            Bug ID: 181781
           Summary: iOS 11.2.2 and 11.2.5b6 WebAssembly regression (error
                    or hang)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 11
          Hardware: iPhone / iPad
                OS: iOS 11
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebAssembly
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: bvibber at wikimedia.org

At Wikipedia we use an emscripten-based decoder in Safari for some video and audio formats, and are looking at deploying a WebAssembly build for both desktop and mobile.

In iOS 11.2.2 there's a major regression in wasm which breaks things with "out of bounds memory access" errors, which I believe is rdar:://problem/36236004 and supposed to be fixed; however the latest version I can test is iOS 11.2.5beta 6, where instead of emitting an error the entire web content process hangs without emitting any console messages.

Sample using asm.js build:
* https://brionv.com/misc/ogv.js/demo/#player=js
^ works

Sample using wasm build:
* https://brionv.com/misc/ogv.js/demo/#player=wasm
^ errors out on 11.2.2, hangs on 11.2.5b6

The hang comes during initialization or early execution, making it tricky to connect with the Safari remote debugger.
