* Replace the global-exports mechanism with a caller-vmctx mechanism. This eliminates the global exports mechanism, and instead adds a caller-vmctx argument to wasm functions so that WASI can obtain the memory and other things from the caller rather than looking them up in a global registry. This replaces #390. * Fixup some merge conflicts * Rustfmt * Ensure VMContext is aligned to 16 bytes With the removal of `global_exports` it "just so happens" that this isn't happening naturally any more. * Fixup some bugs with double vmctx in wasmtime crate * Trampoline stub needed adjusting * Use pointer type instead of always using I64 for caller vmctx * Don't store `ir::Signature` in `Func` since we don't know the pointer size at creation time. * Skip the first 2 arguments in IR signatures since that's the two vmctx parameters. * Update cranelift to 0.56.0 * Handle more merge conflicts * Rustfmt Co-authored-by: Alex Crichton <alex@alexcrichton.com>
wasmtime-rust - Using WebAssembly from Rust
This crate is intended to be an example of how to load WebAssembly files from a
native Rust application. You can always use wasmtime and its family of crates
directly, but the purpose of this crate is to provide an ergonomic macro:
#[wasmtime_rust::wasmtime]
trait WasmMarkdown {
fn render(&mut self, input: &str) -> String;
}
fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let mut markdown = WasmMarkdown::load_file("markdown.wasm")?;
println!("{}", markdown.render("# Hello, Rust!"));
Ok(())
}
The wasmtime macro defined in the wasmtime-rust crate is placed on a trait
which includes the set of functionality which a wasm module should export. In
this case we're expecting one render function which takes and returns a
string.
The macro expands to a struct with all of the methods on the trait (they must
all be &mut self) and one function called load_file to actually instantiate
the module.
Note that this macro is still in early stages of development, so error messages aren't great yet and all functionality isn't supported yet.
Missing features
Currently if the wasm module imports any symbols outside of the WASI namespace the module will not load. It's intended that support for this will be added soon though!
