Description

I've received a request to make it possible for wasm-opt-rs to perform optimization entirely in memory without accessing the filesystem. This seems like a reasonable feature, and relatively easy to add. Is there any apatite for this in tree?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the wasm-opt-rs request in issue 141 and the existing wasm-opt-rs filesystem-based APIs. Define the API surface needed to optimize WebAssembly entirely in memory, then verify that the operation performs no filesystem access and preserves current optimization behavior.
