Mark explainer as outdated

Is this referring specifically to the text format? Which parts have become outdated?

[surma]

Yes, the text format is not up-to-date (memory.atomic.wait32, for example). I haven’t checked if anything else is out of date.

[conrad-watt]

We've generally been careful to keep the overview up to date, in lieu of a formal spec. The naming convention for atomics.wait was explicitly changed relatively recently (#145). AFAIK, memory.atomic.wait32 is the modern mnemonic.

[surma]

I was assuming the spec is correct and not the explainer as wabt (or wat2wasm --enable-threads more specifically) recognizes i32.atomic.wait but not memory.atomic.wait32.

Feel free to disregard my PR if I tackled the problem from the wrong end. I was just confused by the current state of spec vs explainer vs tooling.

[conrad-watt]

The formatted spec at https://webassembly.github.io/threads has now been updated with the modern mnemonics. I don't know if @binji has any information about wabt?

[binji]

I'm kinda surprised, since I thought I updated these names in wabt, but it seems not. I'll update.

EDIT: WebAssembly/wabt#1564

@surma are you happy for this to be closed now that wabt has been updated? Please let us know if you're still dealing with inconsistencies.

[surma]

Absolutely. Cheers.
