I’m general I would not expect the standard JIT setup in LLVM to work with
Wasm, even if we solved this particular problem. Even if you could look up
a symbol, you wouldn’t be able to execute it without calling out to the
embedder to first compile and instantiate a Wasm module containing the
code. You would also have to arrange for the function to be placed into the
table so you can get a function pointer to it since Wasm is a Harvard
architecture. This is all possible in principle to implement, but it
definitely will not work out of the box.
