* Improve panics/traps from imported functions This commit performs a few refactorings and fixes a bug as well. The changes here are: * The `thread_local!` in the `wasmtime` crate for trap information is removed. The thread local in the `wasmtime_runtime` crate is now leveraged to transmit trap information. * Panics in user-provided functions are now caught explicitly to be carried across JIT code manually. Getting Rust panics unwinding through JIT code is pretty likely to be super tricky and difficult to do, so in the meantime we can get by with catching panics and resuming the panic once we've resumed in Rust code. * Various take/record trap apis have all been removed in favor of working directly with `Trap` objects, where the internal trap object has been expanded slightly to encompass user-provided errors as well. This borrows a bit #839 and otherwise will... Closes #848 * Rename `r#return` to `ret`
Wasmtime: a WebAssembly Runtime
A Bytecode Alliance project
Wasmtime is a standalone wasm-only optimizing runtime for WebAssembly and WASI. It runs WebAssembly code outside of the Web, and can be used both as a command-line utility or as a library embedded in a larger application.
To get started, visit wasmtime.dev.
There are Rust, C, and C++ toolchains that can compile programs with WASI. See the WASI intro for more information, and the WASI tutorial for a tutorial on compiling and running programs using WASI and wasmtime, as well as an overview of the filesystem sandboxing system.
Wasmtime passes the WebAssembly spec testsuite. To run it, update the
tests/spec_testsuite submodule with git submodule update --remote, and it
will be run as part of cargo test.
Wasmtime does not yet implement Spectre mitigations, however this is a subject of ongoing research.
Additional goals for Wasmtime include:
- Support a variety of host APIs (not just WASI), with fast calling sequences, and develop proposals for additional API modules to be part of WASI.
- Facilitate development and testing around the Cranelift and Lightbeam JITs, and other WebAssembly execution strategies.
- Develop a native ABI used for compiling WebAssembly suitable for use in both JIT and AOT to native object files.
Including Wasmtime in your project
Wasmtime exposes an API for embedding as a library through the wasmtime subcrate,
which contains both a high-level and safe Rust API, as well as a C-compatible API
compatible with the proposed WebAssembly C API.
For more information, see the Rust API embedding chapter of the Wasmtime documentation.
It's Wasmtime.
