This commit started off by deleting the `cranelift_codegen::settings` reexport in the `wasmtime-environ` crate and then basically played whack-a-mole until everything compiled again. The main result of this is that the `wasmtime-*` family of crates have generally less of a dependency on the `TargetIsa` trait and type from Cranelift. While the dependency isn't entirely severed yet this is at least a significant start. This commit is intended to be largely refactorings, no functional changes are intended here. The refactorings are: * A `CompilerBuilder` trait has been added to `wasmtime_environ` which server as an abstraction used to create compilers and configure them in a uniform fashion. The `wasmtime::Config` type now uses this instead of cranelift-specific settings. The `wasmtime-jit` crate exports the ability to create a compiler builder from a `CompilationStrategy`, which only works for Cranelift right now. In a cranelift-less build of Wasmtime this is expected to return a trait object that fails all requests to compile. * The `Compiler` trait in the `wasmtime_environ` crate has been souped up with a number of methods that Wasmtime and other crates needed. * The `wasmtime-debug` crate is now moved entirely behind the `wasmtime-cranelift` crate. * The `wasmtime-cranelift` crate is now only depended on by the `wasmtime-jit` crate. * Wasm types in `cranelift-wasm` no longer contain their IR type, instead they only contain the `WasmType`. This is required to get everything to align correctly but will also be required in a future refactoring where the types used by `cranelift-wasm` will be extracted to a separate crate. * I moved around a fair bit of code in `wasmtime-cranelift`. * Some gdb-specific jit-specific code has moved from `wasmtime-debug` to `wasmtime-jit`.

Installation
The Wasmtime CLI can be installed on Linux and macOS with a small install script:
$ curl https://wasmtime.dev/install.sh -sSf | bash
Windows or otherwise interested users can download installers and binaries directly from the GitHub Releases page.
Example
If you've got the Rust compiler installed then you can take some Rust source code:
fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");
}
and compile/run it with:
$ rustup target add wasm32-wasi
$ rustc hello.rs --target wasm32-wasi
$ wasmtime hello.wasm
Hello, world!
Features
-
Lightweight. Wasmtime is a standalone runtime for WebAssembly that scales with your needs. It fits on tiny chips as well as makes use of huge servers. Wasmtime can be embedded into almost any application too.
-
Fast. Wasmtime is built on the optimizing Cranelift code generator to quickly generate high-quality machine code at runtime.
-
Configurable. Whether you need to precompile your wasm ahead of time, generate code blazingly fast with Lightbeam, or interpret it at runtime, Wasmtime has you covered for all your wasm-executing needs.
-
WASI. Wasmtime supports a rich set of APIs for interacting with the host environment through the WASI standard.
-
Standards Compliant. Wasmtime passes the official WebAssembly test suite, implements the official C API of wasm, and implements future proposals to WebAssembly as well. Wasmtime developers are intimately engaged with the WebAssembly standards process all along the way too.
Language Support
You can use Wasmtime from a variety of different languages through embeddings of the implementation:
- Rust - the
wasmtimecrate - C - the
wasm.h,wasi.h, andwasmtime.hheaders - [C++] - the
wasmtime-cpprepository - Python - the
wasmtimePyPI package - .NET - the
WasmtimeNuGet package - Go - the
wasmtime-gorepository
