wasmtime 42.0.2

High-level API to expose the Wasmtime runtime
Documentation
//! A small self-contained module to manage passing a `&mut dyn VMStore` across
//! function boundaries without it actually being a function parameter.
//!
//! Much of concurrent.rs and futures_and_streams.rs work with `Future` which
//! does not allow customizing state being passed to each poll of a future. In
//! Wasmtime, however, the mutable store is available during a calls to
//! `Future::poll`, but not across calls of `Future::poll`. That means that
//! effectively what we would ideally want is to thread `&mut dyn VMStore` as a
//! parameter to futures, but that's not possible with Rust's future trait.
//!
//! This module is the workaround to otherwise enable this which is to use
//! thread-local-storage instead to pass around this pointer. The goal of this
//! module is to enable the `set` API to pretend like it's passing a pointer as
//! a parameter to a closure and then `get` can be called to acquire this
//! parameter. This module is intentionally small and isolated to keep the
//! internal implementation details private and reduce the surface area that
//! must be audited for the `unsafe` blocks contained within.

    // hinges. The overall idea is that the pointer previously provided to
    // `set` is passed to the closure here but only at most once because it's
    // passed mutably. Thus there's a number of things that this takes care of:
    //
    // * The lifetime in `TryGet` that's handed out is anonymous via the
    //   type signature of `f`, meaning that it cannot be safely persisted
    //   outside that closure. That means that once `f` is returned this
    //   function has exclusive access to the store again.
    //
    // * If `STORAGE` is not set then that means `set` has not been configured,
    //   thus `TryGet::None` is yielded.
    //
    // * If `STORAGE` is set then we're guaranteed it's set for the entire
    //   lifetime of this function call, and we're also guaranteed that the
    //   pointer stored in there is the same pointer we'll be modifying for
    //   this whole function call.
    //
    // * The `STORAGE` pointer is read/written only in a scoped manner here and
    //   borrows of this value are not persisted for very long.
    //
    // With all of that put together it should make it such that this is a safe
    // reborrow of the store provided to `set` to pass to the closure `f` here.
