While working with the runtime `Memory` object, it became clear that
some refactoring was needed. In order to implement shared memory from
the threads proposal, we must be able to atomically change the memory
size. Previously, the split into variants, `Memory::Static` and
`Memory::Dynamic`, made any attempt to lock forced us to duplicate logic
in various places.
This change moves `enum Memory { Static..., Dynamic... }` to simply
`struct Memory(Box<dyn RuntimeLinearMemory>)`. A new type,
`ExternalMemory`, takes the place of `Memory::Static` and also
implements the `RuntimeLinearMemory` trait, allowing `Memory` to contain
the same two options as before: `MmapMemory` for `Memory::Dynamic` and
`ExternalMemory` for `Memory::Static`. To interface with the
`PoolingAllocator`, this change also required the ability to downcast to
the internal representation.
Wasmtime Embedding API
The wasmtime crate is an embedding API of the wasmtime WebAssembly runtime.
This is intended to be used in Rust projects and provides a high-level API of
working with WebAssembly modules.
If you're interested in embedding wasmtime in other languages, you may wish to
take a look a the C embedding API instead!
