The fact that there even is a mangled name is an implementation detail, right? There wouldn't be a need to specify a name in the symbol table in the linking section given a small modification to the wasm object file linking tool convention to allow an external import to be identified by import location rather than symbol name, which would then result in no symbol name being assigned to it at all. I don't think this modification is planned, but there is nothing stopping such a modification from being made afaik. |

Thanks, that makes sense. I was presenting the current mangled linker symbol as if it were part of wasm_import_module's semantics. I’ll clarify that this is an implementation detail of the current wasm codegen/linker setup and may change. |
