This commit is intended to do almost everything necessary for processing
the alias section of module linking. Most of this is internal
refactoring, the highlights being:
* Type contents are now stored separately from a `wasmtime_env::Module`.
Given that modules can freely alias types and have them used all over
the place, it seemed best to have one canonical location to type
storage which everywhere else points to (with indices). A new
`TypeTables` structure is produced during compilation which is shared
amongst all member modules in a wasm blob.
* Instantiation is heavily refactored to account for module linking. The
main gotcha here is that imports are now listed as "initializers". We
have a sort of pseudo-bytecode-interpreter which interprets the
initialization of a module. This is more complicated than just
matching imports at this point because in the module linking proposal
the module, alias, import, and instance sections may all be
interleaved. This means that imports aren't guaranteed to show up at
the beginning of the address space for modules/instances.
Otherwise most of the changes here largely fell out from these two
design points. Aliases are recorded as initializers in this scheme.
Copying around type information and/or just knowing type information
during compilation is also pretty easy since everything is just a
pointer into a `TypeTables` and we don't have to actually copy any types
themselves. Lots of various refactorings were necessary to accomodate
these changes.
Tests are hoped to cover a breadth of functionality here, but not
necessarily a depth. There's still one more piece of the module linking
proposal missing which is exporting instances/modules, which will come
in a future PR.
It's also worth nothing that there's one large TODO which isn't
implemented in this change that I plan on opening an issue for.
With module linking when a set of modules comes back from compilation
each modules has all the trampolines for the entire set of modules. This
is quite a lot of duplicate trampolines across module-linking modules.
We'll want to refactor this at some point to instead have only one set
of trampolines per set of module linking modules and have them shared
from there. I figured it was best to separate out this change, however,
since it's purely related to resource usage, and doesn't impact
non-module-linking modules at all.
cc #2094
This commit adds lots of plumbing to get the type section from the
module linking proposal plumbed all the way through to the `wasmtime`
crate and the `wasmtime-c-api` crate. This isn't all that useful right
now because Wasmtime doesn't support imported/exported
modules/instances, but this is all necessary groundwork to getting that
exported at some point. I've added some light tests but I suspect the
bulk of the testing will come in a future commit.
One major change in this commit is that `SignatureIndex` no longer
follows type type index space in a wasm module. Instead a new
`TypeIndex` type is used to track that. Function signatures, still
indexed by `SignatureIndex`, are then packed together tightly.
This commit is intended to be the first of many in implementing the
module linking proposal. At this time this builds on #2059 so it
shouldn't land yet. The goal of this commit is to compile bare-bones
modules which use module linking, e.g. those with nested modules.
My hope with module linking is that almost everything in wasmtime only
needs mild refactorings to handle it. The goal is that all per-module
structures are still per-module and at the top level there's just a
`Vec` containing a bunch of modules. That's implemented currently where
`wasmtime::Module` contains `Arc<[CompiledModule]>` and an index of
which one it's pointing to. This should enable
serialization/deserialization of any module in a nested modules
scenario, no matter how you got it.
Tons of features of the module linking proposal are missing from this
commit. For example instantiation flat out doesn't work, nor does
import/export of modules or instances. That'll be coming as future
commits, but the purpose here is to start laying groundwork in Wasmtime
for handling lots of modules in lots of places.
