This patch implements, for aarch64, the following wasm SIMD extensions. v128.load32_zero and v128.load64_zero instructions https://github.com/WebAssembly/simd/pull/237 The changes are straightforward: * no new CLIF instructions. They are translated into an existing CLIF scalar load followed by a CLIF `scalar_to_vector`. * the comment/specification for CLIF `scalar_to_vector` has been changed to match the actual intended semantics, per consulation with Andrew Brown. * translation from `scalar_to_vector` to aarch64 `fmov` instruction. This has been generalised slightly so as to allow both 32- and 64-bit transfers. * special-case zero in `lower_constant_f128` in order to avoid a potentially slow call to `Inst::load_fp_constant128`. * Once "Allow loads to merge into other operations during instruction selection in MachInst backends" (https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/2340) lands, we can use that functionality to pattern match the two-CLIF pair and emit a single AArch64 instruction. * A simple filetest has been added. There is no comprehensive testcase in this commit, because that is a separate repo. The implementation has been tested, nevertheless.

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
