Here, productions marked with respective comments are abbreviation forms for equivalent expansions.

The data string is used to initialise the lower end of the memory. It is an ASCII string, that can have the usual escape sequences, or hex escapes of the form `\xx` to denote a single byte.

What's the "usual" escape sequences? I'd like to have something a bit more precise!
Is there a pre-existing standard we can use? Presumably Unicode would work.
How are quotes escaped?

I guess we don't define char at all here, which is the true problem.

How's this?

I'd rather define char instead of special-casing segment. I'd define it as something that's already standardized, so we don't have to invent something new.

Perhaps that is worth doing in a separate PR. This was meant to fix the broken definition of the memory expression that was not updated when the code was.

I'd be OK with that if the text were only "The segment string is used to initialize the memory at the given offset." (with typo fix in there!), and an associated issue or PR to fix char.

I agree with @jfbastien. Better define char than describing it in prose. In this or a separate PR.

Added issue #64, and removed the prose definition of char.

lgtm, thanks! Merging since @rossberg-chromium lgtm'd as well.

* [spec] Add reference types to overview (WebAssembly#1394)

* [interpreter] Remove use of physical equality on characters (WebAssembly#1396)

* Merge SIMD proposal (WebAssembly#1391)

SIMD is [phase 5](WebAssembly/simd#507), merge all the changes back into main spec.

* Remove merge conflict marker

* [spec] Handle v128 in validation algorithm (WebAssembly#1399)

* [spec] Fix instruction table (WebAssembly#1402)

* Add tests for functions without end marker. NFC (WebAssembly#1405)

Inspired by this downstream test in wabt:
WebAssembly/wabt#1775

Fixes: WebAssembly#1404

* Describe correct tail call behavior across modules

Whether tail calls across module boundaries would guarantee tail call behavior was previously an open question, but @thibaudmichaud confirmed that they would guarantee tail call behavior in V8 in WebAssembly/tail-call#15 (comment).

* [interpreter] Fix a typo in README (WebAssembly#1406)

* Add a link to the proposals repo (WebAssembly#1409)

Fixes WebAssembly#1407.

* [spec] Add note regarding parameter names (WebAssembly#1412)

* Comments WIP

* Merge upstream (WebAssembly#55)

* Typo

* [spec] Clarifying note on text format (WebAssembly#1420)

* [test] Fix section size in binary test (WebAssembly#1424)

* Update document README to install six

* Disallow type recursion (WebAssembly#56)

* Fix import order

* Add --generate-js-only flag to test runner

This will return early right after generating JS from the wast test
files. It will not attempt to run the tests, or do the round trip
conversion from wasm <-> wast.

This is convenient for proposals to add tests without having to
update the reference interpreter with implementation, and generate those
tests to JS to run in other Wasm engines.

Fixes WebAssembly#1430.

* Remove use of let from func.bind test

* Add call3

* [spec] Fix missing mention of vectype (WebAssembly#1436)

* Clarification in proposals README

* [interpreter] Tweak start section AST to match spec

* [spec] Bump release to 2 (WebAssembly#1443)

At yesterday's WG meeting, we decided to make a new release, now switching to the Evergreen model. For administrative and technical reasons having to do with W3C procedure, we decided to bump the release number to 2.

From now on, the standard will iterate at version 2 from the W3C's official perspective. We use minor release numbers internally to distinguish different iterations.

(@ericprud, I hope I understood correctly that the Bikeshed "level" also needed to be bumped to 2.)

* [spec] Fix various typos (WebAssembly#1470)

* TypeError for Global constructor with v128

At the moment the spec requires a `LinkError` to be thrown when the `WebAssembly.Global` constructor is called for type `v128`. This was introduced in WebAssembly/simd#360, but according to the PR description, actually a `TypeError` should be thrown. The PR refers to https://github.com/WebAssembly/simd/blob/master/proposals/simd/SIMD.md#javascript-api-and-simd-values, and there a `TypeError` is required.

* [spec] Allow explicit keyword definitions (WebAssembly#1553)

Rather than describing keyword tokens as always being defined implicitly by terminal symbols in syntactic productions, describe them as being defined implicitly or explicitly.

* [jsapi] Normative: Always queue a task during asynchronous instantiation

JSC will have to do asynchronous compilation work during some instantiations.
To be consistent, this PR always queues a task to complete instantiation,
except through the synchronous Instance(module) API, to ensure consistency
across platforms.

This patch also cleans up the specification in various surrounding ways:
- Include notes about APIs whose use is discouraged/may be limited
