//! Definition of the "C ABI" of how imported functions interact with exported
//! tasks.
//!
//! Ok this crate is written in Rust, why in the world does this exist? This
//! comment is intended to explain this rationale but the tl;dr; is we want
//! this to work:
//!
//! * Within a single component ...
//! * One rust crate uses `wit-bindgen 0.A.0` to generate an exported function.
//! * One rust crate uses `wit-bindgen 0.B.0` to bind an imported function.
//! * The two crates are connected in the application with
//!   `std::future::Future`.
//!
//! Without this module this situation won't work because 0.A.0 has no
//! knowledge of 0.B.0 meaning that 0.B.0 has no means of inserting a `waitable`
//! into the `waitable-set` managed by 0.A.0's export.
//!
//! To solve this problem the long-term intention is that something will live
//! in `wasi-libc` itself, but in the meantime it's living "somewhere" within
//! `wit-bindgen 0.*.0`. Specifically all `wit-bindgen` versions will
//! reference, via C linkage, a single function which is used to manipulate a
//! single pointer in linear memory. This pointer is a `wasip3_task` structure
//! which has all the various fields to use it.
//!
//! The `wasip3_task_set` symbol is itself defined in C inside of the
//! `src/wit_bindgen_cabi.c` file at this time, specifically because it's
//! annotated with `__weak__` meaning that any definition of it suffices. This
//! isn't possible to define in stable Rust (specifically `__weak__`).
//!
//! Once `wasip3_task_set` is defined everything then operates via indirection,
//! aka based off the returned pointer. The intention is that exported functions
//! will set this (it's sort of like an executor) and then imported functions
//! will all use this as the source of registering waitables. In the end that
//! means that it's possible to share types with `std::future::Future` that
//! are backed at the ABI level with this "channel".
//!
//! In the future it's hoped that this can move into `wasi-libc` itself, or if
//! `wasi-libc` provides something else that would be prioritized over this.
//! For now this is basically an affordance that we're going to be frequently
//! releaseing new major versions of `wit-bindgen` and we don't want to force
//! applications to all be using the exact same version of the bindings
//! generator and async bindings.
//!
//! Additionally for now this file is serving as documentation of this
//! interface.
