Memory offset

Learn Memory offset in WebAssembly through the exact construct, a dedicated example, a boundary case, and a mastery check.

10 min read • Intermediate

Memory offset is an atomic WebAssembly lesson inside Memory. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.

Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on Memory offset rather than on generic WebAssembly syntax.

Topic-specific example

wat Try It Live
(module (memory 1) (func (export "read") (param i32) (result i32) local.get 0 i32.load offset=8 align=4))
Edge case / engineering note

For Memory offset, check operand/result types and trap conditions. WebAssembly validation is strict even when the surrounding host code is permissive.
