Alex Crichton 490d49a768 Adjust dependency directives between crates (#3420)
* Adjust dependency directives between crates

This commit is a preparation for the release process for Wasmtime. The
specific changes here are to delineate which crates are "public", and
all version requirements on non-public crates will now be done with
`=A.B.C` version requirements instead of today's `A.B.C` version
requirements.

The purpose for doing this is to assist with patch releases that might
happen in the future. Patch releases of wasmtime are already required to
not break the APIs of "public" crates, but no such guarantee is given
about "internal" crates. This means that a patch release runs the risk,
for example, of breaking an internal API. In doing so though we would
also need to release a new major version of the internal crate, but we
wouldn't have a great hole in the number scheme of major versions to do
so. By using `=A.B.C` requirements for internal crates it means we can
safely ignore strict semver-compatibility between releases of internal
crates for patch releases, since the only consumers of the crate will be
the corresponding patch release of the `wasmtime` crate itself (or other
public crates).

The `publish.rs` script has been updated with a check to verify that
dependencies on internal crates are all specified with an `=`
dependency, and dependnecies on all public crates are without a `=`
dependency. This will hopefully make it so we don't have to worry about
what to use where, we just let CI tell us what to do. Using this
modification all version dependency declarations have been updated.

Note that some crates were adjusted to simply remove their `version`
requirement in cases such as the crate wasn't published anyway (`publish
= false` was specified) or it's in the `dev-dependencies` section which
doesn't need version specifiers for path dependencies.

* Switch to normal sever deps for cranelift dependencies

These crates will now all be considered "public" where in patch releases
they will be guaranteed to not have breaking changes.

wasi-common

A Bytecode Alliance project

A library providing a common implementation of WASI hostcalls for re-use in any WASI-enabled runtime.

Crates.io version Download docs.rs docs

The wasi-common crate will ultimately serve as a library providing a common implementation of WASI hostcalls for re-use in any WASI (and potentially non-WASI) runtimes such as Wasmtime and Lucet.

The library is an adaption of lucet-wasi crate from the Lucet project, and it is currently based on 40ae1df git revision.

Please note that the library requires Rust compiler version at least 1.37.0.

Supported syscalls

*nix

In our *nix implementation, we currently support the entire WASI API with the exception of socket hostcalls:

  • sock_recv
  • sock_send
  • sock_shutdown

We expect these to be implemented when network access is standardised.

We also currently do not support the proc_raise hostcall, as it is expected to be dropped entirely from WASI.

Windows

In our Windows implementation, we currently support the minimal subset of WASI API which allows for running the very basic "Hello world!" style WASM apps. More coming shortly, so stay tuned!

Development hints

When testing the crate, you may want to enable and run full wasm32 integration testsuite. This requires wasm32-wasi target installed which can be done as follows using rustup

rustup target add wasm32-wasi

Now, you should be able to run the integration testsuite by running cargo test on the test-programs package with test-programs/test_programs feature enabled:

cargo test --features test-programs/test_programs --package test-programs
