* 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.
* 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.
