* Compute instance exports on demand. Instead having instances eagerly compute a Vec of Externs, and bumping the refcount for each Extern, compute Externs on demand. This also enables `Instance::get_export` to avoid doing a linear search. This also means that the closure returned by `get0` and friends now holds an `InstanceHandle` to dynamically hold the instance live rather than being scoped to a lifetime. * Compute module imports and exports on demand too. And compute Extern::ty on demand too. * Add a utility function for computing an ExternType. * Add a utility function for looking up a function's signature. * Add a utility function for computing the ValType of a Global. * Rename wasmtime_environ::Export to EntityIndex. This helps differentiate it from other Export types in the tree, and describes what it is. * Fix a typo in a comment. * Simplify module imports and exports. * Make `Instance::exports` return the export names. This significantly simplifies the public API, as it's relatively common to need the names, and this avoids the need to do a zip with `Module::exports`. This also changes `ImportType` and `ExportType` to have public members instead of private members and accessors, as I find that simplifies the usage particularly in cases where there are temporary instances. * Remove `Instance::module`. This doesn't quite remove `Instance`'s `module` member, it gets a step closer. * Use a InstanceHandle utility function. * Don't consume self in the `Func::get*` methods. Instead, just create a closure containing the instance handle and the export for them to call. * Use `ExactSizeIterator` to avoid needing separate `num_*` methods. * Rename `Extern::func()` etc. to `into_func()` etc. * Revise examples to avoid using `nth`. * Add convenience methods to instance for getting specific extern types. * Use the convenience functions in more tests and examples. * Avoid cloning strings for `ImportType` and `ExportType`. * Remove more obviated clone() calls. * Simplify `Func`'s closure state. * Make wasmtime::Export's fields private. This makes them more consistent with ExportType. * Fix compilation error. * Make a lifetime parameter explicit, and use better lifetime names. Instead of 'me, use 'instance and 'module to make it clear what the lifetime is. * More lifetime cleanups.
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-go repository
