Previously, our pattern-matching for generating load/store addresses was
somewhat limited. For example, it could not use a register-extend
address mode to handle the following CLIF:
```
v2760 = uextend.i64 v985
v2761 = load.i64 notrap aligned readonly v1
v1018 = iadd v2761, v2760
store v1017, v1018
```
This PR adds more general support for address expressions made up of
additions and extensions. In particular, it pattern-matches a tree of
64-bit `iadd`s, optionally with `uextend`/`sextend` from 32-bit values
at the leaves, to collect the list of all addends that form the address.
It also collects all offsets at leaves, combining them.
It applies a series of heuristics to make the best use of the
available addressing modes, filling the load/store itself with as many
64-bit registers, zero/sign-extended 32-bit registers, and/or an offset,
then computing the rest with add instructions as necessary. It attempts
to make use of immediate forms (add-immediate or subtract-immediate)
whenever possible, and also uses the built-in extend operators on add
instructions when possible. There are certainly cases where this is not
optimal (i.e., does not generate the strictly shortest sequence of
instructions), but it should be good enough for most code.
Using `perf stat` to measure instruction count (runtime only, on
wasmtime, after populating the cache to avoid measuring compilation),
this impacts `bz2` as follows:
```
pre:
1006.410425 task-clock (msec) # 1.000 CPUs utilized
113 context-switches # 0.112 K/sec

```
In other words, this reduces instruction count by 4.1% on `bz2`.
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
