wat2wasm gives error: unexpected token get_local

[SathoriStudio]

I have downloaded wabt in my Linux Mint machine, but when I try to use the wat2wasm file.wat command into a simple example like this, it gives me error.

(module
(func $add (param $lhs i32) (param $rhs i32) (result i32)
get_local $lhs
get_local $rhs
i32.add)
(export "add" (func $add))
)

This is the error:

add1.wat:3:5: error: unexpected token get_local, expected ).
    get_local $lhs
    ^^^^^^^^^
add1.wat:4:5: error: unexpected token get_local.
    get_local $rhs

The same code in the wat2wasm online demo works fine. When I use wat2wasm --version it says my version is 1.0.25.

Any ideas of why the unexpected token get_local error appears? Thanks in advance.

I had the same experience on arch linux when I cloned the repo
However, the error was gone when I downloaded the latest release instead

Thanks for the advice, @graial !

I have downloaded the wabt-1.0.24-ubuntu.tar.gz release and now it seems that wat2wasm is working fine. I also didn't need to "build" using CMake or anything similar, so I suppose that I should have started with the release. Thanks!

I had the same problem, but I could fix it by replacing get_local by local.get.

Thanks dgruntz. It worked for me.

I had the same problem, but I could fix it by replacing get_local by local.get.

So, what's wrong with that?

Are compiler versions different?

The old version uses get_local , but the new version use local.get.

same question

Please see #1883 -- get_local isn't a valid instruction in WebAssembly. (It used to be called that when WebAssembly was in draft form, but the names were changed in 2018 before the WebAssembly 1.0 spec was published, and wabt dropped support for the draft names in 2021 (#1792).)
