[WebAssembly] Sort output data sections to place .bss last
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

This was always the intended behavior, but had not been
implemented. This ordering is important for Emscripten when generating
.mem files while compiling to JS, since only zeros at the end of
initialized memory can be dropped.

Fixes https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/8999

Nice!

Its possible to have custom segment names. See Writer.cpp:getOutputDataSegmentName. Seems strange that no tests use this feature though .. maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

Perhaps just create a partial order that puts bss last?

Drop the curlies for single line blocks

It it worth sorting things other than bss? Don't make much difference I suppose.

Eh, probably not, but changing all the tests was a pain and I don't want to do it again :) Perhaps someone will find it useful to have similar sections together some day.
