panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference #406

Problem description:

I used tinygo to compile a wasm file, and an error occurred when I used wasmer-go to read, compile and execute the file again.

Steps to reproduce

main.go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/wasmerio/wasmer-go/wasmer"
)

func main() {
	engine := wasmer.NewEngine()
	store := wasmer.NewStore(engine)

	wasmBytes, err := os.ReadFile("test.wasm")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error reading Wasm file:", err)
		return
	}

	module, err := wasmer.NewModule(store, wasmBytes)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error compiling Wasm module:", err)
		return
	}

	instance, err := wasmer.NewInstance(module, nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error instantiating Wasm module:", err)
		return
	}

	sumFunc, err := instance.Exports.GetFunction("sum")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error getting function from Wasm module:", err)
		return
	}

	result, err := sumFunc(10, 20)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error calling function from Wasm module:", err)
		return
	}

	fmt.Println("Result:", result)
}

wasm.go

package main

import (
	"syscall/js"
)

func sum(this js.Value, args []js.Value) interface{} {
	if len(args) != 2 {
		return "Invalid number of arguments. Expected 2."
	}

	num1 := args[0].Float()
	num2 := args[1].Float()
	result := num1 + num2
	return result
}

func main() {
	js.Global().Set("sum", js.FuncOf(sum))
	done := make(chan struct{}, 0)
	<-done
}

Expected behavior

The sum function exists and it should return the correct result.

Actual behavior
