* wasmtime-wasi: re-exporting this WasiCtxBuilder was shadowing the right one
wasi-common's WasiCtxBuilder is really only useful wasi_cap_std_sync and
wasi_tokio to implement their own Builder on top of.
This re-export of wasi-common's is 1. not useful and 2. shadow's the
re-export of the right one in sync::*.
* wasi-common: eliminate WasiCtxBuilder, make the builder methods on WasiCtx instead
* delete wasi-common::WasiCtxBuilder altogether
just put those methods directly on &mut WasiCtx.
As a bonus, the sync and tokio WasiCtxBuilder::build functions
are no longer fallible!
* bench fixes
* more test fixes
* Redo the statically typed `Func` API
This commit reimplements the `Func` API with respect to statically typed
dispatch. Previously `Func` had a `getN` and `getN_async` family of
methods which were implemented for 0 to 16 parameters. The return value
of these functions was an `impl Fn(..)` closure with the appropriate
parameters and return values.
There are a number of downsides with this approach that have become
apparent over time:
* The addition of `*_async` doubled the API surface area (which is quite
large here due to one-method-per-number-of-parameters).
* The [documentation of `Func`][old-docs] are quite verbose and feel
"polluted" with all these getters, making it harder to understand the
other methods that can be used to interact with a `Func`.
* These methods unconditionally pay the cost of returning an owned `impl
Fn` with a `'static` lifetime. While cheap, this is still paying the
cost for cloning the `Store` effectively and moving data into the
closed-over environment.
* Storage of the return value into a struct, for example, always
requires `Box`-ing the returned closure since it otherwise cannot be
named.
* Recently I had the desire to implement an "unchecked" path for
invoking wasm where you unsafely assert the type signature of a wasm
function. Doing this with today's scheme would require doubling
(again) the API surface area for both async and synchronous calls,
further polluting the documentation.
The main benefit of the previous scheme is that by returning a `impl Fn`
it was quite easy and ergonomic to actually invoke the function. In
practice, though, examples would often have something akin to
`.get0::<()>()?()?` which is a lot of things to interpret all at once.
Note that `get0` means "0 parameters" yet a type parameter is passed.
There's also a double function invocation which looks like a lot of
characters all lined up in a row.
Overall, I think that the previous design is starting to show too many
cracks and deserves a rewrite. This commit is that rewrite.
The new design in this commit is to delete the `getN{,_async}` family of
functions and instead have a new API:
impl Func {
fn typed<P, R>(&self) -> Result<&Typed<P, R>>;
}
impl Typed<P, R> {
fn call(&self, params: P) -> Result<R, Trap>;
async fn call_async(&self, params: P) -> Result<R, Trap>;
}
This should entirely replace the current scheme, albeit by slightly
losing ergonomics use cases. The idea behind the API is that the
existence of `Typed<P, R>` is a "proof" that the underlying function
takes `P` and returns `R`. The `Func::typed` method peforms a runtime
type-check to ensure that types all match up, and if successful you get
a `Typed` value. Otherwise an error is returned.
Once you have a `Typed` then, like `Func`, you can either `call` or
`call_async`. The difference with a `Typed`, however, is that the
params/results are statically known and hence these calls can be much
more efficient.
This is a much smaller API surface area from before and should greatly
simplify the `Func` documentation. There's still a problem where
`Func::wrapN_async` produces a lot of functions to document, but that's
now the sole offender. It's a nice benefit that the
statically-typed-async verisons are now expressed with an `async`
function rather than a function-returning-a-future which makes it both
more efficient and easier to understand.
The type `P` and `R` are intended to either be bare types (e.g. `i32`)
or tuples of any length (including 0). At this time `R` is only allowed
to be `()` or a bare `i32`-style type because multi-value is not
supported with a native ABI (yet). The `P`, however, can be any size of
tuples of parameters. This is also where some ergonomics are lost
because instead of `f(1, 2)` you now have to write `f.call((1, 2))`
(note the double-parens). Similarly `f()` becomes `f.call(())`.
Overall I feel that this is a better tradeoff than before. While not
universally better due to the loss in ergonomics I feel that this design
is much more flexible in terms of what you can do with the return value
and also understanding the API surface area (just less to take in).

* Rename Typed to TypedFunc
* Implement multi-value returns through `Func::typed`

* Fix some more errors
* More test fixes
* Rebasing and adding `get_typed_func`
* Updating tests
* Fix typo
* More doc tweaks
* Tweak visibility on `Func::invoke`

* Moves CodeMemory, VMInterrupts and SignatureRegistry from Compiler
* CompiledModule holds CodeMemory and GdbJitImageRegistration
* Store keeps track of its JIT code
* Makes "jit_int.rs" stuff Send+Sync
* Adds the threads example.
* Compute instance exports on demand.
Instead having instances eagerly compute a Vec of Externs, and bumping
the refcount for each Extern, compute Externs on demand.
This also enables `Instance::get_export` to avoid doing a linear search.
This also means that the closure returned by `get0` and friends now
holds an `InstanceHandle` to dynamically hold the instance live rather
than being scoped to a lifetime.
* Compute module imports and exports on demand too.
And compute Extern::ty on demand too.
* Add a utility function for computing an ExternType.
* Add a utility function for looking up a function's signature.
* Add a utility function for computing the ValType of a Global.
* Rename wasmtime_environ::Export to EntityIndex.
This helps differentiate it from other Export types in the tree, and
describes what it is.
* Fix a typo in a comment.
* Simplify module imports and exports.
* Make `Instance::exports` return the export names.
This significantly simplifies the public API, as it's relatively common
to need the names, and this avoids the need to do a zip with
`Module::exports`.
This also changes `ImportType` and `ExportType` to have public members
instead of private members and accessors, as I find that simplifies the
usage particularly in cases where there are temporary instances.
* Remove `Instance::module`.
This doesn't quite remove `Instance`'s `module` member, it gets a step
closer.
* Use a InstanceHandle utility function.
* Don't consume self in the `Func::get*` methods.
Instead, just create a closure containing the instance handle and the
export for them to call.
* Use `ExactSizeIterator` to avoid needing separate `num_*` methods.
* Rename `Extern::func()` etc. to `into_func()` etc.
* Revise examples to avoid using `nth`.
* Add convenience methods to instance for getting specific extern types.
* Use the convenience functions in more tests and examples.
* Avoid cloning strings for `ImportType` and `ExportType`.
* Remove more obviated clone() calls.
* Simplify `Func`'s closure state.
* Make wasmtime::Export's fields private.
This makes them more consistent with ExportType.
* Fix compilation error.
* Make a lifetime parameter explicit, and use better lifetime names.
Instead of 'me, use 'instance and 'module to make it clear what the
lifetime is.
* More lifetime cleanups.
* Add a `wasmtime::Linker` type
This commit adds a new type to the `wasmtime` crate, a `Linker`. This
linker is intended to vastly simplify calling `Instance::new` by easily
performing name resolution and incrementally defining state over time.
The goal here is to start down a path of making linking wasm modules in
`wasmtime` a first-class and ergonomic operation. This is highly likely
to evolve over time and get tweaked through releases as we iterate
towards a design well-suited for `wasmtime`, but this is intended to at
least be the initial foundation for such functionality.
This commit additionally also adds a C API for the linker and switches
the existing linking examples to using this linker in both Rust and C.
One piece of future work I'd like to tackle next is to integrate WASI
into the `wasmtime` crate in a more first-class manner. This [`Linker`]
type provides a great location to hook into the instantiation process to
easily instantiate modules with WASI imports. That's a relatively large
refactoring for now though and I figured it'd be best left for a
different time.
Closes#727
* Add examples of linking and WASI
This commit adds two example programs, one for linking two modules
together and one for instantiating WASI. The linkage example
additionally uses WASI to get some meaningful output at this time.
