The comparator functions are expected to have signature int f(void *, void*, PyArrayObject *). Some of the comparators drop the third argument because they don't use them. Because the comparators are unused, with most architectures this works fine. However, calling a function pointer that has been cast to have a different number of arguments is undefined in the C specification. With web assembly targets, it crashes at runtime. This fixes the comparators defined in arraytypes.c.src to all take three arguments. See also related work: 258ce25 23c05e6
