Modules
-------
For modules, the execution semantics primarily defines :ref:`instantiation <exec-instantiation>`, which :ref:`allocates <alloc>` instances for a module and its contained definitions, initializes :ref:`tables <syntax-table>` and :ref:`memories <syntax-mem>` from contained :ref:`element <syntax-elem>` and :ref:`data <syntax-data>` segments, and invokes the :ref:`start function <syntax-start>` if present. It also includes :ref:`invocation <exec-invocation>` of exported functions.
Instantiation depends on a number of auxiliary notions for :ref:`type-checking imports <exec-import>` and :ref:`allocating <alloc>` instances.
.. index:: external value, external type, validation, import, store
.. _valid-externval:
External Typing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the purpose of checking :ref:`external values <syntax-externval>` against :ref:`imports <syntax-import>`,
such values are classified by :ref:`external types <syntax-externtype>`.
The following auxiliary typing rules specify this typing relation relative to a :ref:`store <syntax-store>` :math:`S` in which the referenced instances live.
.. index:: function type, function address
.. _valid-externval-func:
:math:`\EVFUNC~a`
.................
* The store entry :math:`S.\SFUNCS[a]` must exist.
* Then :math:`\EVFUNC~a` is valid with :ref:`external type <syntax-externtype>` :math:`\ETFUNC~S.\SFUNCS[a].\FITYPE`.
.. math::
\frac{
}{
S \vdashexternval \EVFUNC~a : \ETFUNC~S.\SFUNCS[a].\FITYPE
}
.. index:: table type, table address
.. _valid-externval-table:
:math:`\EVTABLE~a`
..................
* The store entry :math:`S.\STABLES[a]` must exist.
* Then :math:`\EVTABLE~a` is valid with :ref:`external type <syntax-externtype>` :math:`\ETTABLE~S.\STABLES[a].\TITYPE`.
.. math::
\frac{
}{
S \vdashexternval \EVTABLE~a : \ETTABLE~S.\STABLES[a].\TITYPE
}
.. index:: memory type, memory address
.. _valid-externval-mem:
:math:`\EVMEM~a`
................
* The store entry :math:`S.\SMEMS[a]` must exist.
* Then :math:`\EVMEM~a` is valid with :ref:`external type <syntax-externtype>` :math:`\ETMEM~S.\SMEMS[a].\MITYPE`.
.. math::
\frac{
}{
S \vdashexternval \EVMEM~a : \ETMEM~S.\SMEMS[a].\MITYPE
}
.. index:: global type, global address, value type, mutability
.. _valid-externval-global:
:math:`\EVGLOBAL~a`
...................
* The store entry :math:`S.\SGLOBALS[a]` must exist.
* Then :math:`\EVGLOBAL~a` is valid with :ref:`external type <syntax-externtype>` :math:`\ETGLOBAL~S.\SGLOBALS[a].\GITYPE`.
.. math::
\frac{
}{
S \vdashexternval \EVGLOBAL~a : \ETGLOBAL~S.\SGLOBALS[a].\GITYPE
}
.. index:: value, value type, validation
.. _valid-val:
Value Typing
~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the purpose of checking argument :ref:`values <syntax-externval>` against the parameter types of exported :ref:`functions <syntax-func>`,
values are classified by :ref:`value types <syntax-valtype>`.
The following auxiliary typing rules specify this typing relation relative to a :ref:`store <syntax-store>` :math:`S` in which possibly referenced addresses live.
.. _valid-num:
:ref:`Numeric Values <syntax-val>` :math:`t.\CONST~c`
.....................................................
* The value is valid with :ref:`number type <syntax-numtype>` :math:`t`.
.. math::
\frac{
}{
S \vdashval t.\CONST~c : t
}
.. _valid-ref:
:ref:`Null References <syntax-ref>` :math:`\REFNULL~t`
......................................................
* The value is valid with :ref:`reference type <syntax-reftype>` :math:`t`.
.. math::
\frac{
}{
S \vdashval \REFNULL~t : t
}
:ref:`Function References <syntax-ref>` :math:`\REFFUNCADDR~a`
..............................................................
* The :ref:`external value <syntax-externval>` :math:`\EVFUNC~a` must be :ref:`valid <valid-externval>`.
* Then the value is valid with :ref:`reference type <syntax-reftype>` :math:`\FUNCREF`.
.. math::
\frac{
S \vdashexternval \EVFUNC~a : \ETFUNC~\functype
}{
S \vdashval \REFFUNCADDR~a : \FUNCREF
}
:ref:`External References <syntax-ref.extern>` :math:`\REFEXTERNADDR~a`
.......................................................................
* The value is valid with :ref:`reference type <syntax-reftype>` :math:`\EXTERNREF`.
.. math::
\frac{
}{
S \vdashval \REFEXTERNADDR~a : \EXTERNREF
}
.. index:: ! allocation, store, address
.. _alloc:
Allocation
~~~~~~~~~~
New instances of :ref:`functions <syntax-funcinst>`, :ref:`tables <syntax-tableinst>`, :ref:`memories <syntax-meminst>`, and :ref:`globals <syntax-globalinst>` are *allocated* in a :ref:`store <syntax-store>` :math:`S`, as defined by the following auxiliary functions.

Here, in slight abuse of notation, :math:(`\F{allocxyz}(S, \dots))^\ast` is taken to express multiple allocations with the updates to the store :math:`S` being threaded through, i.e.,
.. math::
\begin{array}{rlll}
(\F{allocxyz}^\ast(S_0, \dots))^n &=& S_n, a^n \\[1ex]
\mbox{where for all $i < n$:} \hfill \\
S_{i+1}, a^n[i] &=& \F{allocxyz}(S_i, \dots)
\end{array}
Here, the notation :math:`\F{allocx}^\ast` is shorthand for multiple :ref:`allocations <alloc>` of object kind :math:`X`, defined as follows:
.. math::
\begin{array}{rlll}
\F{allocx}^\ast(S_0, X^n, \dots) &=& S_n, a^n \\[1ex]
\mbox{where for all $i < n$:} \hfill \\
S_{i+1}, a^n[i] &=& \F{allocx}(S_i, X^n[i], \dots)
\end{array}
Moreover, if the dots :math:`\dots` are a sequence :math:`A^n` (as for globals), then the elements of this sequence are passed to the allocation function pointwise.
.. note::
The definition of module allocation is mutually recursive with the allocation of its associated functions, because the resulting module instance :math:`\moduleinst` is passed to the function allocator as an argument, in order to form the necessary closures.
In an implementation, this recursion is easily unraveled by mutating one or the other in a secondary step.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Given a :ref:`store <syntax-store>` :math:`S`, a :ref:`module <syntax-module>` :math:`\module` is instantiated with a list of :ref:`external values <syntax-externval>` :math:`\externval^n` supplying the required imports as follows.
Instantiation checks that the module is :ref:`valid <valid>` and the provided imports :ref:`match <match-externtype>` the declared types,
and may *fail* with an error otherwise.
Instantiation can also result in a :ref:`trap <trap>` from executing the start function.
It is up to the :ref:`embedder <embedder>` to define how such conditions are reported.
1. If :math:`\module` is not :ref:`valid <valid-module>`, then:
a. Fail.
2. Assert: :math:`\module` is :ref:`valid <valid-module>` with :ref:`external types <syntax-externtype>` :math:`\externtype_{\F{im}}^m` classifying its :ref:`imports <syntax-import>`.

.. note::
Module :ref:`allocation <alloc-module>` and the :ref:`evaluation <exec-expr>` of :ref:`global <syntax-global>` initializers are mutually recursive because the global initialization :ref:`values <syntax-val>` :math:`\val^\ast` are passed to the module allocator but depend on the store :math:`S'` and module instance :math:`\moduleinst` returned by allocation.
However, this recursion is just a specification device.
Due to :ref:`validation <valid-module>`, the initialization values can easily :ref:`be determined <exec-initvals>` from a simple pre-pass that evaluates global initializers in the initial store.
All failure conditions are checked before any observable mutation of the store takes place.
Store mutation is not atomic;
it happens in individual steps that may be interleaved with other threads.
:ref:`Evaluation <exec-expr>` of :ref:`constant expressions <valid-constant>` does not affect the store.

Invocation
~~~~~~~~~~
Once a :ref:`module <syntax-module>` has been :ref:`instantiated <exec-instantiation>`, any exported function can be *invoked* externally via its :ref:`function address <syntax-funcaddr>` :math:`\funcaddr` in the :ref:`store <syntax-store>` :math:`S` and an appropriate list :math:`\val^\ast` of argument :ref:`values <syntax-val>`.
Invocation may *fail* with an error if the arguments do not fit the :ref:`function type <syntax-functype>`.
Invocation can also result in a :ref:`trap <trap>`.
It is up to the :ref:`embedder <embedder>` to define how such conditions are reported.
.. note::
If the :ref:`embedder <embedder>` API performs type checks itself, either statically or dynamically, before performing an invocation, then no failure other than traps can occur.
The following steps are performed:
1. Assert: :math:`S.\SFUNCS[\funcaddr]` exists.
2. Let :math:`\funcinst` be the :ref:`function instance <syntax-funcinst>` :math:`S.\SFUNCS[\funcaddr]`.
3. Let :math:`[t_1^n] \to [t_2^m]` be the :ref:`function type <syntax-functype>` :math:`\funcinst.\FITYPE`.
4. If the length :math:`|\val^\ast|` of the provided argument values is different from the number :math:`n` of expected arguments, then:
a. Fail.
5. For each :ref:`value type <syntax-valtype>` :math:`t_i` in :math:`t_1^n` and corresponding :ref:`value <syntax-val>` :math:`val_i` in :math:`\val^\ast`, do:
a. If :math:`\val_i` is not :ref:`valid <valid-val>` with value type :math:`t_i`, then:
i. Fail.
6. Let :math:`F` be the dummy :ref:`frame <syntax-frame>` :math:`\{ \AMODULE~\{\}, \ALOCALS~\epsilon \}`.
7. Push the frame :math:`F` to the stack.
8. Push the values :math:`\val^\ast` to the stack.
9. :ref:`Invoke <exec-invoke>` the function instance at address :math:`\funcaddr`.
Once the function has returned, the following steps are executed:
1. Assert: due to :ref:`validation <valid-func>`, :math:`m` :ref:`values <syntax-val>` are on the top of the stack.
2. Pop :math:`\val_{\F{res}}^m` from the stack.
The values :math:`\val_{\F{res}}^m` are returned as the results of the invocation.
