You can

before the loop and get rid of the if/else and -1 special cases.

I just tried it, but it didn't really work out that well.

One thing that bothers me is how ReadCanonicalNameReference ends up looking.
Currently it looks like this:

    int index = ReadUInt();
    if (index == 0) return NULL;
    CanonicalName* name = builder_.GetCanonicalName(index - 1);

Afterwards it becomes:

    int index = ReadUInt();
    if (index == 0) return NULL;
    CanonicalName* name = builder_.GetCanonicalName(index);

I don't think it is as self-explanatory (what's up with index 0?) and does not
directly correspond to binary.md anymore.

+    ASSERT(parent != NULL);
+    int name_index = reader->ReadUInt();
+    String* name = program->string_table().strings()[name_index];
+    CanonicalName* canonical_name = parent->AddChild(name);
+    reader->helper()->SetCanonicalName(i, canonical_name);
+  }
+
   int libraries = reader->ReadUInt();
   program->libraries().EnsureInitialized(libraries);
   for (int i = 0; i < libraries; i++) {
     program->libraries().GetOrCreate<Library>(i)->ReadFrom(reader);
   }
 
-  program->main_method_ = Procedure::Cast(Reference::ReadMemberFrom(reader));
+  program->main_method_reference_ = Reference::ReadMemberFrom(reader);
+
+#ifdef DEBUG
+  for (int i = 0; i < canonical_names; ++i) {

nit: vm convention is to use intptr_t instead of int (in almost all places)

[asgerf, 2017/02/03 12:47:38]

Done.

+    CanonicalName* name = reader->helper()->GetCanonicalName(i);
+    if (name->is_referenced() && name->definition() == NULL) {
+      FATAL("Missing definition for canonical name");
+    }
+  }
+#endif
 
   return program;
