* Implement defining host functions at the Config level.
This commit introduces defining host functions at the `Config` rather than with
`Func` tied to a `Store`.
The intention here is to enable a host to define all of the functions once
with a `Config` and then use a `Linker` (or directly with
`Store::get_host_func`) to use the functions when instantiating a module.
This should help improve the performance of use cases where a `Store` is
short-lived and redefining the functions at every module instantiation is a
noticeable performance hit.
This commit adds `add_to_config` to the code generation for Wasmtime's `Wasi`
type.
The new method adds the WASI functions to the given config as host functions.
This commit adds context functions to `Store`: `get` to get a context of a
particular type and `set` to set the context on the store.
For safety, `set` cannot replace an existing context value of the same type.
`Wasi::set_context` was added to set the WASI context for a `Store` when using
`Wasi::add_to_config`.
* Add `Config::define_host_func_async`.
* Make config "async" rather than store.
This commit moves the concept of "async-ness" to `Config` rather than `Store`.
Note: this is a breaking API change for anyone that's already adopted the new
async support in Wasmtime.
Now `Config::new_async` is used to create an "async" config and any `Store`
associated with that config is inherently "async".
This is needed for async shared host functions to have some sanity check during their
execution (async host functions, like "async" `Func`, need to be called with
the "async" variants).
* Update async function tests to smoke async shared host functions.
This commit updates the async function tests to also smoke the shared host
functions, plus `Func::wrap0_async`.
This also changes the "wrap async" method names on `Config` to
`wrap$N_host_func_async` to slightly better match what is on `Func`.
* Move the instance allocator into `Engine`.
This commit moves the instantiated instance allocator from `Config` into
`Engine`.
This makes certain settings in `Config` no longer order-dependent, which is how
`Config` should ideally be.
This also removes the confusing concept of the "default" instance allocator,
instead opting to construct the on-demand instance allocator when needed.
This does alter the semantics of the instance allocator as now each `Engine`
gets its own instance allocator rather than sharing a single one between all
engines created from a configuration.
* Make `Engine::new` return `Result`.
This is a breaking API change for anyone using `Engine::new`.
As creating the pooling instance allocator may fail (likely cause is not enough
memory for the provided limits), instead of panicking when creating an
`Engine`, `Engine::new` now returns a `Result`.
* Remove `Config::new_async`.
This commit removes `Config::new_async` in favor of treating "async support" as
any other setting on `Config`.
The setting is `Config::async_support`.
* Remove order dependency when defining async host functions in `Config`.
This commit removes the order dependency where async support must be enabled on
the `Config` prior to defining async host functions.
The check is now delayed to when an `Engine` is created from the config.
* Update WASI example to use shared `Wasi::add_to_config`.
This commit updates the WASI example to use `Wasi::add_to_config`.
As only a single store and instance are used in the example, it has no semantic
difference from the previous example, but the intention is to steer users
towards defining WASI on the config and only using `Wasi::add_to_linker` when
more explicit scoping of the WASI context is required.
This is enough to get an `externref -> externref` identity function
passing.
However, `externref`s that are dropped by compiled Wasm code are (safely)
leaked. Follow up work will leverage cranelift's stack maps to resolve this
issue.
* 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.
