* Remove explicit `S` type parameters
This commit removes the explicit `S` type parameter on `Func::typed` and
`Instance::get_typed_func`. Historical versions of Rust required that
this be a type parameter but recent rustcs support a mixture of explicit
type parameters and `impl Trait`. This removes, at callsites, a
superfluous `, _` argument which otherwise never needs specification.
* Fix mdbook examples
Implement Wasmtime's new API as designed by RFC 11. This is quite a large commit which has had lots of discussion externally, so for more information it's best to read the RFC thread and the PR thread.
* Bring back `Module::deserialize`
I thought I was being clever suggesting that `Module::deserialize` was
removed from #2791 by funneling all module constructors into
`Module::new`. As our studious fuzzers have found, though, this means
that `Module::new` is not safe currently to pass arbitrary user-defined
input into. Now one might pretty reasonable expect to be able to do
that, however, being a WebAssembly engine and all. This PR as a result
separates the `deserialize` part of `Module::new` back into
`Module::deserialize`.
This means that binary blobs created with `Module::serialize` and
`Engine::precompile_module` will need to be passed to
`Module::deserialize` to "rehydrate" them back into a `Module`. This
restores the property that it should be safe to pass arbitrary input to
`Module::new` since it's always expected to be a wasm module. This also
means that fuzzing will no longer attempt to fuzz `Module::deserialize`
which isn't something we want to do anyway.
* Fix an example
* Mark `Module::deserialize` as `unsafe`
* Move `Module::compile` to `Engine::precompile_module`.
* Remove `Module::deserialize` method.
* Make `Module::serialize` the same format as `Engine::precompile_module`.
* Make `Engine::precompile_module` return a `Vec<u8>`.
* Move the remaining serialization-related code to `serialization.rs`.
* Redo the statically typed `Func` API
This commit reimplements the `Func` API with respect to statically typed
dispatch. Previously `Func` had a `getN` and `getN_async` family of
methods which were implemented for 0 to 16 parameters. The return value
of these functions was an `impl Fn(..)` closure with the appropriate
parameters and return values.
There are a number of downsides with this approach that have become
apparent over time:
* The addition of `*_async` doubled the API surface area (which is quite
large here due to one-method-per-number-of-parameters).
* The [documentation of `Func`][old-docs] are quite verbose and feel
"polluted" with all these getters, making it harder to understand the
other methods that can be used to interact with a `Func`.
* These methods unconditionally pay the cost of returning an owned `impl
Fn` with a `'static` lifetime. While cheap, this is still paying the
cost for cloning the `Store` effectively and moving data into the
closed-over environment.
* Storage of the return value into a struct, for example, always
requires `Box`-ing the returned closure since it otherwise cannot be
named.
* Recently I had the desire to implement an "unchecked" path for
invoking wasm where you unsafely assert the type signature of a wasm
function. Doing this with today's scheme would require doubling
(again) the API surface area for both async and synchronous calls,
further polluting the documentation.
The main benefit of the previous scheme is that by returning a `impl Fn`
it was quite easy and ergonomic to actually invoke the function. In
practice, though, examples would often have something akin to
`.get0::<()>()?()?` which is a lot of things to interpret all at once.
Note that `get0` means "0 parameters" yet a type parameter is passed.
There's also a double function invocation which looks like a lot of
characters all lined up in a row.
Overall, I think that the previous design is starting to show too many
cracks and deserves a rewrite. This commit is that rewrite.
The new design in this commit is to delete the `getN{,_async}` family of
functions and instead have a new API:
impl Func {
fn typed<P, R>(&self) -> Result<&Typed<P, R>>;
}
impl Typed<P, R> {
fn call(&self, params: P) -> Result<R, Trap>;
async fn call_async(&self, params: P) -> Result<R, Trap>;
}
This should entirely replace the current scheme, albeit by slightly
losing ergonomics use cases. The idea behind the API is that the
existence of `Typed<P, R>` is a "proof" that the underlying function
takes `P` and returns `R`. The `Func::typed` method peforms a runtime
type-check to ensure that types all match up, and if successful you get
a `Typed` value. Otherwise an error is returned.
Once you have a `Typed` then, like `Func`, you can either `call` or
`call_async`. The difference with a `Typed`, however, is that the
params/results are statically known and hence these calls can be much
more efficient.
This is a much smaller API surface area from before and should greatly
simplify the `Func` documentation. There's still a problem where
`Func::wrapN_async` produces a lot of functions to document, but that's
now the sole offender. It's a nice benefit that the
statically-typed-async verisons are now expressed with an `async`
function rather than a function-returning-a-future which makes it both
more efficient and easier to understand.
The type `P` and `R` are intended to either be bare types (e.g. `i32`)
or tuples of any length (including 0). At this time `R` is only allowed
to be `()` or a bare `i32`-style type because multi-value is not
supported with a native ABI (yet). The `P`, however, can be any size of
tuples of parameters. This is also where some ergonomics are lost
because instead of `f(1, 2)` you now have to write `f.call((1, 2))`
(note the double-parens). Similarly `f()` becomes `f.call(())`.
Overall I feel that this is a better tradeoff than before. While not
universally better due to the loss in ergonomics I feel that this design
is much more flexible in terms of what you can do with the return value
and also understanding the API surface area (just less to take in).

* Rename Typed to TypedFunc
* Implement multi-value returns through `Func::typed`
* Fix examples in docs
* Fix some more errors
* More test fixes
* Rebasing and adding `get_typed_func`
* Updating tests
* Fix typo
* More doc tweaks
* Tweak visibility on `Func::invoke`
* Fix tests again
* Moves CodeMemory, VMInterrupts and SignatureRegistry from Compiler
* CompiledModule holds CodeMemory and GdbJitImageRegistration
* Store keeps track of its JIT code
* Makes "jit_int.rs" stuff Send+Sync
* Adds the threads example.
* Compute instance exports on demand.
Instead having instances eagerly compute a Vec of Externs, and bumping
the refcount for each Extern, compute Externs on demand.
This also enables `Instance::get_export` to avoid doing a linear search.
This also means that the closure returned by `get0` and friends now
holds an `InstanceHandle` to dynamically hold the instance live rather
than being scoped to a lifetime.
* Compute module imports and exports on demand too.
And compute Extern::ty on demand too.
* Add a utility function for computing an ExternType.
* Add a utility function for looking up a function's signature.
* Add a utility function for computing the ValType of a Global.
* Rename wasmtime_environ::Export to EntityIndex.
This helps differentiate it from other Export types in the tree, and
describes what it is.
* Fix a typo in a comment.
* Simplify module imports and exports.
* Make `Instance::exports` return the export names.
This significantly simplifies the public API, as it's relatively common
to need the names, and this avoids the need to do a zip with
`Module::exports`.
This also changes `ImportType` and `ExportType` to have public members
instead of private members and accessors, as I find that simplifies the
usage particularly in cases where there are temporary instances.
* Remove `Instance::module`.
This doesn't quite remove `Instance`'s `module` member, it gets a step
closer.
* Use a InstanceHandle utility function.
* Don't consume self in the `Func::get*` methods.
Instead, just create a closure containing the instance handle and the
export for them to call.
* Use `ExactSizeIterator` to avoid needing separate `num_*` methods.
* Rename `Extern::func()` etc. to `into_func()` etc.
* Revise examples to avoid using `nth`.
* Add convenience methods to instance for getting specific extern types.
* Use the convenience functions in more tests and examples.
* Avoid cloning strings for `ImportType` and `ExportType`.
* Remove more obviated clone() calls.
* Simplify `Func`'s closure state.
* Make wasmtime::Export's fields private.
This makes them more consistent with ExportType.
* Fix compilation error.
* Make a lifetime parameter explicit, and use better lifetime names.
Instead of 'me, use 'instance and 'module to make it clear what the
lifetime is.
* More lifetime cleanups.
* Add a first-class way of accessing caller's exports
This commit is a continuation of #1237 and updates the API of `Func` to
allow defining host functions which have easy access to a caller's
memory in particular. The new APIs look like so:
* The `Func::wrap*` family of functions was condensed into one
`Func::wrap` function.
* The ABI layer of conversions in `WasmTy` were removed
* An optional `Caller<'_>` argument can be at the front of all
host-defined functions now.
The old way the wasi bindings looked up memory has been removed and is
now replaced with the `Caller` type. The `Caller` type has a
`get_export` method on it which allows looking up a caller's export by
name, allowing you to get access to the caller's memory easily, and even
during instantiation.
* Add a temporary note
* Move some docs
* Move all examples to a top-level directory
This commit moves all API examples (Rust and C) to a top-level
`examples` directory. This is intended to make it more discoverable and
conventional as to where examples are located. Additionally all examples
are now available in both Rust and C to see how to execute the example
in the language you're familiar with. The intention is that as more
languages are supported we'd add more languages as examples here too.
Each example is also accompanied by either a `*.wat` file which is
parsed as input, or a Rust project in a `wasm` folder which is compiled
as input.
A simple driver crate was also added to `crates/misc` which executes all
the examples on CI, ensuring the C and Rust examples all execute
successfully.
* Move `Func` to its own file
* Support `Func` imports with zero shims
This commit extends the `Func` type in the `wasmtime` crate with static
`wrap*` constructors. The goal of these constructors is to create a
`Func` type which has zero shims associated with it, creating as small
of a layer as possible between wasm code and calling imported Rust code.
This is achieved by creating an `extern "C"` shim function which matches
the ABI of what Cranelift will generate, and then the host function is
passed directly into an `InstanceHandle` to get called later. This also
enables enough inlining opportunities that LLVM will be able to see all
functions and inline everything to the point where your function is
called immediately from wasm, no questions asked.
* Support parsing the text format in `wasmtime` crate
This commit adds support to the `wasmtime::Module` type to parse the
text format. This is often quite convenient to support in testing or
tinkering with the runtime. Additionally the `wat` parser is pretty
lightweight and easy to add to builds, so it's relatively easy for us to
support as well!
The exact manner that this is now supported comes with a few updates to
the existing API:
* A new optional feature of the `wasmtime` crate, `wat`, has been added.
This is enabled by default.
* The `Module::new` API now takes `impl AsRef<[u8]>` instead of just
`&[u8]`, and when the `wat` feature is enabled it will attempt to
interpret it either as a wasm binary or as the text format. Note that
this check is quite cheap since you just check the first byte.
* A `Module::from_file` API was added as a convenience to parse a file
from disk, allowing error messages for `*.wat` files on disk to be a
bit nicer.
* APIs like `Module::new_unchecked` and `Module::validate` remain
unchanged, they require the binary format to be called.
The intention here is to make this as convenient as possible for new
developers of the `wasmtime` crate. By changing the default behavior
though this has ramifications such as, for example, supporting the text
format implicitly through the C API now.
* Handle review comments
* Update more tests to avoid usage of `wat` crate
* Go back to unchecked for now in wasm_module_new
Looks like C# tests rely on this?
* Don't require `Store` in `Instance` constructor
This can be inferred from the `Module` argument. Additionally add a
`store` accessor to an `Instance` in case it's needed to instantiate
another `Module`.
cc #708
* Update more constructors
* Fix a doctest
* Don't ignore store in `wasm_instance_new`
* Run rustfmt
* Remove `HostRef` from the `wasmtime` public API
This commit removes all remaining usages of `HostRef` in the public API
of the `wasmtime` crate. This involved a number of API decisions such
as:
* None of `Func`, `Global`, `Table`, or `Memory` are wrapped in `HostRef`
* All of `Func`, `Global`, `Table`, and `Memory` implement `Clone` now.
* Methods called `type` are renamed to `ty` to avoid typing `r#type`.
* Methods requiring mutability for external items now no longer require
mutability. The mutable reference here is sort of a lie anyway since
the internals are aliased by the underlying module anyway. This
affects:
* `Table::set`
* `Table::grow`
* `Memory::grow`
* `Instance::set_signal_handler`
* The `Val::FuncRef` type is now no longer automatically coerced to
`AnyRef`. This is technically a breaking change which is pretty bad,
but I'm hoping that we can live with this interim state while we sort
out the `AnyRef` story in general.
* The implementation of the C API was refactored and updated in a few
locations to account for these changes:
* Accessing the exports of an instance are now cached to ensure we
always hand out the same `HostRef` values.
* `wasm_*_t` for external values no longer have internal cache,
instead they all wrap `wasm_external_t` and have an unchecked
accessor for the underlying variant (since the type is proof that
it's there). This makes casting back and forth much more trivial.
This is all related to #708 and while there's still more work to be done
in terms of documentation, this is the major bulk of the rest of the
implementation work on #708 I believe.
* More API updates
* Run rustfmt
* Fix a doc test
* More test updates
This commit continues previous work and also #708 by removing the need
to use `HostRef<Module>` in the API of the `wasmtime` crate. The API
changes performed here are:
* The `Module` type is now itself internally reference counted.
* The `Module::store` function now returns the `Store` that was used to
create a `Module`
* Documentation for `Module` and its methods have been expanded.
* Remove the need for `HostRef<Module>`
This commit continues previous work and also #708 by removing the need
to use `HostRef<Module>` in the API of the `wasmtime` crate. The API
changes performed here are:
* The `Module` type is now itself internally reference counted.
* The `Module::store` function now returns the `Store` that was used to
create a `Module`
* Documentation for `Module` and its methods have been expanded.
* Fix compliation of test programs harness
* Fix the python extension
* Update `CodeMemory` to be `Send + Sync`
This commit updates the `CodeMemory` type in wasmtime to be both `Send`
and `Sync` by updating the implementation of `Mmap` to not store raw
pointers. This avoids the need for an `unsafe impl` and leaves the
unsafety as it is currently.
* Fix a typo
* Remove the need for `HostRef<Store>`
This commit goes through the public API of the `wasmtime` crate and
removes the need for `HostRef<Store>`, as discussed in #708. This commit
is accompanied with a few changes:
* The `Store` type now also implements `Default`, creating a new
`Engine` with default settings and returning that.
* The `Store` type now implements `Clone`, and is documented as being a
"cheap clone" aka being reference counted. As before there is no
supported way to create a deep clone of a `Store`.
* All APIs take/return `&Store` or `Store` instead of `HostRef<Store>`,
and `HostRef<T>` is left as purely a detail of the C API.
* The `global_exports` function is tagged as `#[doc(hidden)]` for now
while we await its removal.
* The `Store` type is not yet `Send` nor `Sync` due to the usage of
`global_exports`, but it is intended to become so eventually.
* Touch up comments on some examples
* Run rustfmt
This commit removes the need to use `HostRef<Engine>` in the Rust API.
Usage is retained in the C API in one location, but otherwise `Engine`
can always be used directly.
This is the first step of progress on #708 for the `Engine` type.
Changes here include:
* `Engine` is now `Clone`, and is documented as being cheap. It's not
intended that cloning an engine creates a deep copy.
* `Engine` is now both `Send` and `Sync`, and asserted to be so.
* Usage of `Engine` in APIs no longer requires or uses `HostRef`.
Several of the examples wrap the Instance in a HostRef, only to
immediately borrow it again to get the exports,and then never touch it
again. Simplify this by owning the Instance directly.
* Rename the `wasmtime_api` library to match the containing `wasmtime` crate
Commit d9ca508f80 renamed the
`wasmtime-api` crate to `wasmtime`, but left the name of the library it
contains as `wasmtime_api`.
It's fairly unusual for a crate to contain a library with a different
name, and it results in rather confusing error messages for a user; if
you list `wasmtime = "0.7"` in `Cargo.toml`, you can't `use
wasmtime::*`, you have to `use wasmtime_api::*;`.
Rename the `wasmtime_api` library to `wasmtime`.
* Stop renaming wasmtime to api on imports
Various users renamed the crate formerly known as wasmtime_api to api,
and then used api:: prefixes everywhere; change those all to wasmtime::
and drop the renaming.
* Migrate back to `std::` stylistically
This commit moves away from idioms such as `alloc::` and `core::` as
imports of standard data structures and types. Instead it migrates all
crates to uniformly use `std::` for importing standard data structures
and types. This also removes the `std` and `core` features from all
crates to and removes any conditional checking for `feature = "std"`
All of this support was previously added in #407 in an effort to make
wasmtime/cranelift "`no_std` compatible". Unfortunately though this
change comes at a cost:
* The usage of `alloc` and `core` isn't idiomatic. Especially trying to
dual between types like `HashMap` from `std` as well as from
`hashbrown` causes imports to be surprising in some cases.
* Unfortunately there was no CI check that crates were `no_std`, so none
of them actually were. Many crates still imported from `std` or
depended on crates that used `std`.
It's important to note, however, that **this does not mean that wasmtime
will not run in embedded environments**. The style of the code today and
idioms aren't ready in Rust to support this degree of multiplexing and
makes it somewhat difficult to keep up with the style of `wasmtime`.
Instead it's intended that embedded runtime support will be added as
necessary. Currently only `std` is necessary to build `wasmtime`, and
platforms that natively need to execute `wasmtime` will need to use a
Rust target that supports `std`. Note though that not all of `std` needs
to be supported, but instead much of it could be configured off to
return errors, and `wasmtime` would be configured to gracefully handle
errors.
The goal of this PR is to move `wasmtime` back to idiomatic usage of
features/`std`/imports/etc and help development in the short-term.
Long-term when platform concerns arise (if any) they can be addressed by
moving back to `no_std` crates (but fixing the issues mentioned above)
or ensuring that the target in Rust has `std` available.
* Start filling out platform support doc
* Tidy up the `hello` example for `wasmtime`
* Remove the `*.wat` and `*.wasm` files and instead just inline the
`*.wat` into the example.
* Touch up comments so they're not just a repeat of the `println!`
below.
* Move `*.wat` for `memory` example inline
No need to handle auxiliary files with the ability to parse it inline!
* Move `multi.wasm` inline into `multi.rs` example
* Move `*.wasm` for gcd example inline
* Move `*.wat` inline with `import_calling_export` test
* Remove checked in `lightbeam/test.wasm`
Instead move the `*.wat` into the source and parse it into wasm there.
* Run rustfmt
* Migrate from failure to thiserror and anyhow
The failure crate invents its own traits that don't use
std::error::Error (because failure predates certain features added to
Error); this prevents using ? on an error from failure in a function
using Error. The thiserror and anyhow crates integrate with the standard
Error trait instead.
This change does not attempt to semantically change or refactor the
approach to error-handling in any portion of the code, to ensure that
the change remains straightforward to review. Modules using specific
differentiated error types move from failure_derive and derive(Fail) to
thiserror and derive(Error). Modules boxing all errors opaquely move
from failure::Error to anyhow. Modules using String as an error type
continue to do so. Code using unwrap or expect continues to do so.
Drop Display implementations when thiserror can easily derive an
identical instance.
Drop manual traversal of iter_causes; anyhow's Debug instance prints the
chain of causes by default.
Use anyhow's type alias anyhow::Result<T> in place of
std::result::Result<T, anyhow::Error> whenever possible.
* wasm2obj: Simplify error handling using existing messages
handle_module in wasm2obj manually maps
cranelift_codegen::isa::LookupError values to strings, but LookupError
values already have strings that say almost exactly the same thing.
Rely on the strings from cranelift.
* wasmtime: Rely on question-mark-in-main
The main() wrapper around rmain() completely matches the behavior of
question-mark-in-main (print error to stderr and return 1), so switch to
question-mark-in-main.
* Update to walrus 0.13 and wasm-webidl-bindings 0.6
Both crates switched from failure to anyhow; updating lets us avoid a
translation from failure to anyhow within wasmtime-interface-types.
