* Remove the wasmtime Python extension from this repo
This commit removes the `crates/misc/py` folder and all associated
doo-dads like CI. This module has been rewritten to use the C API
natively and now lives at
https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-py as discussed on #1390
* Remove the old wast and wasm2obj commands.
These are subsumed by the `wasmtime wast` and `wasmtime wasm2obj` commands.
Fixes#827.
* Remove wasm2obj install commands.
* 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.
* Move the C API to a separate crate
This commit moves the C API from `crates/api/src/wasm.rs` to
`crates/capi/src/lib.rs` to be located in a separate crate. There's a
number of reasons for this:
* When a Rust program depends on the `wasmtime` crate, there's no need
to compile in the C API.
* This should improve compile times of the `wasmtime` crate since it's
not producing artifacts which aren't always used.
* The development of the C API can be guaranteed to only use the public
API of the `wasmtime` crate itself.
Some CI pieces are tweaked and this overall shouldn't have much impact
on users, it's intended that it's a cleanup/speedup for developers!
* Disable rustdoc/tests for capi
* Review feedback
* Add back in accidentally deleted comment
* More renamings
* Try to fix dotnet build
This commit migrates wasmtime's CI infrastructure from Azure Pipelines
to Github Actions. Using Github Actions has a few benefits over other
offerings:
* Being natively integrated with Github means that there's no degree of
user account configuration or access control management, it's all
inherent via already existing Github permissions.
* Github Actions gives 20 parallel builders instead of Azure's 10 by
default, which is a nice boost to have!
Overall I've found Github Actions to feel a bit cleaner than Azure
Pipelines as well. Subjectively I've found the configuration to be more
readable and more pleasant to work with, although they're both just as
"powerful" I think. Additionally Github Actions has been pretty solid in
my own personal testing for a number of other projects.
The main trickiness with wasmtime's CI is the rolling `dev` release of
the master branch as well as binary releases for tags. Github Actions
doesn't have quite as much built in functionality as Azure Pipelines,
but Github Actions does have a nice feature where you can define the
code for an action locally rather than only using built-in actions.
This migration adds three local actions with some associated JS code to
run the action (currently it looks like it basically requires JS)
* An `install-rust` action papers over the gotchas about installing
Rust, allowing Rust installation to be a one-liner in the configuration.
* A `binary-compatible-builds` action allows easily configuring the
wheels and the binaries to be "more binary compatible" and handles
things like compilation flags on OSX and Windows while handling the
`centos:6` container on Linux.
* The `github-release` action is the logic using the `@actions/github`
JS package to orchestrate the custom way we manage rolling releases,
ensuring that a new release is made for the master branch under `dev`
(deleting the previous tag/release ahead of time) and then also
manages tagged releases by uploading them there.
I'm hoping that most of the inline actions here will largely go away.
For example `install-rust` should be simply `rustup update $toolchain`
once various environment issues are fixed on Github Actions runner
images. Additionally `github-release` will ideally migrate to something
like https://github.com/actions/create-release or similar once it has
enough functionality. I'm also hoping that the maintenance in the
meantime of these actions is pretty low-cost, but if it becomes an issue
we can look into other solutions!
