When performing a function call, the platform ABI may require space on the stack to hold outgoing arguments and/or return values. Currently, this is supported via decrementing the stack pointer before the call and incrementing it afterwards, using the emit_stack_pre_adjust and emit_stack_post_adjust methods of ABICaller. However, on some platforms it would be preferable to just allocate enough space for any call done in the function in the caller's prologue instead. This patch adds support to allow back-ends to choose that method. Instead of calling emit_stack_pre/post_adjust around a call, they simply call a new accumulate_outgoing_args_size method of ABICaller instead. This will pass on the required size to the ABICallee structure of the calling function, which will accumulate the maximum size required for all function calls. That accumulated size is then passed to the gen_clobber_save and gen_clobber_restore functions so they can include the size in the stack allocation / deallocation that already happens in the prologue / epilogue code.
wasmtime
A standalone runtime for WebAssembly
A Bytecode Alliance project
Guide | Contributing | Website | Chat
Installation
The Wasmtime CLI can be installed on Linux and macOS 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
-
Lightweight. Wasmtime is a standalone runtime for WebAssembly that scales with your needs. It fits on tiny chips as well as makes use of huge servers. Wasmtime can be embedded into almost any application too.
-
Fast. Wasmtime is built on the optimizing Cranelift code generator to quickly generate high-quality machine code at runtime.
-
Configurable. Whether you need to precompile your wasm ahead of time, generate code blazingly fast with Lightbeam, or interpret it at runtime, Wasmtime has you covered for all your wasm-executing needs.
-
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.
Language Support
You can use Wasmtime from a variety of different languages through embeddings of the implementation:
- Rust - the
wasmtimecrate - C - the
wasm.h,wasi.h, andwasmtime.hheaders - Python - the
wasmtimePyPI package - .NET - the
WasmtimeNuGet package - Go - the
wasmtime-gorepository
