* Replace resize+copy_from_slice with extend_from_slice Vec::resize initializes the new space, which is wasted effort if we're just going to call `copy_from_slice` on it immediately afterward. Using `extend_from_slice` is simpler, and very slightly faster. If the new size were bigger than the buffer we're copying from, then it would make sense to initialize the excess. But it isn't: it's always exactly the same size. * Move helpers from Context to CompiledCode These methods only use information from Context::compiled_code, so they should live on CompiledCode instead. * Remove an unnecessary #[cfg_attr] There are other uses of `#[allow(clippy::too_many_arguments)]` in this file, so apparently it doesn't need to be guarded by the "cargo-clippy" feature. * Fix a few comments Two of these were wrong/misleading: - `FunctionBuilder::new` does not clear the provided func_ctx. It does debug-assert that the context is already clear, but I don't think that's worth a comment. - `switch_to_block` does not "create values for the arguments." That's done by the combination of `append_block_params_for_function_params` and `declare_wasm_parameters`. * wasmtime-cranelift: Misc cleanups The main change is to use the `CompiledCode` reference we already had instead of getting it out of `Context` repeatedly. This removes a bunch of `unwrap()` calls. * wasmtime-cranelift: Factor out uncached compile

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
-
Fast. Wasmtime is built on the optimizing Cranelift code generator to quickly generate high-quality machine code either at runtime or ahead-of-time. Wasmtime is optimized for efficient instantiation, low-overhead calls between the embedder and wasm, and scalability of concurrent instances.
-
Secure. Wasmtime's development is strongly focused on correctness and security. Building on top of Rust's runtime safety guarantees, each Wasmtime feature goes through careful review and consideration via an RFC process. Once features are designed and implemented, they undergo 24/7 fuzzing donated by Google's OSS Fuzz. As features stabilize they become part of a release, and when things go wrong we have a well-defined security policy in place to quickly mitigate and patch any issues. We follow best practices for defense-in-depth and integrate protections and mitigations for issues like Spectre. Finally, we're working to push the state-of-the-art by collaborating with academic researchers to formally verify critical parts of Wasmtime and Cranelift.
-
Configurable. Wasmtime uses sensible defaults, but can also be configured to provide more fine-grained control over things like CPU and memory consumption. Whether you want to run Wasmtime in a tiny environment or on massive servers with many concurrent instances, we've got you covered.
-
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, CMake orwasmtimeConan package - C++ - the
wasmtime-cpprepository or usewasmtime-cppConan package - Python - the
wasmtimePyPI package - .NET - the
WasmtimeNuGet package - Go - the
wasmtime-gorepository
