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.
* Fully support multiple returns in Wasmtime
For quite some time now Wasmtime has "supported" multiple return values,
but only in the mose bare bones ways. Up until recently you couldn't get
a typed version of functions with multiple return values, and never have
you been able to use `Func::wrap` with functions that return multiple
values. Even recently where `Func::typed` can call functions that return
multiple values it uses a double-indirection by calling a trampoline
which calls the real function.
The underlying reason for this lack of support is that cranelift's ABI
for returning multiple values is not possible to write in Rust. For
example if a wasm function returns two `i32` values there is no Rust (or
C!) function you can write to correspond to that. This commit, however
fixes that.
This commit adds two new ABIs to Cranelift: `WasmtimeSystemV` and
`WasmtimeFastcall`. The intention is that these Wasmtime-specific ABIs
match their corresponding ABI (e.g. `SystemV` or `WindowsFastcall`) for
everything *except* how multiple values are returned. For multiple
return values we simply define our own version of the ABI which Wasmtime
implements, which is that for N return values the first is returned as
if the function only returned that and the latter N-1 return values are
returned via an out-ptr that's the last parameter to the function.
These custom ABIs provides the ability for Wasmtime to bind these in
Rust meaning that `Func::wrap` can now wrap functions that return
multiple values and `Func::typed` no longer uses trampolines when
calling functions that return multiple values. Although there's lots of
internal changes there's no actual changes in the API surface area of
Wasmtime, just a few more impls of more public traits which means that
more types are supported in more places!
Another change made with this PR is a consolidation of how the ABI of
each function in a wasm module is selected. The native `SystemV` ABI,
for example, is more efficient at returning multiple values than the
wasmtime version of the ABI (since more things are in more registers).
To continue to take advantage of this Wasmtime will now classify some
functions in a wasm module with the "fast" ABI. Only functions that are
not reachable externally from the module are classified with the fast
ABI (e.g. those not exported, used in tables, or used with `ref.func`).
This should enable purely internal functions of modules to have a faster
calling convention than those which might be exposed to Wasmtime itself.
Closes#1178
* Tweak some names and add docs
* "fix" lightbeam compile
* Fix TODO with dummy environ
* Unwind info is a property of the target, not the ABI
* Remove lightbeam unused imports
* Attempt to fix arm64
* Document new ABIs aren't stable
* Fix filetests to use the right target
* Don't always do 64-bit stores with cranelift
This was overwriting upper bits when 32-bit registers were being stored
into return values, so fix the code inline to do a sized store instead
of one-size-fits-all store.
* At least get tests passing on the old backend
* Fix a typo
* Add some filetests with mixed abi calls
* Get `multi` example working
* Fix doctests on old x86 backend
* Add a mixture of wasmtime/system_v tests
* Redo the statically typed `Func` API
This commit reimplements the `Func` API with respect to statically typed
dispatch. Previously `Func` had a `getN` and `getN_async` family of
methods which were implemented for 0 to 16 parameters. The return value
of these functions was an `impl Fn(..)` closure with the appropriate
parameters and return values.
There are a number of downsides with this approach that have become
apparent over time:
* The addition of `*_async` doubled the API surface area (which is quite
large here due to one-method-per-number-of-parameters).
* The [documentation of `Func`][old-docs] are quite verbose and feel
"polluted" with all these getters, making it harder to understand the
other methods that can be used to interact with a `Func`.
* These methods unconditionally pay the cost of returning an owned `impl
Fn` with a `'static` lifetime. While cheap, this is still paying the
cost for cloning the `Store` effectively and moving data into the
closed-over environment.
* Storage of the return value into a struct, for example, always
requires `Box`-ing the returned closure since it otherwise cannot be
named.
* Recently I had the desire to implement an "unchecked" path for
invoking wasm where you unsafely assert the type signature of a wasm
function. Doing this with today's scheme would require doubling
(again) the API surface area for both async and synchronous calls,
further polluting the documentation.
The main benefit of the previous scheme is that by returning a `impl Fn`
it was quite easy and ergonomic to actually invoke the function. In
practice, though, examples would often have something akin to
`.get0::<()>()?()?` which is a lot of things to interpret all at once.
Note that `get0` means "0 parameters" yet a type parameter is passed.
There's also a double function invocation which looks like a lot of
characters all lined up in a row.
Overall, I think that the previous design is starting to show too many
cracks and deserves a rewrite. This commit is that rewrite.
The new design in this commit is to delete the `getN{,_async}` family of
functions and instead have a new API:
impl Func {
fn typed<P, R>(&self) -> Result<&Typed<P, R>>;
}
impl Typed<P, R> {
fn call(&self, params: P) -> Result<R, Trap>;
async fn call_async(&self, params: P) -> Result<R, Trap>;
}
This should entirely replace the current scheme, albeit by slightly
losing ergonomics use cases. The idea behind the API is that the
existence of `Typed<P, R>` is a "proof" that the underlying function
takes `P` and returns `R`. The `Func::typed` method peforms a runtime
type-check to ensure that types all match up, and if successful you get
a `Typed` value. Otherwise an error is returned.
Once you have a `Typed` then, like `Func`, you can either `call` or
`call_async`. The difference with a `Typed`, however, is that the
params/results are statically known and hence these calls can be much
more efficient.
This is a much smaller API surface area from before and should greatly
simplify the `Func` documentation. There's still a problem where
`Func::wrapN_async` produces a lot of functions to document, but that's
now the sole offender. It's a nice benefit that the
statically-typed-async verisons are now expressed with an `async`
function rather than a function-returning-a-future which makes it both
more efficient and easier to understand.
The type `P` and `R` are intended to either be bare types (e.g. `i32`)
or tuples of any length (including 0). At this time `R` is only allowed
to be `()` or a bare `i32`-style type because multi-value is not
supported with a native ABI (yet). The `P`, however, can be any size of
tuples of parameters. This is also where some ergonomics are lost
because instead of `f(1, 2)` you now have to write `f.call((1, 2))`
(note the double-parens). Similarly `f()` becomes `f.call(())`.
Overall I feel that this is a better tradeoff than before. While not
universally better due to the loss in ergonomics I feel that this design
is much more flexible in terms of what you can do with the return value
and also understanding the API surface area (just less to take in).

* Fix examples in docs

This commit updates `wasmtime::FuncType` to exactly store an internal
`WasmFuncType` from the cranelift crates. This allows us to remove a
translation layer when we are given a `FuncType` and want to get an
internal cranelift type out as a result.
The other major change from this commit was changing the constructor and
accessors of `FuncType` to be iterator-based instead of exposing
implementation details.
* Moves CodeMemory, VMInterrupts and SignatureRegistry from Compiler
* CompiledModule holds CodeMemory and GdbJitImageRegistration
* Store keeps track of its JIT code
* Makes "jit_int.rs" stuff Send+Sync
* Adds the threads example.
* 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.
* Remove `WrappedCallable` indirection
At this point `Func` has evolved quite a bit since inception and the
`WrappedCallable` trait I don't believe is needed any longer. This
should help clean up a few entry points by having fewer traits in play.
* Remove the `Callable` trait
This commit removes the `wasmtime::Callable` trait, changing the
signature of `Func::new` to take an appropriately typed `Fn`.
Additionally the function now always takes `&Caller` like `Func::wrap`
optionally can, to empower `Func::new` to have the same capabilities of
`Func::wrap`.
* Add a test for an already-fixed issue
Closes#849
* rustfmt
* Update more locations for `Callable`
* rustfmt
* Remove a stray leading borrow
* Review feedback
* Remove unneeded `wasmtime_call_trampoline` shim
* Move all examples to a top-level directory
This commit moves all API examples (Rust and C) to a top-level
`examples` directory. This is intended to make it more discoverable and
conventional as to where examples are located. Additionally all examples
are now available in both Rust and C to see how to execute the example
in the language you're familiar with. The intention is that as more
languages are supported we'd add more languages as examples here too.
Each example is also accompanied by either a `*.wat` file which is
parsed as input, or a Rust project in a `wasm` folder which is compiled
as input.
A simple driver crate was also added to `crates/misc` which executes all
the examples on CI, ensuring the C and Rust examples all execute
successfully.
