* Pull `Module` out of `ModuleTextBuilder` This commit is the first in what will likely be a number towards preparing for serializing a compiled component to bytes, a precompiled artifact. To that end my rough plan is to merge all of the compiled artifacts for a component into one large object file instead of having lots of separate object files and lots of separate mmaps to manage. To that end I plan on eventually using `ModuleTextBuilder` to build one large text section for all core wasm modules and trampolines, meaning that `ModuleTextBuilder` is no longer specific to one module. I've extracted out functionality such as function name calculation as well as relocation resolving (now a closure passed in) in preparation for this. For now this just keeps tests passing, and the trajectory for this should become more clear over the following commits. * Remove component-specific object emission This commit removes the `ComponentCompiler::emit_obj` function in favor of `Compiler::emit_obj`, now renamed `append_code`. This involved significantly refactoring code emission to take a flat list of functions into `append_code` and the caller is responsible for weaving together various "families" of functions and un-weaving them afterwards. * Consolidate ELF parsing in `CodeMemory` This commit moves the ELF file parsing and section iteration from `CompiledModule` into `CodeMemory` so one location keeps track of section ranges and such. This is in preparation for sharing much of this code with components which needs all the same sections to get tracked but won't be using `CompiledModule`. A small side benefit from this is that the section parsing done in `CodeMemory` and `CompiledModule` is no longer duplicated. * Remove separately tracked traps in components Previously components would generate an "always trapping" function and the metadata around which pc was allowed to trap was handled manually for components. With recent refactorings the Wasmtime-standard trap section in object files is now being generated for components as well which means that can be reused instead of custom-tracking this metadata. This commit removes the manual tracking for the `always_trap` functions and plumbs the necessary bits around to make components look more like modules. * Remove a now-unnecessary `Arc` in `Module` Not expected to have any measurable impact on performance, but complexity-wise this should make it a bit easier to understand the internals since there's no longer any need to store this somewhere else than its owner's location. * Merge compilation artifacts of components This commit is a large refactoring of the component compilation process to produce a single artifact instead of multiple binary artifacts. The core wasm compilation process is refactored as well to share as much code as necessary with the component compilation process. This method of representing a compiled component necessitated a few medium-sized changes internally within Wasmtime: * A new data structure was created, `CodeObject`, which represents metadata about a single compiled artifact. This is then stored as an `Arc` within a component and a module. For `Module` this is always uniquely owned and represents a shuffling around of data from one owner to another. For a `Component`, however, this is shared amongst all loaded modules and the top-level component. * The "module registry" which is used for symbolicating backtraces and for trap information has been updated to account for a single region of loaded code holding possibly multiple modules. This involved adding a second-level `BTreeMap` for now. This will likely slow down instantiation slightly but if it poses an issue in the future this should be able to be represented with a more clever data structure. This commit additionally solves a number of longstanding issues with components such as compiling only one host-to-wasm trampoline per signature instead of possibly once-per-module. Additionally the `SignatureCollection` registration now happens once-per-component instead of once-per-module-within-a-component. * Fix compile errors from prior commits * Support AOT-compiling components This commit adds support for AOT-compiled components in the same manner as `Module`, specifically adding: * `Engine::precompile_component` * `Component::serialize` * `Component::deserialize` * `Component::deserialize_file` Internally the support for components looks quite similar to `Module`. All the prior commits to this made adding the support here (unsurprisingly) easy. Components are represented as a single object file as are modules, and the functions for each module are all piled into the same object file next to each other (as are areas such as data sections). Support was also added here to quickly differentiate compiled components vs compiled modules via the `e_flags` field in the ELF header. * Prevent serializing exported modules on components The current representation of a module within a component means that the implementation of `Module::serialize` will not work if the module is exported from a component. The reason for this is that `serialize` doesn't actually do anything and simply returns the underlying mmap as a list of bytes. The mmap, however, has `.wasmtime.info` describing component metadata as opposed to this module's metadata. While rewriting this section could be implemented it's not so easy to do so and is otherwise seen as not super important of a feature right now anyway. * Fix windows build * Fix an unused function warning * Update crates/environ/src/compilation.rs Co-authored-by: Nick Fitzgerald <fitzgen@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Nick Fitzgerald <fitzgen@gmail.com>

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
-
Fast. Wasmtime is built on the optimizing Cranelift code generator to quickly generate high-quality machine code either at runtime or ahead-of-time. Wasmtime is optimized for efficient instantiation, low-overhead calls between the embedder and wasm, and scalability of concurrent instances.
-
Secure. Wasmtime's development is strongly focused on correctness and security. Building on top of Rust's runtime safety guarantees, each Wasmtime feature goes through careful review and consideration via an RFC process. Once features are designed and implemented, they undergo 24/7 fuzzing donated by Google's OSS Fuzz. As features stabilize they become part of a release, and when things go wrong we have a well-defined security policy in place to quickly mitigate and patch any issues. We follow best practices for defense-in-depth and integrate protections and mitigations for issues like Spectre. Finally, we're working to push the state-of-the-art by collaborating with academic researchers to formally verify critical parts of Wasmtime and Cranelift.
-
Configurable. Wasmtime uses sensible defaults, but can also be configured to provide more fine-grained control over things like CPU and memory consumption. Whether you want to run Wasmtime in a tiny environment or on massive servers with many concurrent instances, we've got you covered.
-
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.
