* 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.
cc #1272
* Add examples to the book as well
* More links!
* Ignore examples from rustdoc testsing
* More example updates
* More ignored
* Remove `WrappedCallable` indirection
At this point `Func` has evolved quite a bit since inception and the
`WrappedCallable` trait I don't believe is needed any longer. This
should help clean up a few entry points by having fewer traits in play.
* Remove the `Callable` trait
This commit removes the `wasmtime::Callable` trait, changing the
signature of `Func::new` to take an appropriately typed `Fn`.
Additionally the function now always takes `&Caller` like `Func::wrap`
optionally can, to empower `Func::new` to have the same capabilities of
`Func::wrap`.
* Add a test for an already-fixed issue
Closes#849
* rustfmt
* Update more locations for `Callable`
* rustfmt
* Remove a stray leading borrow
* Review feedback
* Remove unneeded `wasmtime_call_trampoline` shim
* Add a first-class way of accessing caller's exports
This commit is a continuation of #1237 and updates the API of `Func` to
allow defining host functions which have easy access to a caller's
memory in particular. The new APIs look like so:
* The `Func::wrap*` family of functions was condensed into one
`Func::wrap` function.
* The ABI layer of conversions in `WasmTy` were removed
* An optional `Caller<'_>` argument can be at the front of all
host-defined functions now.
The old way the wasi bindings looked up memory has been removed and is
now replaced with the `Caller` type. The `Caller` type has a
`get_export` method on it which allows looking up a caller's export by
name, allowing you to get access to the caller's memory easily, and even
during instantiation.
* Add a temporary note
* Move some docs
* Move all examples to a top-level directory
This commit moves all API examples (Rust and C) to a top-level
`examples` directory. This is intended to make it more discoverable and
conventional as to where examples are located. Additionally all examples
are now available in both Rust and C to see how to execute the example
in the language you're familiar with. The intention is that as more
languages are supported we'd add more languages as examples here too.
Each example is also accompanied by either a `*.wat` file which is
parsed as input, or a Rust project in a `wasm` folder which is compiled
as input.
A simple driver crate was also added to `crates/misc` which executes all
the examples on CI, ensuring the C and Rust examples all execute
successfully.
