Andrew Brown a7f592a026 Add a crate to interface with the WebAssembly spec interpreter
The WebAssembly spec interpreter is written in OCaml and the new crate
uses `ocaml-interop` along with a small OCaml wrapper to interpret Wasm
modules in-process. The build process for this crate is currently
Linux-specific: it requires several OCaml packages (e.g. `apt install -y
ocaml-nox ocamlbuild`) as well as `make`, `cp`, and `ar`.

wasm-spec-interpreter

This project shows how to use ocaml-interop to call into the Wasm spec interpreter. There are several steps to making this work:

  • building the OCaml Wasm spec interpreter as a static library
  • building a Rust-to-OCaml FFI bridge using ocaml-interop and a custom OCaml wrapper
  • linking both things into a Rust crate

Dependencies

This crate only builds in an environment with:

  • make (the Wasm spec interpreter uses a Makefile)
  • ocamlopt, ocamlbuild (available with, e.g., dnf install ocaml)
  • Linux tools (e.g. ar); currently it is easiest to build the static libraries in a single environment but this could be fixed in the future (TODO)

Remember to retrieve the Wasm spec submodule:

git clone ... --recursive

Build

RUSTFLAGS=--cfg=fuzzing cargo build

Use FFI_LIB_DIR=path/to/lib/... to specify a different location for the static library (this is mainly for debugging). If the --cfg=fuzzing configuration is not provided, this crate will build successfully but fail at runtime.

Test

RUSTFLAGS=--cfg=fuzzing cargo test
