unspoken rules.
