In the current translation of wasm (128-bit) SIMD into CLIF, we work around differences in the
type system models of wasm vs CLIF by inserting `bitcast` (a no-op cast) CLIF instructions before
more or less every use of a SIMD value. Unfortunately this was not being done consistently and
even small examples with a single if-then-else diamond that produces a SIMD value, could cause a
verification failure downstream. In this case, the jump out of the "else" block needed a
bitcast, but didn't have one.
This patch wraps creation of CLIF jumps and conditional branches up into three functions,
`canonicalise_then_jump` and `canonicalise_then_br{z,nz}`, and uses them consistently. They
first cast the relevant block formal parameters, then generate the relevant kind of branch/jump.
Hence, provided they are also used consistently in future to generate branches/jumps in this
file, we are protected against such failures.
The patch also adds a large(ish) comment at the top explaining this in more detail.
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-gorepository
