Description
Until recently the way to specify a non-growable memory was to specify both --initial-memory
and --max-memory
and set them to the same value. This is what emscripten currently does by default unless you opt into -sALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH
.
However, we recently added a new --initial-heap
flag which allows the user to set and initial heap size and have the linker then derive the initial memory size based on the sum of stack size + heap size + static data size. See #75594.
When attempting to start using this flag in emscripten we discovered that there is no way to use the --initial-heap
flag and still get a non-growable memory. See https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/pull/21071/files#r1491731562.
It seems that we need some kind of flag like the existing --growable-table
flag. It would be nice to add --growable-memory
except that would mean changing the default to non-growable, which is perhaps too much of a breaking change. @sunfishcode WDYT?
Instead perhaps we can add --no-growable-memory
?
Perhaps the existing --growable-table
flag could also take a no-
prefix so that they were symmetrical?
