* Temporarily remove support for interface types
This commit temporarily removes support for interface types from the
`wasmtime` CLI and removes the `wasmtime-interface-types` crate. An
error is now printed for any input wasm modules that have wasm interface
types sections to indicate that support has been removed and references
to two issues are printed as well:
* #677 - tracking work for re-adding interface types support
* #1271 - rationale for removal and links to other discussions
Closes#1271
* Update the python extension
* Document the `wasmtime::Instance` APIs
This documents oddities like the import list and export list and how to
match them all up. Addtionally this largely just expands all the docs
related to `Instance` to get filled out.
This also moves the `set_signal_handler` functions into
platform-specific modules in order to follow Rust idioms about how to
expose platform-specific information. Additionally the methods are
marked `unsafe` because I figure anything having to do with signal
handling is `unsafe` inherently. I don't actually know what these
functions do, so they're currently still undocumented.
* Fix build of python bindings
* Fix some rebase conflicts
* Remove `HostRef` from the `wasmtime` public API
This commit removes all remaining usages of `HostRef` in the public API
of the `wasmtime` crate. This involved a number of API decisions such
as:
* None of `Func`, `Global`, `Table`, or `Memory` are wrapped in `HostRef`
* All of `Func`, `Global`, `Table`, and `Memory` implement `Clone` now.
* Methods called `type` are renamed to `ty` to avoid typing `r#type`.
* Methods requiring mutability for external items now no longer require
mutability. The mutable reference here is sort of a lie anyway since
the internals are aliased by the underlying module anyway. This
affects:
* `Table::set`
* `Table::grow`
* `Memory::grow`
* `Instance::set_signal_handler`
* The `Val::FuncRef` type is now no longer automatically coerced to
`AnyRef`. This is technically a breaking change which is pretty bad,
but I'm hoping that we can live with this interim state while we sort
out the `AnyRef` story in general.
* The implementation of the C API was refactored and updated in a few
locations to account for these changes:
* Accessing the exports of an instance are now cached to ensure we
always hand out the same `HostRef` values.
* `wasm_*_t` for external values no longer have internal cache,
instead they all wrap `wasm_external_t` and have an unchecked
accessor for the underlying variant (since the type is proof that
it's there). This makes casting back and forth much more trivial.
This is all related to #708 and while there's still more work to be done
in terms of documentation, this is the major bulk of the rest of the
implementation work on #708 I believe.
* More API updates
* Run rustfmt
* Fix a doc test
* More test updates
* Remove the need for `HostRef<Store>`
This commit goes through the public API of the `wasmtime` crate and
removes the need for `HostRef<Store>`, as discussed in #708. This commit
is accompanied with a few changes:
* The `Store` type now also implements `Default`, creating a new
`Engine` with default settings and returning that.
* The `Store` type now implements `Clone`, and is documented as being a
"cheap clone" aka being reference counted. As before there is no
supported way to create a deep clone of a `Store`.
* All APIs take/return `&Store` or `Store` instead of `HostRef<Store>`,
and `HostRef<T>` is left as purely a detail of the C API.
* The `global_exports` function is tagged as `#[doc(hidden)]` for now
while we await its removal.
* The `Store` type is not yet `Send` nor `Sync` due to the usage of
`global_exports`, but it is intended to become so eventually.
* Touch up comments on some examples
* Run rustfmt
* Rename the `wasmtime_api` library to match the containing `wasmtime` crate
Commit d9ca508f80 renamed the
`wasmtime-api` crate to `wasmtime`, but left the name of the library it
contains as `wasmtime_api`.
It's fairly unusual for a crate to contain a library with a different
name, and it results in rather confusing error messages for a user; if
you list `wasmtime = "0.7"` in `Cargo.toml`, you can't `use
wasmtime::*`, you have to `use wasmtime_api::*;`.
Rename the `wasmtime_api` library to `wasmtime`.
* Stop renaming wasmtime to api on imports
Various users renamed the crate formerly known as wasmtime_api to api,
and then used api:: prefixes everywhere; change those all to wasmtime::
and drop the renaming.
* Migrate back to `std::` stylistically
This commit moves away from idioms such as `alloc::` and `core::` as
imports of standard data structures and types. Instead it migrates all
crates to uniformly use `std::` for importing standard data structures
and types. This also removes the `std` and `core` features from all
crates to and removes any conditional checking for `feature = "std"`
All of this support was previously added in #407 in an effort to make
wasmtime/cranelift "`no_std` compatible". Unfortunately though this
change comes at a cost:
* The usage of `alloc` and `core` isn't idiomatic. Especially trying to
dual between types like `HashMap` from `std` as well as from
`hashbrown` causes imports to be surprising in some cases.
* Unfortunately there was no CI check that crates were `no_std`, so none
of them actually were. Many crates still imported from `std` or
depended on crates that used `std`.
It's important to note, however, that **this does not mean that wasmtime
will not run in embedded environments**. The style of the code today and
idioms aren't ready in Rust to support this degree of multiplexing and
makes it somewhat difficult to keep up with the style of `wasmtime`.
Instead it's intended that embedded runtime support will be added as
necessary. Currently only `std` is necessary to build `wasmtime`, and
platforms that natively need to execute `wasmtime` will need to use a
Rust target that supports `std`. Note though that not all of `std` needs
to be supported, but instead much of it could be configured off to
return errors, and `wasmtime` would be configured to gracefully handle
errors.
The goal of this PR is to move `wasmtime` back to idiomatic usage of
features/`std`/imports/etc and help development in the short-term.
Long-term when platform concerns arise (if any) they can be addressed by
moving back to `no_std` crates (but fixing the issues mentioned above)
or ensuring that the target in Rust has `std` available.
* Start filling out platform support doc
