* Refactor the structure and responsibilities of `CodeGenContext` This commit refactors how the `CodeGenContext` is used throughout the code generation process, making it easier to pass it around when more flexibility is desired in the MacroAssembler to perform the lowering of certain instructions. As of this change, the responsibility of the `CodeGenContext` is to provide an interface for operations that require an orchestration between the register allocator, the value stack and function's frame. The MacroAssembler is removed from the CodeGenContext as is passed as a dependency where needed, effectly using it as an independent code generation interface only. By giving more responsibilities to the `CodeGenContext` we can clearly separate the concerns of the register allocator, which previously did more than it should (e.g. popping values and spilling). This change ultimately allows passing in the `CodeGenContext` to the `MacroAssembler` when a given instruction cannot be generically described through a common interface. Allowing each implementation to decide the best way to lower a particular instruction. * winch: Add support for the WebAssembly `<i32|i64>.div_*` instructions Given that some architectures have very specific requirements on how to handle division, this change uses `CodeGenContext` as a dependency to the `div` MacroAssembler instruction to ensure that each implementation can decide on how to lower the division. This approach also allows -- in architectures where division can be expressed as an ordinary binary operation -- to rely on the `CodeGenContext::i32_binop` or `CodeGenContext::i64_binop` helpers.

Installation
The Wasmtime CLI can be installed on Linux and macOS (locally) with a small install script:
curl https://wasmtime.dev/install.sh -sSf | bash
Windows or otherwise interested users can download installers and binaries directly from the GitHub Releases page.
Example
If you've got the Rust compiler installed then you can take some Rust source code:
fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");
}
and compile/run it with:
$ rustup target add wasm32-wasi
$ rustc hello.rs --target wasm32-wasi
$ wasmtime hello.wasm
Hello, world!
Features
-
Fast. Wasmtime is built on the optimizing Cranelift code generator to quickly generate high-quality machine code either at runtime or ahead-of-time. Wasmtime is optimized for efficient instantiation, low-overhead calls between the embedder and wasm, and scalability of concurrent instances.
-
Secure. Wasmtime's development is strongly focused on correctness and security. Building on top of Rust's runtime safety guarantees, each Wasmtime feature goes through careful review and consideration via an RFC process. Once features are designed and implemented, they undergo 24/7 fuzzing donated by Google's OSS Fuzz. As features stabilize they become part of a release, and when things go wrong we have a well-defined security policy in place to quickly mitigate and patch any issues. We follow best practices for defense-in-depth and integrate protections and mitigations for issues like Spectre. Finally, we're working to push the state-of-the-art by collaborating with academic researchers to formally verify critical parts of Wasmtime and Cranelift.
-
Configurable. Wasmtime uses sensible defaults, but can also be configured to provide more fine-grained control over things like CPU and memory consumption. Whether you want to run Wasmtime in a tiny environment or on massive servers with many concurrent instances, we've got you covered.
-
WASI. Wasmtime supports a rich set of APIs for interacting with the host environment through the WASI standard.
-
Standards Compliant. Wasmtime passes the official WebAssembly test suite, implements the official C API of wasm, and implements future proposals to WebAssembly as well. Wasmtime developers are intimately engaged with the WebAssembly standards process all along the way too.
