* Update rust embed example (#967)
Ensures that the example works with the current API.
Drops mention of HostRef as the example is complete without it.
* Cleanup
* Remove the need for `HostRef<Store>`
This commit goes through the public API of the `wasmtime` crate and
removes the need for `HostRef<Store>`, as discussed in #708. This commit
is accompanied with a few changes:
* The `Store` type now also implements `Default`, creating a new
`Engine` with default settings and returning that.
* The `Store` type now implements `Clone`, and is documented as being a
"cheap clone" aka being reference counted. As before there is no
supported way to create a deep clone of a `Store`.
* All APIs take/return `&Store` or `Store` instead of `HostRef<Store>`,
and `HostRef<T>` is left as purely a detail of the C API.
* The `global_exports` function is tagged as `#[doc(hidden)]` for now
while we await its removal.
* The `Store` type is not yet `Send` nor `Sync` due to the usage of
`global_exports`, but it is intended to become so eventually.
* Touch up comments on some examples
* Run rustfmt
This commit removes the need to use `HostRef<Engine>` in the Rust API.
Usage is retained in the C API in one location, but otherwise `Engine`
can always be used directly.
This is the first step of progress on #708 for the `Engine` type.
Changes here include:
* `Engine` is now `Clone`, and is documented as being cheap. It's not
intended that cloning an engine creates a deep copy.
* `Engine` is now both `Send` and `Sync`, and asserted to be so.
* Usage of `Engine` in APIs no longer requires or uses `HostRef`.
While the wasm file has only one export, our introduction should set a
good example for how to find functions even for wasm files that have
multiple exports. Find the answer function by name rather than assuming
index 0.
Minor variable name change to avoid having to wrap the line.
* Rename the `wasmtime_api` library to match the containing `wasmtime` crate
Commit d9ca508f80 renamed the
`wasmtime-api` crate to `wasmtime`, but left the name of the library it
contains as `wasmtime_api`.
It's fairly unusual for a crate to contain a library with a different
name, and it results in rather confusing error messages for a user; if
you list `wasmtime = "0.7"` in `Cargo.toml`, you can't `use
wasmtime::*`, you have to `use wasmtime_api::*;`.
Rename the `wasmtime_api` library to `wasmtime`.
* Stop renaming wasmtime to api on imports
Various users renamed the crate formerly known as wasmtime_api to api,
and then used api:: prefixes everywhere; change those all to wasmtime::
and drop the renaming.
* Update the top-level README.md and embedding documentation.
wasmtime-api is now the primary external API crate, so recommend that
instead of wasmtime-jit.
Also, enable wasmtime-api's C API by default, so that it shows up on
docs.rs, and to make it easier to use.
And, add basic embedding documentation and link to it from the
README.md. Credit to @yurydelendik for the content.
* Use the new wasm-c-api URL.
* Don't pass --features wasm-c-api, as it is now on by default.
This commit adds the skeleton of a new set of documentation for
`wasmtime` in the existing `docs` directory. This documentation is
organized and compiled with [mdbook] which the Rust project uses for
most of its own documentation as well. At a previous meeting we
brainstormed a rough skeleton of what the documentation in this book
would look like, and I've transcribed that here for an example of how
this is rendered and how it can be laid out. No actual documentation is
written yet.
This commit also additionally adds necessary support to auto-publish
both this book documentation and API documentation every time a commit
is pushed to the `master` branch. All HTML will be automatically pushed
to the `gh-pages` branch so long as the CI passes, and this should get
deployed to https://cranestation.github.io/wasmtime.
I've done a few dry-runs and I think this'll all work, but we'll likely
tweak a few things here and there after running this through CI to make
sure everything looks just as we'd like. My hope though is that after
this lands we can start actually filling out all the documentation and
being able to review it as well.
