wasi-common

Warning: this repo is now deprecated and read-only. The contents of this repo has now been moved into Wasmtime crate. If you have an issue, you'd like to raise, please submit it there.

This repo will ultimately serve as a library providing a common implementation of WASI hostcalls for re-use in any WASI (and potentially non-WASI) runtimes such as Wasmtime and Lucet.

The library is an adaption of lucet-wasi crate from the Lucet project, and it is currently based on 40ae1df git revision.

Please note that the library requires Rust compiler version at least 1.37.0.

Supported syscalls

*nix

In our *nix implementation, we currently support the entire WASI API with the exception of socket hostcalls:

• sock_recv
• sock_send
• sock_shutdown

We expect these to be implemented when network access is standardised.

We also currently do not support the proc_raise hostcall, as it is expected to be dropped entirely from WASI.

Windows

In our Windows implementation, we currently support the minimal subset of WASI API which allows for running the very basic "Hello world!" style WASM apps. More coming shortly, so stay tuned!

Development hints

When testing the crate, you may want to enable and run full wasm32 integration testsuite. This requires wasm32-wasi target installed which can be done as follows using rustup

rustup target add wasm32-wasi

Next initiate submodules containing the integration testsuite

git submodule update --init

Now, you should be able to run the integration testsuite by enabling the wasm_tests feature

cargo test --features wasm_tests

Third-Party Code

Significant parts of our hostcall implementations are derived from the C implementations in cloudabi-utils. See LICENSE.cloudabi-utils for license information.
