* Remove the need for `HostRef<Module>` This commit continues previous work and also #708 by removing the need to use `HostRef<Module>` in the API of the `wasmtime` crate. The API changes performed here are: * The `Module` type is now itself internally reference counted. * The `Module::store` function now returns the `Store` that was used to create a `Module` * Documentation for `Module` and its methods have been expanded. * Fix compliation of test programs harness * Fix the python extension * Update `CodeMemory` to be `Send + Sync` This commit updates the `CodeMemory` type in wasmtime to be both `Send` and `Sync` by updating the implementation of `Mmap` to not store raw pointers. This avoids the need for an `unsafe impl` and leaves the unsafety as it is currently. * Fix a typo
wasmtime-rust - Using WebAssembly from Rust
This crate is intended to be an example of how to load WebAssembly files from a
native Rust application. You can always use wasmtime and its family of crates
directly, but the purpose of this crate is to provide an ergonomic macro:
#[wasmtime_rust::wasmtime]
trait WasmMarkdown {
fn render(&mut self, input: &str) -> String;
}
fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let mut markdown = WasmMarkdown::load_file("markdown.wasm")?;
println!("{}", markdown.render("# Hello, Rust!"));
Ok(())
}
The wasmtime macro defined in the wasmtime-rust crate is placed on a trait
which includes the set of functionality which a wasm module should export. In
this case we're expecting one render function which takes and returns a
string.
The macro expands to a struct with all of the methods on the trait (they must
all be &mut self) and one function called load_file to actually instantiate
the module.
Note that this macro is still in early stages of development, so error messages aren't great yet and all functionality isn't supported yet.
Missing features
Currently if the wasm module imports any symbols outside of the WASI namespace the module will not load. It's intended that support for this will be added soon though!
