* 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.
* Add Wasmtime-specific C API functions to return errors
This commit adds new `wasmtime_*` symbols to the C API, many of which
mirror the existing counterparts in the `wasm.h` header. These APIs are
enhanced in a number of respects:
* Detailed error information is now available through a
`wasmtime_error_t`. Currently this only exposes one function which is
to extract a string version of the error.
* There is a distinction now between traps and errors during
instantiation and function calling. Traps only happen if wasm traps,
and errors can happen for things like runtime type errors when
interacting with the API.
* APIs have improved safety with respect to embedders where the lengths
of arrays are now taken as explicit parameters rather than assumed
from other parameters.
* Handle trap updates
* Update C examples
* Fix memory.c compile on MSVC
* Update test assertions
* Refactor C slightly
* Bare-bones .NET update
* Remove bogus nul handling
* Add a `wasmtime::Linker` type
This commit adds a new type to the `wasmtime` crate, a `Linker`. This
linker is intended to vastly simplify calling `Instance::new` by easily
performing name resolution and incrementally defining state over time.
The goal here is to start down a path of making linking wasm modules in
`wasmtime` a first-class and ergonomic operation. This is highly likely
to evolve over time and get tweaked through releases as we iterate
towards a design well-suited for `wasmtime`, but this is intended to at
least be the initial foundation for such functionality.
This commit additionally also adds a C API for the linker and switches
the existing linking examples to using this linker in both Rust and C.
One piece of future work I'd like to tackle next is to integrate WASI
into the `wasmtime` crate in a more first-class manner. This [`Linker`]
type provides a great location to hook into the instantiation process to
easily instantiate modules with WASI imports. That's a relatively large
refactoring for now though and I figured it'd be best left for a
different time.
Closes#727
* Add examples of linking and WASI
This commit adds two example programs, one for linking two modules
together and one for instantiating WASI. The linkage example
additionally uses WASI to get some meaningful output at this time.
