Alex Crichton e7e08f162d Preserve full native stack traces in errors (#823)
* Preserve full native stack traces in errors

This commit builds on #759 by performing a few refactorings:

* The `backtrace` crate is updated to 0.3.42 which incorporates the
  Windows-specific stack-walking code, so that's no longer needed.
* A full `backtrace::Backtrace` type is held in a trap at all times.
* The trap structures in the `wasmtime-*` internal crates were
  refactored a bit to preserve more information and deal with raw
  values rather than converting between various types and strings.
* The `wasmtime::Trap` type has been updated with these various changes.

Eventually I think we'll want to likely render full stack traces (and/or
partial wasm ones) into error messages, but for now that's left as-is
and we can always improve it later. I suspect the most relevant thing we
need to do is to implement function name symbolication for wasm
functions first, and then afterwards we can incorporate native function
names!

* Fix some test suite assertions

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.
