dump translated bytecode for fast interpreter

[yamt]

for debugging etc, it would be great to have a way to dump translated bytecode in a human readable format. i feel WASM_DEBUG_PREPROCESSOR is a bit too primitive.

Hi, it may be a little complex to dump the pre-compiled bytecode with well-formed human readable format, is it good to dump the opcode mnemonics instead of the hex value? Here is the patch:

And the output is like:

Processing func | [0] params | [0] locals | [0] return

emit_op [WASM_OP_END]
delete last op

emit_op [WASM_OP_END]

is it good to dump the opcode mnemonics instead of the hex value?

yes, it's nice. i'm also thinking to process "delete last op" automatically by having a one-line buffer.
