Running in Chrome/Node.js - am I doing something wrong?

[drogus]

Hi, it's a very cool project! I'm trying to run an example code:

function init() {
  let message: string = 'Hello, World!';

  function test() {
    console.log(message);
  }

  test()
}

export { init };
export default init;

I compiled it with:

node cli/ts2wasm.js --opt=3 example.ts -o out.wasm --debug --sourceMap

I'm trying to run in Chrome or in Node.js according to instructions and in both cases the result is simply a null value printed in console.log. I also tried just console.log("a string literal"); and there is still no output, so I'm guessing it's something with the environment? This is the command I'm using to run it:

node --experimental-wasm-gc --experimental-wasm-stringref run_module.js -f init out.wasm

I've tried on Node v23 and also a build from Git.

The generated WASM is:

    call $global|init|func
    i32.const 1144
    i32.const 13
    string.new_utf8
    drop
    ref.null none
    ref.null none
    global.get $dyntype_context
    i32.const 1160
    i32.const 4
    string.new_utf8
    call $dyntype_new_string
    array.new_fixed $array0 1
    i32.const 1
    struct.new $array-struct0
    call $builtin|Console|log

Now I don't know much about libdyntype, but it looks correct. The call to test() got optimized, so it's just creating a new string, pushing it to an arguments array and calling Console.log.
