This commit bumps Cranelift to 0.49.0 and target-lexicon to 0.9.0 to fix the
failing build to due an updated faerie crate that violated semver with an
updated 0.9.0 target-lexicon dependency.
Fixes#491.
* Migrate from failure to thiserror and anyhow
The failure crate invents its own traits that don't use
std::error::Error (because failure predates certain features added to
Error); this prevents using ? on an error from failure in a function
using Error. The thiserror and anyhow crates integrate with the standard
Error trait instead.
This change does not attempt to semantically change or refactor the
approach to error-handling in any portion of the code, to ensure that
the change remains straightforward to review. Modules using specific
differentiated error types move from failure_derive and derive(Fail) to
thiserror and derive(Error). Modules boxing all errors opaquely move
from failure::Error to anyhow. Modules using String as an error type
continue to do so. Code using unwrap or expect continues to do so.
Drop Display implementations when thiserror can easily derive an
identical instance.
Drop manual traversal of iter_causes; anyhow's Debug instance prints the
chain of causes by default.
Use anyhow's type alias anyhow::Result<T> in place of
std::result::Result<T, anyhow::Error> whenever possible.
* wasm2obj: Simplify error handling using existing messages
handle_module in wasm2obj manually maps
cranelift_codegen::isa::LookupError values to strings, but LookupError
values already have strings that say almost exactly the same thing.
Rely on the strings from cranelift.
* wasmtime: Rely on question-mark-in-main
The main() wrapper around rmain() completely matches the behavior of
question-mark-in-main (print error to stderr and return 1), so switch to
question-mark-in-main.
* Update to walrus 0.13 and wasm-webidl-bindings 0.6
Both crates switched from failure to anyhow; updating lets us avoid a
translation from failure to anyhow within wasmtime-interface-types.
* deps: bump wasmparser to 0.39.2
This has a bug fix for multi-value Wasm validation that is required for getting
the spec tests passing.

* Update cranelift to 0.46.1 to get multi-value Wasm support
The `cranelift_wasm` APIs had to change a little bit to maintain state necessary
when translating multi-value Wasm blocks. The `translate_module` function now
returns a `ModuleTranslationState` that is borrowed during each function's
translation.
* Enable multi-value proposal's spec tests
This enables all the Wasm multi-value proposal's spec tests other than the ones
that rely on functions having more return values than registers available on the
target. That is not supported by cranelift yet.
* wasmtime-interface-types: always use multi-value Wasm
And remove the return pointer hacks that work around the lack of multi-value.
This commit adds a `wasmtime-rust` crate to the `misc` folder next to
the previously added Python extension. The intention is that this
showcases loading a WebAssembly file natively in Rust and how with an
attribute macro it can feel lightweight in terms of boilerplate.
The macro itself is pretty non-featureful today beyond the bare bones to
get anything working, but there's all sorts of possibilities like
JIT-compiled entry stubs we could eventually do with all the type
information!
This commit adds initial support for [WebAssembly Interface
Types][proposal] to wasmtime. This is all intended to be quite
experimental, so experimental in fact that even the name of the
[proposal] is still in flux. (this has otherwise been known as "host
bindings" or "webidl bindings" or "wasm bindings").
The goal of this commit is to start adding support the wasmtime set of
crates for WebAssembly Interface Types. A new `wasmtime-interface-types`
crate has been added with very basic support for dynamically invoking
and inspecting the various bindings of a module. This is in turn powered
by the `wasm-webidl-bindings` crate which is shared with the
`wasm-bindgen` CLI tool as a producer of this section.
Currently the only integration in `wasmtime`-the-binary itself is that
when passed the `--invoke` argument the CLI will now attempt to invoke
the target function with arguments as parsed from the command line
itself. For example if you export a function like:
fn render(&str) -> String
Then passing `--invoke render` will require one argument on the command
line, which is the first argument as a string, and the return value is
printed to the console. This differs from today's interpretation of
`--invoke` where it is a failure if the invoked function takes more than
one argument and the return values are currently ignored.
This is intended to also be the basis of embedding wasmtime in other
contexts which also want to consume WebAssembly interface types. A
Python extension is also added to this repository which implements the
`wasmtime` package on PyPI. This Python extension is intended to make it
as easy as `pip3 install wasmtime` to load a WebAssembly file with
WebAssembly Interface Types into Python. Extensions for other languages
is of course possible as well!
One of the major missing pieces from this is handling imported functions
with interface bindings. Currently the embedding support doesn't have
much ability to support handling imports ergonomically, so it's intended
that this will be included in a follow-up patch.
