* Implement imported/exported modules/instances This commit implements the final piece of the module linking proposal which is to flesh out the support for importing/exporting instances and modules. This ended up having a few changes: * Two more `PrimaryMap` instances are now stored in an `Instance`. The value for instances is `InstanceHandle` (pretty easy) and for modules it's `Box<dyn Any>` (less easy). * The custom host state for `InstanceHandle` for `wasmtime` is now `Arc<TypeTables` to be able to fully reconstruct an instance's types just from its instance. * Type matching for imports now has been updated to take instances/modules into account. One of the main downsides of this implementation is that type matching of imports is duplicated between wasmparser and wasmtime, leading to posssible bugs especially in the subtelties of module linking. I'm not sure how best to unify these two pieces of validation, however, and it may be more trouble than it's worth. cc #2094 * Update wat/wast/wasmparser * Review comments * Fix a bug in publish script to vendor the right witx Currently there's two witx binaries in our repository given the two wasi spec submodules, so this updates the publication script to vendor the right one.
wasmtime
A standalone runtime for WebAssembly
A Bytecode Alliance project
Guide | Contributing | Website | Chat
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
