* wasmtime-wasi: re-exporting this WasiCtxBuilder was shadowing the right one wasi-common's WasiCtxBuilder is really only useful wasi_cap_std_sync and wasi_tokio to implement their own Builder on top of. This re-export of wasi-common's is 1. not useful and 2. shadow's the re-export of the right one in sync::*. * wasi-common: eliminate WasiCtxBuilder, make the builder methods on WasiCtx instead * delete wasi-common::WasiCtxBuilder altogether just put those methods directly on &mut WasiCtx. As a bonus, the sync and tokio WasiCtxBuilder::build functions are no longer fallible! * bench fixes * more test fixes

//! ## The `WasiFile` and `WasiDir` traits
|
|
//!
|
|
//! The WASI specification only defines one `handle` type, `fd`, on which all
|
|
//! operations on both files and directories (aka dirfds) are defined. We
|
|
//! believe this is a design mistake, and are architecting wasi-common to make
|
|
//! this straightforward to correct in future snapshots of WASI. Wasi-common
|
|
//! internally treats files and directories as two distinct resource types in
|
|
//! the table - `Box<dyn WasiFile>` and `Box<dyn WasiDir>`. The snapshot 0 and
|
|
//! 1 interfaces via `fd` will attempt to downcast a table element to one or
|
|
//! both of these interfaces depending on what is appropriate - e.g.
|
|
//! `fd_close` operates on both files and directories, `fd_read` only operates
|
|
//! on files, and `fd_readdir` only operates on directories.
|
|
|
|
//! The `WasiFile` and `WasiDir` traits are defined by `wasi-common` in terms
|
|
//! of types defined directly in the crate's source code (I decided it should
|
|
//! NOT those generated by the `wiggle` proc macros, see snapshot architecture
|
|
//! below), as well as the `cap_std::time` family of types. And, importantly,
|
|
//! `wasi-common` itself provides no implementation of `WasiDir`, and only two
|
|
//! trivial implementations of `WasiFile` on the `crate::pipe::{ReadPipe,
|
|
//! WritePipe}` types, which in turn just delegate to `std::io::{Read,
|
|
//! Write}`. In order for `wasi-common` to access the local filesystem at all,
|
|
//! you need to provide `WasiFile` and `WasiDir` impls through either the new
|
|
//! `wasi-cap-std-sync` crate found at `crates/wasi-common/cap-std-sync` - see
|
|
//! the section on that crate below - or by providing your own implementation
|
|
//! from elsewhere.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! This design makes it possible for `wasi-common` embedders to statically
|
|
//! reason about access to the local filesystem by examining what impls are
|
|
//! linked into an application. We found that this separation of concerns also
|
|
//! makes it pretty enjoyable to write alternative implementations, e.g. a
|
|
//! virtual filesystem (which will land in a future PR).
|
|
//!
|
|
//! ## Traits for the rest of WASI's features
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Other aspects of a WASI implementation are not yet considered resources
|
|
//! and accessed by `handle`. We plan to correct this design deficiency in
|
|
//! WASI in the future, but for now we have designed the following traits to
|
|
//! provide embedders with the same sort of implementation flexibility they
|
|
//! get with WasiFile/WasiDir:
|
|
//!
|
|
//! * Timekeeping: `WasiSystemClock` and `WasiMonotonicClock` provide the two
|
|
//! interfaces for a clock. `WasiSystemClock` represents time as a
|
|
//! `cap_std::time::SystemTime`, and `WasiMonotonicClock` represents time as
|
|
//! `cap_std::time::Instant`. * Randomness: we re-use the `cap_rand::RngCore`
|
|
//! trait to represent a randomness source. A trivial `Deterministic` impl is
|
|
//! provided. * Scheduling: The `WasiSched` trait abstracts over the
|
|
//! `sched_yield` and `poll_oneoff` functions.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Users can provide implementations of each of these interfaces to the
|
|
//! `WasiCtx::builder(...)` function. The
|
|
//! `wasi_cap_std_sync::WasiCtxBuilder::new()` function uses this public
|
|
//! interface to plug in its own implementations of each of these resources.
