Reinterpret - WebAssembly | MDN
The reinterpret
instructions, are used to reinterpret the bits of a number as a different type.

(func $main
;; the value `10000000_00000000_00000000_00000000` in binary
;; maps to `-0` as a floating point and to `-2147483648` as an integer.
f32.const -0 ;; push an f32 onto the stack
i32.reinterpret_f32 ;; reinterpret the bytes of the f32 as i32
call $log ;; log the result
