near-vm-engine 0.17.1

Wasmer Engine abstraction
Documentation
near-vm-engine-0.17.1 has been yanked.

near-vm-engine

This crate is a fork of wasmer-engine. A significant number of things changed, but the documentation is not up-to-date yet.

This crate is the general abstraction for creating Engines in Wasmer.

Wasmer Engines are mainly responsible for two things:

  • Transform the compilation code (from any Wasmer Compiler) to create an Artifact,
  • Load anArtifact so it can be used by the user (normally, pushing the code into executable memory and so on).

It currently has three implementations:

  1. Universal with wasmer-engine-universal,
  2. Native with wasmer-engine-dylib,
  3. Object with wasmer-engine-staticlib.

Example Implementation

Please check wasmer-engine-dummy for an example implementation for an Engine.

Acknowledgments

This project borrowed some of the code of the trap implementation from the wasmtime-api, the code since then has evolved significantly.
