* Refactor the `types.rs` types and structures A few changes applied along the way: * Documentation added to most methods and types. * Limits are now stored with the maximum as optional rather than a sentinel u32 value for `None`. * The `Name` type was removed in favor of just using a bare `String`. * The `Extern` prefix in the varaints of `ExternType` has been removed since it was redundant. * Accessors of `ExternType` variants no longer panic, and unwrapping versions were added with "unwrap" in the name. * Fields and methods named `r#type` were renamed to `ty` to avoid requiring a raw identifier to use them. * Remove `fail-fast: false` This was left around since the development of GitHub Actions for wasmtime, but they're no longer needed! * Fix compilation of the test-programs code * Fix compilation of wasmtime-py package * Run rustfmt
Wasmtime: a WebAssembly Runtime
A Bytecode Alliance project
Wasmtime is a standalone wasm-only optimizing runtime for WebAssembly and WASI. It runs WebAssembly code outside of the Web, and can be used both as a command-line utility or as a library embedded in a larger application.
To get started, visit wasmtime.dev.
There are Rust, C, and C++ toolchains that can compile programs with WASI. See the WASI intro for more information, and the WASI tutorial for a tutorial on compiling and running programs using WASI and wasmtime, as well as an overview of the filesystem sandboxing system.
Wasmtime passes the WebAssembly spec testsuite. To run it, update the
tests/spec_testsuite submodule with git submodule update --remote, and it
will be run as part of cargo test.
Wasmtime does not yet implement Spectre mitigations, however this is a subject of ongoing research.
Additional goals for Wasmtime include:
- Support a variety of host APIs (not just WASI), with fast calling sequences, and develop proposals for additional API modules to be part of WASI.
- Facilitate development and testing around the Cranelift and Lightbeam JITs, and other WebAssembly execution strategies.
- Develop a native ABI used for compiling WebAssembly suitable for use in both JIT and AOT to native object files.
Including Wasmtime in your project
Wasmtime exposes an API for embedding as a library through the wasmtime subcrate,
which contains both a high-level and safe Rust API, as well as a C-compatible API
compatible with the proposed WebAssembly C API.
For more information, see the Rust API embedding chapter of the Wasmtime documentation.
It's Wasmtime.
