🚀 Quick Start

Installation

Add this library to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
wasi-assembler = "0.1.0"

Basic Examples

Creating a Simple Exit Program

use wasi_assembler::WasiAssembler;

// Create a new WASI assembler instance
let mut assembler = WasiAssembler::new();

// Configure the assembler
assembler.set_target("wasm32-wasi");

// Create a simple WASI executable
let result = assembler.assemble_from_str(r#"
    (module
        (import "wasi_snapshot_preview1" "proc_exit" (func $proc_exit (param i32)))
        (func $main (export "_start")
            i32.const 0
            call $proc_exit
        )
    )
"#);

match result {
    Ok(wasm_bytes) => {
        println!("WASI executable generated successfully, bytes: {}", wasm_bytes.len());
        // Save WASM bytecode to file (ignored in tests)
        // std::fs::write("output.wasm", wasm_bytes).unwrap();
    }
    Err(e) => {
        eprintln!("Assembly failed: {}", e);
    }
}

Creating a Console Output Program

use wasi_assembler::WasiAssembler;

// Create a WASI program that outputs text to the console
let mut assembler = WasiAssembler::new();
assembler.set_target("wasm32-wasi");

let result = assembler.assemble_from_str(r#"
    (module
        (import "wasi_snapshot_preview1" "fd_write" (func $fd_write (param i32 i32 i32 i32) (result i32)))
        (import "wasi_snapshot_preview1" "proc_exit" (func $proc_exit (param i32)))
        (memory 1)
        (data (i32.const 0) "Hello, World!\n")
        (func $main (export "_start")
            ;; Write to stdout
            i32.const 1
            i32.const 0
            i32.const 1
            i32.const 16
            call $fd_write
            drop
            
            ;; Exit code 0
            i32.const 0
            call $proc_exit
        )
    )
"#);

match result {
    Ok(wasm_bytes) => {
        println!("WASI executable generated successfully, bytes: {}", wasm_bytes.len());
        // std::fs::write("hello.wasm", wasm_bytes).unwrap();
    }
    Err(e) => {
        eprintln!("Assembly failed: {}", e);
    }
}

📖 API Reference

Core Types and Structures

WasiProgram

High-level representation of a WASM program, which can represent a WebAssembly Component or a traditional core module.

pub struct WasiProgram {
    pub program_type: WasiProgramType,
    pub name: Option<String>,
    pub function_types: Vec<WasiFunctionType>,
    pub functions: Vec<WasiFunction>,
    pub exports: Vec<WasiExport>,
    pub imports: Vec<WasiImport>,
    pub memories: Vec<WasiMemory>,
    pub tables: Vec<WasiTable>,
    pub globals: Vec<WasiGlobal>,
    pub custom_sections: Vec<WasiCustomSection>,
    pub start_function: Option<u32>,
    pub component_items: Vec<WasiComponentItem>,
    pub core_modules: Vec<WasiCoreModule>,
    pub instances: Vec<WasiInstance>,
    pub aliases: Vec<WasiAlias>,
    pub symbol_table: HashMap<String, WasiSymbol>,
}

WasiProgramType

Program type enumeration:

pub enum WasiProgramType {
    Component,    // WebAssembly Component Model component
    CoreModule,   // Traditional WebAssembly core module
}

Assembler Interface

The main WasiAssembler struct provides the following methods:

• new(): Creates a new assembler instance.
• assemble_from_str(source: &str): Assembles WASI code from a string.
• assemble_from_file(path: &str): Assembles WASI code from a file.
• set_target(target: &str): Sets the target architecture.
• with_config(config: WasiConfig): Creates an assembler with custom configuration.

Module Structure

WASI Assembler Internal Documentation

This document is intended for project maintainers and contributors, detailing the module structure under the src directory, design philosophy, and how to conduct internal development and maintenance.

Module Overview

The src directory contains the core logic of the WASI assembler, mainly divided into the following modules:

• formats: Handles the parsing and generation of WebAssembly Text format (WAT) and Binary format (WASM).
• program: Defines the abstract representation of a WASI program, including functions, imports, exports, memory, etc.
• helpers: Provides various auxiliary functions and utility tools.
• lib.rs: The entry point of the project, coordinating various modules to complete assembly tasks.

Module Details

formats Module

This module is responsible for the low-level processing of WebAssembly formats. It is further divided into wasm and wat submodules.

formats/wasm

Handles the reading and writing of WebAssembly binary format. It mainly includes:

• reader: Used for parsing WASM bytecode and building internal representations.
• writer: Used for converting internal representations into WASM bytecode.
• view: Provides a view structure of the WASM module for debugging and analysis.
