 Wasm according to the following table:
 
     Go types        Wasm types
+    bool            i32
     int32, uint32   i32
     int64, uint64   i64

+    pointer         i32 (more restrictions below)
+    string          (i32, i32) (only permitted as a parameters, not a result)
+
+For a pointer type, its element type must be a bool, int8, uint8, int16, uint16,
+int32, uint32, int64, uint64, float32, float64, an array whose element type is
+a permitted pointer element type, or a struct, which, if non-empty, embeds
+structs.HostLayout, and contains only fields whose types are permitted pointer
+element types.
 
 Any other parameter types are disallowed by the compiler.
 
+	//go:wasmexport exportname
+
+The //go:wasmexport directive is wasm-only and must be followed by a
+function definition.
+It specifies that the function is exported to the wasm host as ``exportname``.
+
+	//go:wasmexport f
+	func g()
+
+The types of parameters and return values to the Go function are permitted and
+translated to Wasm in the same way as //go:wasmimport functions.
