* Return `anyhow::Error` from host functions instead of `Trap`
This commit refactors how errors are modeled when returned from host
functions and additionally refactors how custom errors work with `Trap`.
At a high level functions in Wasmtime that previously worked with
`Result<T, Trap>` now work with `Result<T>` instead where the error is
`anyhow::Error`. This includes functions such as:
* Host-defined functions in a `Linker<T>`
* `TypedFunc::call`
* Host-related callbacks like call hooks
Errors are now modeled primarily as `anyhow::Error` throughout Wasmtime.
This subsequently removes the need for `Trap` to have the ability to
represent all host-defined errors as it previously did. Consequently the
`From` implementations for any error into a `Trap` have been removed
here and the only embedder-defined way to create a `Trap` is to use
`Trap::new` with a custom string.
After this commit the distinction between a `Trap` and a host error is
the wasm backtrace that it contains. Previously all errors in host
functions would flow through a `Trap` and get a wasm backtrace attached
to them, but now this only happens if a `Trap` itself is created meaning
that arbitrary host-defined errors flowing from a host import to the
other side won't get backtraces attached. Some internals of Wasmtime
itself were updated or preserved to use `Trap::new` to capture a
backtrace where it seemed useful, such as when fuel runs out.
The main motivation for this commit is that it now enables hosts to
thread a concrete error type from a host function all the way through to
where a wasm function was invoked. Previously this could not be done
since the host error was wrapped in a `Trap` that didn't provide the
ability to get at the internals.
A consequence of this commit is that when a host error is returned that
isn't a `Trap` we'll capture a backtrace and then won't have a `Trap` to
attach it to. To avoid losing the contextual information this commit
uses the `Error::context` method to attach the backtrace as contextual
information to ensure that the backtrace is itself not lost.
This is a breaking change for likely all users of Wasmtime, but it's
hoped to be a relatively minor change to workaround. Most use cases can
likely change `-> Result<T, Trap>` to `-> Result<T>` and otherwise
explicit creation of a `Trap` is largely no longer necessary.
* Fix some doc links
* add some tests and make a backtrace type public (#55)
* Trap: avoid a trailing newline in the Display impl
which in turn ends up with three newlines between the end of the
backtrace and the `Caused by` in the anyhow Debug impl
* make BacktraceContext pub, and add tests showing downcasting behavior of anyhow::Error to traps or backtraces
* Remove now-unnecesary `Trap` downcasts in `Linker::module`
* Fix test output expectations
* Remove `Trap::i32_exit`
This commit removes special-handling in the `wasmtime::Trap` type for
the i32 exit code required by WASI. This is now instead modeled as a
specific `I32Exit` error type in the `wasmtime-wasi` crate which is
returned by the `proc_exit` hostcall. Embedders which previously tested
for i32 exits now downcast to the `I32Exit` value.
* Remove the `Trap::new` constructor
This commit removes the ability to create a trap with an arbitrary error
message. The purpose of this commit is to continue the prior trend of
leaning into the `anyhow::Error` type instead of trying to recreate it
with `Trap`. A subsequent simplification to `Trap` after this commit is
that `Trap` will simply be an `enum` of trap codes with no extra
information. This commit is doubly-motivated by the desire to always use
the new `BacktraceContext` type instead of sometimes using that and
sometimes using `Trap`.
Most of the changes here were around updating `Trap::new` calls to
`bail!` calls instead. Tests which assert particular error messages
additionally often needed to use the `:?` formatter instead of the `{}`
formatter because the prior formats the whole `anyhow::Error` and the
latter only formats the top-most error, which now contains the
backtrace.
* Merge `Trap` and `TrapCode`
With prior refactorings there's no more need for `Trap` to be opaque or
otherwise contain a backtrace. This commit parse down `Trap` to simply
an `enum` which was the old `TrapCode`. All various tests and such were
updated to handle this.
The main consequence of this commit is that all errors have a
`BacktraceContext` context attached to them. This unfortunately means
that the backtrace is printed first before the error message or trap
code, but given all the prior simplifications that seems worth it at
this time.
* Rename `BacktraceContext` to `WasmBacktrace`
This feels like a better name given how this has turned out, and
additionally this commit removes having both `WasmBacktrace` and
`BacktraceContext`.
* Soup up documentation for errors and traps
* Fix build of the C API

* wiggle: no longer need to guard wasmtime integration behind a feature
this existed so we could use wiggle in lucet, but lucet is long EOL
* replace wiggle::Trap with wiggle::wasmtime_crate::Trap
* wiggle tests: unwrap traps because we cant assert_eq on them
* wasi-common: emit a wasmtime::Trap instead of a wiggle::Trap
formally add a dependency on wasmtime here to make it obvious, though
we do now have a transitive one via wiggle no matter what (and therefore
can get rid of the default-features=false on the wiggle dep)
* wasi-nn: use wasmtime::Trap instead of wiggle::Trap
there's no way the implementation of this func is actually
a good idea, it will panic the host process on any error,
but I'll ask @mtr to fix that
* wiggle test-helpers examples: fixes
* wasi-common cant cross compile to wasm32-unknown-emscripten anymore
this was originally for the WASI polyfill for web targets. Those days
are way behind us now.
* wasmtime wont compile for armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf either
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.
* Enhance wiggle to generate its UserErrorConverstion trait with a function that returns
a Result<abi_err, String>. This enhancement allows hostcall implementations using wiggle
to return an actionable error to the instance (the abi_err) or to terminate the instance
using the String as fatal error information.

* Enhance the wiggle/wasmtime integration to leverage new work in ab7e9c6. Hostcall
implementations generated by wiggle now return an Result<abi_error, Trap>. As a
result, hostcalls experiencing fatal errors may trap, thereby terminating the
wasmtime instance. This enhancement has been performed for both wasi snapshot1
and wasi snapshot0.
* Update wasi-nn crate to reflect enhancement in issue #2418.
* Update wiggle test-helpers for wiggle enhancement made in issue #2418.
* Address PR feedback; omit verbose return statement.
* Address PR feedback; manually format within a proc macro.
* Address PR feedback; manually format proc macro.

* Address PR feedback; omit TODO and fix formatting.
* Ok-wrap error type in assert statement.
