* Allow any type which implements Handle to act as stdio There have been requests to allow more than just raw OS handles to act as stdio in `wasi-common`. This commit makes this possible by loosening the requirement of the `WasiCtxBuilder` to accept any type `T: Handle + 'static` to act as any of the stdio handles. A couple words about correctness of this approach. Currently, since we only have a single `Handle` super-trait to represent all possible WASI handle types (files, dirs, stdio, pipes, virtual, etc.), it is possible to pass in any type to act as stdio which can be wrong. However, I envision this being a problem only in the near(est) future until we work out how to split `Handle` into several traits, each representing a different type of WASI resource. In this particular case, this would be a resource which would implement the interface required for a handle to act as a stdio (with appropriate rights, etc.). * Use OsFile in c-api * Add some documention to the types exposed by this PR, and a few others Signed-off-by: Jakub Konka <kubkon@jakubkonka.com> * Add construction examples and missing docs for Handle trait * Fix example on Windows * Merge wasi_preview_builder into create_preview1_instance Co-authored-by: Pat Hickey <pat@moreproductive.org>
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-go repository
