* Return `anyhow::Error` from host functions instead of `Trap`
This commit refactors how errors are modeled when returned from host
functions and additionally refactors how custom errors work with `Trap`.
At a high level functions in Wasmtime that previously worked with
`Result<T, Trap>` now work with `Result<T>` instead where the error is
`anyhow::Error`. This includes functions such as:
* Host-defined functions in a `Linker<T>`
* `TypedFunc::call`
* Host-related callbacks like call hooks
Errors are now modeled primarily as `anyhow::Error` throughout Wasmtime.
This subsequently removes the need for `Trap` to have the ability to
represent all host-defined errors as it previously did. Consequently the
`From` implementations for any error into a `Trap` have been removed
here and the only embedder-defined way to create a `Trap` is to use
`Trap::new` with a custom string.
After this commit the distinction between a `Trap` and a host error is
the wasm backtrace that it contains. Previously all errors in host
functions would flow through a `Trap` and get a wasm backtrace attached
to them, but now this only happens if a `Trap` itself is created meaning
that arbitrary host-defined errors flowing from a host import to the
other side won't get backtraces attached. Some internals of Wasmtime
itself were updated or preserved to use `Trap::new` to capture a
backtrace where it seemed useful, such as when fuel runs out.
The main motivation for this commit is that it now enables hosts to
thread a concrete error type from a host function all the way through to
where a wasm function was invoked. Previously this could not be done
since the host error was wrapped in a `Trap` that didn't provide the
ability to get at the internals.
A consequence of this commit is that when a host error is returned that
isn't a `Trap` we'll capture a backtrace and then won't have a `Trap` to
attach it to. To avoid losing the contextual information this commit
uses the `Error::context` method to attach the backtrace as contextual
information to ensure that the backtrace is itself not lost.
This is a breaking change for likely all users of Wasmtime, but it's
hoped to be a relatively minor change to workaround. Most use cases can
likely change `-> Result<T, Trap>` to `-> Result<T>` and otherwise
explicit creation of a `Trap` is largely no longer necessary.
* Fix some doc links
* add some tests and make a backtrace type public (#55)
* Trap: avoid a trailing newline in the Display impl
which in turn ends up with three newlines between the end of the
backtrace and the `Caused by` in the anyhow Debug impl
* make BacktraceContext pub, and add tests showing downcasting behavior of anyhow::Error to traps or backtraces
* Remove now-unnecesary `Trap` downcasts in `Linker::module`
* Fix test output expectations
* Remove `Trap::i32_exit`
This commit removes special-handling in the `wasmtime::Trap` type for
the i32 exit code required by WASI. This is now instead modeled as a
specific `I32Exit` error type in the `wasmtime-wasi` crate which is
returned by the `proc_exit` hostcall. Embedders which previously tested
for i32 exits now downcast to the `I32Exit` value.
* Remove the `Trap::new` constructor
This commit removes the ability to create a trap with an arbitrary error
message. The purpose of this commit is to continue the prior trend of
leaning into the `anyhow::Error` type instead of trying to recreate it
with `Trap`. A subsequent simplification to `Trap` after this commit is
that `Trap` will simply be an `enum` of trap codes with no extra
information. This commit is doubly-motivated by the desire to always use
the new `BacktraceContext` type instead of sometimes using that and
sometimes using `Trap`.
Most of the changes here were around updating `Trap::new` calls to
`bail!` calls instead. Tests which assert particular error messages
additionally often needed to use the `:?` formatter instead of the `{}`
formatter because the prior formats the whole `anyhow::Error` and the
latter only formats the top-most error, which now contains the
backtrace.
* Merge `Trap` and `TrapCode`
With prior refactorings there's no more need for `Trap` to be opaque or
otherwise contain a backtrace. This commit parse down `Trap` to simply
an `enum` which was the old `TrapCode`. All various tests and such were
updated to handle this.
The main consequence of this commit is that all errors have a
`BacktraceContext` context attached to them. This unfortunately means
that the backtrace is printed first before the error message or trap
code, but given all the prior simplifications that seems worth it at
this time.
* Rename `BacktraceContext` to `WasmBacktrace`
This feels like a better name given how this has turned out, and
additionally this commit removes having both `WasmBacktrace` and
`BacktraceContext`.
* Soup up documentation for errors and traps
* Fix build of the C API

Implement Wasmtime's new API as designed by RFC 11. This is quite a large commit which has had lots of discussion externally, so for more information it's best to read the RFC thread and the PR thread.
* Update WebAssembly C API submodule to latest commit.
This commit updates the WebAssembly C API submodule (for `wasm.h`) to the
latest commit out of master.
This fixes the behavior of `wasm_name_new_from_string` such that it no longer
copies the null character into the name, which caused unexpected failures when
using the Wasmtime linker as imports wouldn't resolve when the null was
present.
Along with this change were breaking changes to `wasm_func_call`, the host
callback signatures, and `wasm_instance_new` to take a vector type instead of a
pointer to an unsized array.
As a result, Wasmtime language bindings based on the C API will need to be
updated once this change is pulled in.
Fixes#2211.
Fixes#2131.
* Update Doxygen comments for wasm.h changes.
* Update the C API with module linking support
This commit does everything necessary (ideally) to support the module
linking proposal in the C API. The changes here are:
* New `wasm_{module,instance}type_t` types and accessors
* New `wasm_{module,instance}_type` functions
* Conversions between `wasm_extern_t` and `wasm_{instance,module}_t`, as
well as `wasm_externtype_t` and the new types.
* Addition of `WASM_EXTERN_{MODULE,INSTANCE}` constants
* New `wasm_config_t` modifier to enable/disable module linking
With these functions it should be possible to pass instances/modules to
instances and also acquire them from exports. Altogether this should
enable everything for module linking.
An important point for this is that I've opted to add all these items
under the `wasm_*` name prefix instead of `wasmtime_*`. I've done this
since they're all following the idioms of existing APIs and while not
standard the intention would be to standardize them (unlike many other
Wasmtime-specific APIs).

* Appease doxygen
* Compute instance exports on demand.
Instead having instances eagerly compute a Vec of Externs, and bumping
the refcount for each Extern, compute Externs on demand.
This also enables `Instance::get_export` to avoid doing a linear search.
This also means that the closure returned by `get0` and friends now
holds an `InstanceHandle` to dynamically hold the instance live rather
than being scoped to a lifetime.
* Compute module imports and exports on demand too.
And compute Extern::ty on demand too.
* Add a utility function for computing an ExternType.
* Add a utility function for looking up a function's signature.
* Add a utility function for computing the ValType of a Global.
* Rename wasmtime_environ::Export to EntityIndex.
This helps differentiate it from other Export types in the tree, and
describes what it is.
* Fix a typo in a comment.
* Simplify module imports and exports.
* Make `Instance::exports` return the export names.
This significantly simplifies the public API, as it's relatively common
to need the names, and this avoids the need to do a zip with
`Module::exports`.
This also changes `ImportType` and `ExportType` to have public members
instead of private members and accessors, as I find that simplifies the
usage particularly in cases where there are temporary instances.
* Remove `Instance::module`.
This doesn't quite remove `Instance`'s `module` member, it gets a step
closer.
* Use a InstanceHandle utility function.
* Don't consume self in the `Func::get*` methods.
Instead, just create a closure containing the instance handle and the
export for them to call.
* Use `ExactSizeIterator` to avoid needing separate `num_*` methods.
* Rename `Extern::func()` etc. to `into_func()` etc.
* Revise examples to avoid using `nth`.
* Add convenience methods to instance for getting specific extern types.
* Use the convenience functions in more tests and examples.
* Avoid cloning strings for `ImportType` and `ExportType`.
* Remove more obviated clone() calls.
* Simplify `Func`'s closure state.
* Make wasmtime::Export's fields private.
This makes them more consistent with ExportType.
* Fix compilation error.
* Make a lifetime parameter explicit, and use better lifetime names.
Instead of 'me, use 'instance and 'module to make it clear what the
lifetime is.
* More lifetime cleanups.
It's a common idiom to pass in `NULL` for slices of zero-length in the C
API, but it's not safe to create a Rust `&[T]` slice with this `NULL`
pointer. Special-case this in the `as_slice()` method of incoming
vectors to return an empty slice so we don't violate Rust's invariants.
* Refactor and improve safety of C API
This commit is intended to be a relatively large refactoring of the C
API which is targeted at improving the safety of our C API definitions.
Not all of the APIs have been updated yet but this is intended to be the
start.
The goal here is to make as many functions safe as we can, expressing
inputs/outputs as native Rust types rather than raw pointers wherever
possible. For example instead of `*const wasm_foo_t` we'd take
`&wasm_foo_t`. Instead of returning `*mut wasm_foo_t` we'd return
`Box<wasm_foo_t>`. No ABI/API changes are intended from this commit,
it's supposed to only change how we define all these functions
internally.
This commit also additionally implements a few more API bindings for
exposed vector types by unifying everything into one macro.
Finally, this commit moves many internal caches in the C API to the
`OnceCell` type which provides a safe interface for one-time
initialization.
* Split apart monolithic C API `lib.rs`
This commit splits the monolithic `src/lib.rs` in the C API crate into
lots of smaller files. The goal here is to make this a bit more readable
and digestable. Each module now contains only API bindings for a
particular type, roughly organized around the grouping in the wasm.h
header file already.
A few more extensions were added, such as filling out `*_as_*`
conversions with both const and non-const versions. Additionally many
APIs were made safer in the same style as the previous commit, generally
preferring Rust types rather than raw pointer types.
Overall no functional change is intended here, it should be mostly just
code movement and minor refactorings!
* Make a few wasi C bindings safer
Use safe Rust types where we can and touch up a few APIs here and there.
* Implement `wasm_*type_as_externtype*` APIs
This commit restructures `wasm_externtype_t` to be similar to
`wasm_extern_t` so type conversion between the `*_extern_*` variants to
the concrete variants are all simple casts. (checked in the case of
general to concrete, of course).
* Consistently imlpement host info functions in the API
This commit adds a small macro crate which is then used to consistently
define the various host-info-related functions in the C API. The goal
here is to try to mirror what the `wasm.h` header provides to provide a
full implementation of the header.
