 * \file wasmtime/async.h
 *
 * \brief Wasmtime async functionality
 *
 * Async functionality in Wasmtime is well documented here:
 * https://docs.wasmtime.dev/api/wasmtime/#async
 *
 * All WebAssembly executes synchronously, but an async support enables the Wasm
 * code be executed on a separate stack, so it can be paused and resumed. There
 * are three mechanisms for yielding control from wasm to the caller: fuel,
 * epochs, and async host functions.
 *
 * When WebAssembly is executed, a `wasmtime_call_future_t` is returned. This
 * struct represents the state of the execution and each call to
 * `wasmtime_call_future_poll` will execute the WebAssembly code on a separate
 * stack until the function returns or yields control back to the caller.
 *
 * It's expected these futures are pulled in a loop until completed, at which
 * point the future should be deleted. Functions that return a
 * `wasmtime_call_future_t` are special in that all parameters to that function
 * should not be modified in any way and must be kept alive until the future is
 * deleted. This includes concurrent calls for a single store - another function
 * on a store should not be called while there is a `wasmtime_call_future_t`
 * alive.
 *
 * As for asynchronous host calls - the reverse contract is upheld. Wasmtime
 * will keep all parameters to the function alive and unmodified until the
 * `wasmtime_func_async_continuation_callback_t` returns true.
 *
