title: What are the implications of a maximum memory limits in WebAssembly?
body: <p>When I declare a <a href="https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/BinaryEncoding.md#memory-section" rel="nofollow noreferrer">memory section</a> in a WebAssembly then I have to set the initial size and I can set the optional maximum size.</p>
  
  <p>Does it have any advantages if I set the maximum to the same value as the initial value? What are the implications of this value for WebAssembly runtime?</p>
  
  <p>Background: I write a <a href="https://github.com/i-net-software/JWebAssembly" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Java to WebAssembly compiler</a> and want to use the coming GC feature for my data. I does not need to grow the memory. I would use it only for constant values.</p>
