Indirect function table

Learn Indirect function table in WebAssembly through the exact construct, a dedicated example, a boundary case, and a mastery check.

12 min read • Intermediate

Indirect function table is an atomic WebAssembly lesson inside Tables & References. 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 Indirect function table rather than on generic WebAssembly syntax.

Topic-specific example

wat Try It Live
(module (type $f (func (result i32))) (table 1 funcref) (func $answer (type $f) (result i32) i32.const 42) (elem (i32.const 0) $answer) (func (export "run") (result i32) i32.const 0 call_indirect (type $f)))
Edge case / engineering note

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