`funcref`s are implemented as `NonNull<VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc>`. This should be more efficient than using a `VMExternRef` that points at a `VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc` because it gets rid of an indirection, dynamic allocation, and some reference counting. Note that the null function reference is *NOT* a null pointer; it is a `VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc` that has a null `func_ptr` member. Part of #929
This is the wasmtime-runtime crate, which contains wasm runtime library
support, supporting the wasm ABI used by wasmtime-environ,
wasmtime-jit, and wasmtime-obj.
This crate does not make a host vs. target distinction; it is meant to be compiled for the target.
Most users will want to use the main wasmtime crate instead of using this
crate directly.
