.NET 8 WebAssembly AOT not generating trampoline functions

[AshleighAdams]

Description

When building trampoline functions to call into native code, delegates marked the the UnmanagedFunctionPointer attribute in .NET 6, and .NET 7 (tho not upon initial release) are taken into account.

Since .NET 8, natively calling into these methods once again causes mono_wasm_get_interp_to_native_trampoline() to fail, and the application to crash.

Reproduction Steps

A minimal WebGL sample that encounters the bug is located here: AshleighAdams/dotnet-webgl-sample#6

Note, that you must AOT build the sample:

$ dotnet publish --configuration Release -p:OutputPath="$(pwd)/build" && (cd build/AppBundle/ && dotnet serve -o)

Internally, the sample is calling into emscripten's GL via Silk.NET, and in the project the following delegate can be found to get AOT to trampoline the function:

[UnmanagedFunctionPointer(CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
private delegate void glClearColor_t(float red, float green, float blue, float alpha);

Expected behavior

Expect .NET to trampoline the call into native code correctly

Actual behavior

Crashes with an exception:

Regression?

Yes, it worked in .NET 6 and .NET 7

Known Workarounds

Unknown for now

Configuration

WebGL, happens when built on Linux and Windows
Issue is in both Chrome and Firefox, latest versions

Other information

In .NET 7, a snippet that referenced the function pointer existed to stop it from being trimmed, I tried this again but additionally on glClearColor_t() which is getting trimmed:

Marshal.GetDelegateForFunctionPointer(new nint(1), typeof(glClearColor_t));

and I also tried adding the dynamic dependency to my trampoline class:

[DynamicDependency(DynamicallyAccessedMemberTypes.All, typeof(TrampolineFuncs))]

Neither of these had any success

The previous .NET 7 regression issue is here: #76930

@kg what is the status of this one?

I didn't have an opportunity to get to the bottom of it

[AshleighAdams]

This is fixed in .NET 9 preview 6

Is there anything we can do to help prevent this from regressing a third time? I know this isn't an "officially" supported part of wasm yet, but nonetheless I think it is still very important

[kg]

We could add a simple regression test for it. I added a small suite of P/Invoke tests to our test suite while doing my p/invoke work during .NET 9. It's not obvious to me why the glClearColor call from the original report wouldn't have gotten a trampoline, though - someone who knows our AOT infrastructure better might be able to guess.
