* Auto-generate shims for old `wasi_unstable` module

This commit is effectively just doing what #707 already did, but
applying it to the `snapshot_0` module as well. The end result is the
same, where we cut down on all the boilerplate in `snapshot_0` and bring
it in line with the main `wasi_snapshot_preview1` implementation. The
goal here is to make it easier to change the two in tandem since they're
both doing the same thing.

* Migrate `wasi_common::hostcalls` to a macro

This commit migrates the `hostcalls` module to being auto-generated by a
macro rather than duplicating a handwritten signature for each wasi
syscall.

* Auto-generate snapshot_0's `hostcalls` module

Similar to the previous commit, but for `snapshot_0`

* Delete the `wasi-common-cbindgen` crate

This is no longer needed with the hostcalls macro now, we can easily
fold the definition of the cbindgen macro into the same crate.

* Rustfmt

* Fix windows build errors

* Rustfmt

* Remove now no-longer-necessary code

* rustfmt

wasi-common

A Bytecode Alliance project

A library providing a common implementation of WASI hostcalls for re-use in any WASI-enabled runtime.

Crates.io version Download docs.rs docs

The wasi-common crate will ultimately serve as a library providing a common implementation of WASI hostcalls for re-use in any WASI (and potentially non-WASI) runtimes such as Wasmtime and Lucet.

The library is an adaption of lucet-wasi crate from the Lucet project, and it is currently based on 40ae1df git revision.

Please note that the library requires Rust compiler version at least 1.37.0.

Supported syscalls

*nix

In our *nix implementation, we currently support the entire WASI API with the exception of socket hostcalls:

  • sock_recv
  • sock_send
  • sock_shutdown

We expect these to be implemented when network access is standardised.

We also currently do not support the proc_raise hostcall, as it is expected to be dropped entirely from WASI.

Windows

In our Windows implementation, we currently support the minimal subset of WASI API which allows for running the very basic "Hello world!" style WASM apps. More coming shortly, so stay tuned!

Development hints

When testing the crate, you may want to enable and run full wasm32 integration testsuite. This requires wasm32-wasi target installed which can be done as follows using rustup

rustup target add wasm32-wasi

Now, you should be able to run the integration testsuite by running cargo test on the test-programs package with test_programs feature enabled:

cargo test --features test_programs --package test-programs

Third-Party Code

Significant parts of our hostcall implementations are derived from the C implementations in cloudabi-utils. See LICENSE.cloudabi-utils for license information.
