* wasmtime: Pass around more contexts instead of fields This commit refactors some wasmtime internals to pass around more context-style structures rather than individual fields of each structure. The intention here is to make the addition of fields to a structure easier to plumb throughout the internals of wasmtime. Currently you need to edit lots of functions to pass lots of parameters, but ideally after this you'll only need to edit one or two struct fields and then relevant locations have access to the information already. Updates in this commit are: * `debug_info` configuration is now folded into `Tunables`. Additionally a `wasmtime::Config` now holds a `Tunables` directly and is passed into an internal `Compiler`. Eventually this should allow for direct configuration of the `Tunables` attributes from the `wasmtime` API, but no new configuration is exposed at this time. * `ModuleTranslation` is now passed around as a whole rather than passing individual components to allow access to all the fields, including `Tunables`. This was motivated by investigating what it would take to optionally allow loops and such to get interrupted, but that sort of codegen setting was currently relatively difficult to plumb all the way through and now it's hoped to be largely just an addition to `Tunables`. * Fix lightbeam compile

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
