* Add resource limiting to the Wasmtime API. This commit adds a `ResourceLimiter` trait to the Wasmtime API. When used in conjunction with `Store::new_with_limiter`, this can be used to monitor and prevent WebAssembly code from growing linear memories and tables. This is particularly useful when hosts need to take into account host resource usage to determine if WebAssembly code can consume more resources. A simple `StaticResourceLimiter` is also included with these changes that will simply limit the size of linear memories or tables for all instances created in the store based on static values. * Code review feedback. * Implemented `StoreLimits` and `StoreLimitsBuilder`. * Moved `max_instances`, `max_memories`, `max_tables` out of `Config` and into `StoreLimits`. * Moved storage of the limiter in the runtime into `Memory` and `Table`. * Made `InstanceAllocationRequest` use a reference to the limiter. * Updated docs. * Made `ResourceLimiterProxy` generic to remove a level of indirection. * Fixed the limiter not being used for `wasmtime::Memory` and `wasmtime::Table`. * Code review feedback and bug fix. * `Memory::new` now returns `Result<Self>` so that an error can be returned if the initial requested memory exceeds any limits placed on the store. * Changed an `Arc` to `Rc` as the `Arc` wasn't necessary. * Removed `Store` from the `ResourceLimiter` callbacks. Custom resource limiter implementations are free to capture any context they want, so no need to unnecessarily store a weak reference to `Store` from the proxy type. * Fixed a bug in the pooling instance allocator where an instance would be leaked from the pool. Previously, this would only have happened if the OS was unable to make the necessary linear memory available for the instance. With these changes, however, the instance might not be created due to limits placed on the store. We now properly deallocate the instance on error. * Added more tests, including one that covers the fix mentioned above. * Code review feedback. * Add another memory to `test_pooling_allocator_initial_limits_exceeded` to ensure a partially created instance is successfully deallocated. * Update some doc comments for better documentation of `Store` and `ResourceLimiter`.

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
