Sometimes you must build with -g. WebDWARF ;-).

Can you please clarify? I've seen WebDWARF mentioned twice now, but when I Google, I get a bunch of results about a shareware clone of Dreamweaver.

DWARF is a debugging data format for ELF files.[1]
WebDWARF then would be to WebASM, as DWARF is to ELF files.

I'm suggesting that when debugging optimized code, you'll use -g as on native platforms. I'm speculating further that with wasm, decompilers will rise to the view source challenge.
