* Bring back `Module::deserialize` I thought I was being clever suggesting that `Module::deserialize` was removed from #2791 by funneling all module constructors into `Module::new`. As our studious fuzzers have found, though, this means that `Module::new` is not safe currently to pass arbitrary user-defined input into. Now one might pretty reasonable expect to be able to do that, however, being a WebAssembly engine and all. This PR as a result separates the `deserialize` part of `Module::new` back into `Module::deserialize`. This means that binary blobs created with `Module::serialize` and `Engine::precompile_module` will need to be passed to `Module::deserialize` to "rehydrate" them back into a `Module`. This restores the property that it should be safe to pass arbitrary input to `Module::new` since it's always expected to be a wasm module. This also means that fuzzing will no longer attempt to fuzz `Module::deserialize` which isn't something we want to do anyway. * Fix an example * Mark `Module::deserialize` as `unsafe`
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
