* Leverage Cargo's workspace inheritance feature This commit is an attempt to reduce the complexity of the Cargo manifests in this repository with Cargo's workspace-inheritance feature becoming stable in Rust 1.64.0. This feature allows specifying fields in the root workspace `Cargo.toml` which are then reused throughout the workspace. For example this PR shares definitions such as: * All of the Wasmtime-family of crates now use `version.workspace = true` to have a single location which defines the version number. * All crates use `edition.workspace = true` to have one default edition for the entire workspace. * Common dependencies are listed in `[workspace.dependencies]` to avoid typing the same version number in a lot of different places (e.g. the `wasmparser = "0.89.0"` is now in just one spot. Currently the workspace-inheritance feature doesn't allow having two different versions to inherit, so all of the Cranelift-family of crates still manually specify their version. The inter-crate dependencies, however, are shared amongst the root workspace. This feature can be seen as a method of "preprocessing" of sorts for Cargo manifests. This will help us develop Wasmtime but shouldn't have any actual impact on the published artifacts -- everything's dependency lists are still the same. * Fix wasi-crypto tests
This crate contains array-based data structures used by the core Cranelift code generator which use densely numbered entity references as mapping keys.
One major difference between this crate and crates like slotmap, slab, and generational-arena is that this crate currently provides no way to delete entities. This limits its use to situations where deleting isn't important, however this also makes it more efficient, because it doesn't need extra bookkeeping state to reuse the storage for deleted objects, or to ensure that new objects always have unique keys (eg. slotmap's and generational-arena's versioning).
Another major difference is that this crate protects against using a key from
one map to access an element in another. Where SlotMap, Slab, and Arena
have a value type parameter, PrimaryMap has a key type parameter and a value
type parameter. The crate also provides the entity_impl macro which makes it
easy to declare new unique types for use as keys. Any attempt to use a key in
a map it's not intended for is diagnosed with a type error.
Another is that this crate has two core map types, PrimaryMap and
SecondaryMap, which serve complementary purposes. A PrimaryMap creates its
own keys when elements are inserted, while an SecondaryMap reuses the keys
values of a PrimaryMap, conceptually storing additional data in the same
index space. SecondaryMap's values must implement Default and all elements
in an SecondaryMap initially have the value of default().
A common way to implement Default is to wrap a type in Option, however
this crate also provides the PackedOption utility which can use less memory
in some cases.
Additional utilities provided by this crate include:
EntityList, for allocating many small arrays (such as instruction operand lists in a compiler code generator).SparseMap: an alternative toSecondaryMapwhich can use less memory in some situations.EntitySet: a specialized form ofSecondaryMapusing a bitvector to record which entities are members of the set.
