The Problem:
WebGL2 fails to render large meshes. Especially, if -s MAXIMUM_MEMORY=4096MB -s ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH=1 is used. Basically when emscripten resizes the heap to go over 2Gb limit, WebGL2 gives this error message:
RangeError: Failed to execute 'bufferData' on 'WebGL2RenderingContext': The ArrayBuffer/ArrayBufferView size exceeds the supported range.,RangeError: Failed to execute 'bufferData' on 'WebGL2RenderingContext': The ArrayBuffer/ArrayBufferView size exceeds the supported range.
In this use case, we're trying to render large 3d models, i.e. sanmiguel 3d model. The code is loading (via fetch) a large 661Mb binary 3d model file, and it fails to render. You can see the issue in https://meshpage.org/431 The error happened immediately after heap resize went over 2Gb limit.
