# `wasm32-unknown-unknown` | ||
|
||
**Tier: 2** | ||
|
||
The `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target is a WebAssembly compilation target which | ||
does not import any functions from the host for the standard library. This is | ||
the "minimal" WebAssembly in the sense of making the fewest assumptions about | ||
the host environment. This target is often used when compiling to the web or | ||
JavaScript environments as there is no standard for what functions can be | ||
imported on the web. This target can also be useful for creating minimal or | ||
bare-bones WebAssembly binaries. | ||
|
||
The `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target has support for the Rust standard library | ||
but many parts of the standard library do not work and return errors. For | ||
example `println!` does nothing, `std::fs` always return errors, and | ||
`std::thread::spawn` will panic. There is no means by which this can be | ||
overridden. For a WebAssembly target that more fully supports the standard | ||
library see the [`wasm32-wasip1`](./wasm32-wasip1.md) or | ||
[`wasm32-wasip2`](./wasm32-wasip2.md) targets. | ||
|
||
The `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target has full support for the `core` and `alloc` | ||
crates. It additionally supports the `HashMap` type in the `std` crate, although | ||
hash maps are not randomized like they are on other platforms. | ||
|
||
One existing user of this target (please feel free to edit and expand this list | ||
too) is the [`wasm-bindgen` project](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen) | ||
which facilitates Rust code interoperating with JavaScript code. Note, though, | ||
that not all uses of `wasm32-unknown-unknown` are using JavaScript and the web. | ||
|
||
## Target maintainers | ||
|
||
When this target was added to the compiler platform-specific documentation here | ||
was not maintained at that time. This means that the list below is not | ||
exhaustive and there are more interested parties in this target. That being | ||
said since when this document was last updated those interested in maintaining | ||
this target are: | ||
|
||
- Alex Crichton, https://github.com/alexcrichton | ||
|
||
## Requirements | ||
|
||
This target is cross-compiled. The target includes support for `std` itself, | ||
but as mentioned above many pieces of functionality that require an operating | ||
system do not work and will return errors. | ||
|
||
This target currently has no equivalent in C/C++. There is no C/C++ toolchain | ||
for this target. While interop is theoretically possible it's recommended to | ||
instead use one of: | ||
|
||
* `wasm32-unknown-emscripten` - for web-based use cases the Emscripten | ||
toolchain is typically chosen for running C/C++. | ||
* [`wasm32-wasip1`](./wasm32-wasip1.md) - the wasi-sdk toolchain is used to | ||
compile C/C++ on this target and can interop with Rust code. WASI works on | ||
the web so far as there's no blocker, but an implementation of WASI APIs | ||
must be either chosen or reimplemented. | ||
|
||
This target has no build requirements beyond what's in-tree in the Rust | ||
repository. Linking binaries requires LLD to be enabled for the `wasm-ld` | ||
driver. This target uses the `dlmalloc` crate as the default global allocator. | ||
|
||
## Building the target | ||
|
||
Building this target can be done by: | ||
|
||
* Configure the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target to get built. | ||
* Configure LLD to be built. | ||
* Ensure the `WebAssembly` target backend is not disabled in LLVM. | ||
|
||
These are all controlled through `config.toml` options. It should be possible | ||
to build this target on any platform. | ||
|
||
## Building Rust programs | ||
|
||
Rust programs can be compiled by adding this target via rustup: | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
$ rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown | ||
``` | ||
|
||
and then compiling with the target: | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
$ rustc foo.rs --target wasm32-unknown-unknown | ||
$ file foo.wasm | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Cross-compilation | ||
|
||
This target can be cross-compiled from any host. | ||
|
||
## Testing | ||
|
||
This target is not tested in CI for the rust-lang/rust repository. Many tests | ||
must be disabled to run on this target and failures are non-obvious because | ||
`println!` doesn't work in the standard library. It's recommended to test the | ||
`wasm32-wasip1` target instead for WebAssembly compatibility. | ||
|
||
## Conditionally compiling code | ||
|
||
It's recommended to conditionally compile code for this target with: | ||
|
||
```text | ||
#[cfg(all(target_family = "wasm", target_os = "unknown"))] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Note that there is no way to tell via `#[cfg]` whether code will be running on | ||
the web or not. | ||
|
||
## Enabled WebAssembly features | ||
|
||
WebAssembly is an evolving standard which adds new features such as new | ||
instructions over time. This target's default set of supported WebAssembly | ||
features will additionally change over time. The `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target | ||
inherits the default settings of LLVM which typically matches the default | ||
settings of Emscripten as well. | ||
|
||
Changes to WebAssembly go through a [proposals process][proposals] but reaching | ||
the final stage (stage 5) does not automatically mean that the feature will be | ||
enabled in LLVM and Rust by default. At this time the general guidance is that | ||
features must be present in most engines for a "good chunk of time" before | ||
they're enabled in LLVM by default. There is currently no exact number of | ||
months or engines that are required to enable features by default. | ||
|
||
[proposals]: https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals | ||
|
||
As of the time of this writing the proposals that are enabled by default (the | ||
`generic` CPU in LLVM terminology) are: | ||
|
||
* `multivalue` | ||
* `mutable-globals` | ||
* `reference-types` | ||
* `sign-ext` | ||
|
||
If you're compiling WebAssembly code for an engine that does not support a | ||
feature in LLVM's default feature set then the feature must be disabled at | ||
compile time. Note, though, that enabled features may be used in the standard | ||
library or precompiled libraries shipped via rustup. This means that not only | ||
does your own code need to be compiled with the correct set of flags but the | ||
Rust standard library additionally must be recompiled. | ||
|
||
Compiling all code for the initial release of WebAssembly looks like: | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
$ export RUSTFLAGS=-Ctarget-cpu=mvp | ||
$ cargo +nightly build -Zbuild-std=panic_abort,std --target wasm32-unknown-unknown | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Here the `mvp` "cpu" is a placeholder in LLVM for disabling all supported | ||
features by default. Cargo's `-Zbuild-std` feature, a Nightly Rust feature, is | ||
then used to recompile the standard library in addition to your own code. This | ||
will produce a binary that uses only the original WebAssembly features by | ||
default and no proposals since its inception. | ||
|
||
To enable individual features it can be done with `-Ctarget-feature=+foo`. | ||
Available features for Rust code itself are documented in the [reference] and | ||
can also be found through: | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
$ rustc -Ctarget-feature=help --target wasm32-unknown-unknown | ||
``` | ||
|
||
You'll need to consult your WebAssembly engine's documentation to learn more | ||
about the supported WebAssembly features the engine has. | ||
|
||
[reference]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/attributes/codegen.html#wasm32-or-wasm64 | ||
|
||
Note that it is still possible for Rust crates and libraries to enable | ||
WebAssembly features on a per-function level. This means that the build | ||
command above may not be sufficient to disable all WebAssembly features. If the | ||
final binary still has SIMD instructions, for example, the function in question | ||
will need to be found and the crate in question will likely contain something | ||
like: | ||
|
||
```rust,ignore (not-always-compiled-to-wasm) | ||
#[target_feature(enable = "simd128")] | ||
fn foo() { | ||
// ... | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
In this situation there is no compiler flag to disable emission of SIMD | ||
instructions and the crate must instead be modified to not include this function | ||
at compile time either by default or through a Cargo feature. For crate authors | ||
it's recommended to avoid `#[target_feature(enable = "...")]` except where | ||
necessary and instead use: | ||
|
||
```rust,ignore (not-always-compiled-to-wasm) | ||
#[cfg(target_feature = "simd128")] | ||
fn foo() { | ||
// ... | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
That is to say instead of enabling target features it's recommended to | ||
conditionally compile code instead. This is notably different to the way native | ||
platforms such as x86\_64 work, and this is due to the fact that WebAssembly | ||
binaries must only contain code the engine understands. Native binaries work so | ||
long as the CPU doesn't execute unknown code dynamically at runtime. |
