Add documentation and refactor `wasmtime-wasi` #8228

alexcrichton · 2024-03-24T16:13:03Z

Currently the wasmtime-wasi crate is pretty sparse on documentation and additionally had some papercuts in the API. I've attempted to document all the major bits with words and examples here in addition to performing some quality-of-life refactors for API usage in the future. I'd like to refactor the WASIp2 bits a bit more to make them a bit more similar to the WASIp1 bits too, but that's a larger refactoring for a future PR.

Closes #8187 (they're now at the same level)
Closes #8188 (I've synchronized interfaces added)

I'll note that wasmtime-wasi-http could still use some love as well, which I haven't touched in this PR.

This commit adds lots of missing documentation and examples to top-level types in `wasmtime-wasi`, mostly related to WASIp2. I've additionally made a number of small refactorings here to try to make the APIs a bit more straightforward and symmetric and simplify where I can. * Remove `bindings::wasi` (reexports are still present under `bindings`) * Rename `bindings::sync_io` to `bindings::sync` * Generate fewer bindings in `bindings::sync` that can be pulled in from the `bindings` module. * Change `WasiCtxBuilder::preopened_dir` to take a path instead of a `Dir` argument to avoid the need for another import. * Synchronize `wasmtime_wasi_http::{add_to_linker, sync::add_to_linker}` in terms of interfaces added. * Remove `wasmtime_wasi::command` and move the generated types to the `bindings` module. * Move top-level add-to-linker functions to `wasmtime_wasi::add_to_linker_sync` and `wasmtime_wasi::add_to_linker_async`. Closes bytecodealliance#8187 Closes bytecodealliance#8188

This commit adds documentation for the `wasmtime_wasi::preview1` module and additionally refactors it as well. Previously this was based on a similar design as WASIp2 with a "view trait" and various bits and pieces, but the design constraints of WASIp1 lends itself to a simpler solution of "just" passing around `WasiP1Ctx` instead. This goes back to what `wasi-common` did of sorts where the `add_to_linker_*` functions only need a projection from `&mut T` to `&mut WasiP1Ctx`, a concrete type, which simplifies the module and usage.

All good suggestions 👍

Redirecting review to @sunfishcode since I haven't ever really touched this crate.

I'll also tag @elliottt since he's worked on these crates as well

I'm unsure about sync vs. async_io. It seems like the previous sync_io contrasts more clearly with async_io

Ah the async_io name doesn't show up at all, that's just to contain everything and then reexport only the bits we need. The only modules here are bindings and bindings::sync, but these bindings are relatively rare to access since they're the raw traits/types that most embedders won't be working with.

+                .with_context(|| format!("failed to open directory '{}'", host))?;
+            builder.preopened_dir(dir, guest)?;


I'm confused by this. Why does the preopened_dir only take two arguments?

This is the old builder from wasi-common

+        wasmtime_wasi::bindings::random::random::add_to_linker(l, |t| t)?;


This might be out of scope for this PR but: is there a reason we need to add all the interfaces manually here? The world in the Wit level groups all these interfaces together, so it seems like the host-side bindings should be able to group all these together as well.

The main reason is that the auto-generated functions all take a closure that's fn(&mut T) -> &mut U but that's switched here to be T: WasiView. Otherwise though, you're right, and it's something I've wanted to clean up for awhile.

This looks great to me! Just a few questions/suggestions.

Why don't we consume self here?

This PR upgrades the version of `wasmtime` and `wasmtime-wasi` in use to v21.0.1. We have to skip v20 because Tree-sitter also skipped it. Here are the changes that had to be made: ### v19 -> v20 After upgrading the `wasmtime` packages to v20, I also had to run `cargo update -p mach2` to pull in [v0.4.2](https://github.com/JohnTitor/mach2/releases/tag/0.4.2) to fix some compile errors. There were a few minor API changes in `wasmtime-wasi` from bytecodealliance/wasmtime#8228 that we needed to account for. ### v20 -> v21 Since there isn't a Tree-sitter version that depends on `wasmtime@v20`, we're jumping straight to v21. The published version of Tree-sitter (v0.22.6) still depends on `wasmtime@v19`, but there was a commit (tree-sitter/tree-sitter@7f4a578) later that month that upgrades the `wasmtime` dependency to v21. We're patching Tree-sitter to that commit so we can get the new `wasmtime` version. The main change in v21 is that imports generated by `bindgen!` are no longer automatically trapped (bytecodealliance/wasmtime#8310), so we need to add `trappable_imports: true` to our `bindgen!` calls. Release Notes: - N/A
