pub struct Func(/* private fields */);
runtime
only.Expand description
A WebAssembly function which can be called.
This type typically represents an exported function from a WebAssembly
module instance. In this case a Func
belongs to an Instance
and is
loaded from there. A Func
may also represent a host function as well in
some cases, too.
Functions can be called in a few different ways, either synchronous or async
and either typed or untyped (more on this below). Note that host functions
are normally inserted directly into a Linker
rather than
using this directly, but both options are available.
§Func
and async
Functions from the perspective of WebAssembly are always synchronous. You
might have an async
function in Rust, however, which you’d like to make
available from WebAssembly. Wasmtime supports asynchronously calling
WebAssembly through native stack switching. You can get some more
information about asynchronous configs, but
from the perspective of Func
it’s important to know that whether or not
your Store
is asynchronous will dictate whether you call
functions through Func::call
or Func::call_async
(or the typed
wrappers such as TypedFunc::call
vs TypedFunc::call_async
).
§To Func::call
or to Func::typed().call()
There’s a 2x2 matrix of methods to call Func
. Invocations can either be
asynchronous or synchronous. They can also be statically typed or not.
Whether or not an invocation is asynchronous is indicated via the method
being async
and call_async
being the entry point.
Otherwise for statically typed or not your options are:
-
Dynamically typed - if you don’t statically know the signature of the function that you’re calling you’ll be using
Func::call
orFunc::call_async
. These functions take a variable-length slice of “boxed” arguments in theirVal
representation. Additionally the results are returned as an owned slice ofVal
. These methods are not optimized due to the dynamic type checks that must occur, in addition to some dynamic allocations for where to put all the arguments. While this allows you to call all possible wasm function signatures, if you’re looking for a speedier alternative you can also use… -
Statically typed - if you statically know the type signature of the wasm function you’re calling, then you’ll want to use the
Func::typed
method to acquire an instance ofTypedFunc
. This structure is static proof that the underlying wasm function has the ascripted type, and type validation is only done once up-front. TheTypedFunc::call
andTypedFunc::call_async
methods are much more efficient thanFunc::call
andFunc::call_async
because the type signature is statically known. This eschews runtime checks as much as possible to get into wasm as fast as possible.
§Examples
One way to get a Func
is from an Instance
after you’ve instantiated
it:
let engine = Engine::default();
let module = Module::new(&engine, r#"(module (func (export "foo")))"#)?;
let mut store = Store::new(&engine, ());
let instance = Instance::new(&mut store, &module, &[])?;
let foo = instance.get_func(&mut store, "foo").expect("export wasn't a function");
// Work with `foo` as a `Func` at this point, such as calling it
// dynamically...
match foo.call(&mut store, &[], &mut []) {
Ok(()) => { /* ... */ }
Err(trap) => {
panic!("execution of `foo` resulted in a wasm trap: {}", trap);
}
}
foo.call(&mut store, &[], &mut [])?;
// ... or we can make a static assertion about its signature and call it.
// Our first call here can fail if the signatures don't match, and then the
// second call can fail if the function traps (like the `match` above).
let foo = foo.typed::<(), ()>(&store)?;
foo.call(&mut store, ())?;
You can also use the wrap
function to create a
Func
let mut store = Store::<()>::default();
// Create a custom `Func` which can execute arbitrary code inside of the
// closure.
let add = Func::wrap(&mut store, |a: i32, b: i32| -> i32 { a + b });
// Next we can hook that up to a wasm module which uses it.
let module = Module::new(
store.engine(),
r#"
(module
(import "" "" (func $add (param i32 i32) (result i32)))
(func (export "call_add_twice") (result i32)
i32.const 1
i32.const 2
call $add
i32.const 3
i32.const 4
call $add
i32.add))
"#,
)?;
let instance = Instance::new(&mut store, &module, &[add.into()])?;
let call_add_twice = instance.get_typed_func::<(), i32>(&mut store, "call_add_twice")?;
assert_eq!(call_add_twice.call(&mut store, ())?, 10);
Or you could also create an entirely dynamic Func
!
let mut store = Store::<()>::default();
// Here we need to define the type signature of our `Double` function and
// then wrap it up in a `Func`
let double_type = wasmtime::FuncType::new(
store.engine(),
[wasmtime::ValType::I32].iter().cloned(),
[wasmtime::ValType::I32].iter().cloned(),
);
let double = Func::new(&mut store, double_type, |_, params, results| {
let mut value = params[0].unwrap_i32();
value *= 2;
results[0] = value.into();
Ok(())
});
let module = Module::new(
store.engine(),
r#"
(module
(import "" "" (func $double (param i32) (result i32)))
(func $start
i32.const 1
call $double
drop)
(start $start))
"#,
)?;
let instance = Instance::new(&mut store, &module, &[double.into()])?;
// .. work with `instance` if necessary
Implementations§
source§impl Func
impl Func
sourcepub fn new<T>(
store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>,
ty: FuncType,
func: impl Fn(Caller<'_, T>, &[Val], &mut [Val]) -> Result<()> + Send + Sync + 'static,
) -> Self
pub fn new<T>( store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>, ty: FuncType, func: impl Fn(Caller<'_, T>, &[Val], &mut [Val]) -> Result<()> + Send + Sync + 'static, ) -> Self
Creates a new Func
with the given arguments, typically to create a
host-defined function to pass as an import to a module.
-
store
- the store in which to create thisFunc
, which will own the return value. -
ty
- the signature of this function, used to indicate what the inputs and outputs are. -
func
- the native code invoked whenever thisFunc
will be called. This closure is provided aCaller
as its first argument to learn information about the caller, and then it’s passed a list of parameters as a slice along with a mutable slice of where to write results.
Note that the implementation of func
must adhere to the ty
signature
given, error or traps may occur if it does not respect the ty
signature. For example if the function type declares that it returns one
i32 but the func
closures does not write anything into the results
slice then a trap may be generated.
Additionally note that this is quite a dynamic function since signatures
are not statically known. For a more performant and ergonomic Func
it’s recommended to use Func::wrap
if you can because with
statically known signatures Wasmtime can optimize the implementation
much more.
For more information about Send + Sync + 'static
requirements on the
func
, see Func::wrap
.
§Errors
The host-provided function here returns a
Result<()>
. If the function returns Ok(())
then
that indicates that the host function completed successfully and wrote
the result into the &mut [Val]
argument.
If the function returns Err(e)
, however, then this is equivalent to
the host function triggering a trap for wasm. WebAssembly execution is
immediately halted and the original caller of Func::call
, for
example, will receive the error returned here (possibly with
WasmBacktrace
context information attached).
For more information about errors in Wasmtime see the Trap
documentation.
§Panics
Panics if the given function type is not associated with this store’s engine.
sourcepub unsafe fn new_unchecked<T>(
store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>,
ty: FuncType,
func: impl Fn(Caller<'_, T>, &mut [ValRaw]) -> Result<()> + Send + Sync + 'static,
) -> Self
pub unsafe fn new_unchecked<T>( store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>, ty: FuncType, func: impl Fn(Caller<'_, T>, &mut [ValRaw]) -> Result<()> + Send + Sync + 'static, ) -> Self
Creates a new Func
with the given arguments, although has fewer
runtime checks than Func::new
.
This function takes a callback of a different signature than
Func::new
, instead receiving a raw pointer with a list of ValRaw
structures. These values have no type information associated with them
so it’s up to the caller to provide a function that will correctly
interpret the list of values as those coming from the ty
specified.
If you’re calling this from Rust it’s recommended to either instead use
Func::new
or Func::wrap
. The Func::wrap
API, in particular,
is both safer and faster than this API.
§Errors
See Func::new
for the behavior of returning an error from the host
function provided here.
§Unsafety
This function is not safe because it’s not known at compile time that
the func
provided correctly interprets the argument types provided to
it, or that the results it produces will be of the correct type.
§Panics
Panics if the given function type is not associated with this store’s engine.
sourcepub fn new_async<T, F>(
store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>,
ty: FuncType,
func: F,
) -> Func
Available on crate features async
and cranelift
only.
pub fn new_async<T, F>( store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>, ty: FuncType, func: F, ) -> Func
async
and cranelift
only.Creates a new host-defined WebAssembly function which, when called,
will run the asynchronous computation defined by func
to completion
and then return the result to WebAssembly.
This function is the asynchronous analogue of Func::new
and much of
that documentation applies to this as well. The key difference is that
func
returns a future instead of simply a Result
. Note that the
returned future can close over any of the arguments, but it cannot close
over the state of the closure itself. It’s recommended to store any
necessary async state in the T
of the Store<T>
which
can be accessed through Caller::data
or Caller::data_mut
.
For more information on Send + Sync + 'static
, see
Func::wrap
.
§Panics
This function will panic if store
is not associated with an async
config.
Panics if the given function type is not associated with this store’s engine.
§Errors
See Func::new
for the behavior of returning an error from the host
function provided here.
§Examples
// Simulate some application-specific state as well as asynchronous
// functions to query that state.
struct MyDatabase {
// ...
}
impl MyDatabase {
async fn get_row_count(&self) -> u32 {
// ...
}
}
let my_database = MyDatabase {
// ...
};
// Using `new_async` we can hook up into calling our async
// `get_row_count` function.
let engine = Engine::new(Config::new().async_support(true))?;
let mut store = Store::new(&engine, MyDatabase {
// ...
});
let get_row_count_type = wasmtime::FuncType::new(
&engine,
None,
Some(wasmtime::ValType::I32),
);
let get = Func::new_async(&mut store, get_row_count_type, |caller, _params, results| {
Box::new(async move {
let count = caller.data().get_row_count().await;
results[0] = Val::I32(count as i32);
Ok(())
})
});
// ...
sourcepub fn wrap<T, Params, Results>(
store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>,
func: impl IntoFunc<T, Params, Results>,
) -> Func
pub fn wrap<T, Params, Results>( store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>, func: impl IntoFunc<T, Params, Results>, ) -> Func
Creates a new Func
from the given Rust closure.
This function will create a new Func
which, when called, will
execute the given Rust closure. Unlike Func::new
the target
function being called is known statically so the type signature can
be inferred. Rust types will map to WebAssembly types as follows:
Rust Argument Type | WebAssembly Type |
---|---|
i32 | i32 |
u32 | i32 |
i64 | i64 |
u64 | i64 |
f32 | f32 |
f64 | f64 |
V128 on x86-64 and aarch64 only | v128 |
Option<Func> | funcref aka (ref null func) |
Func | (ref func) |
Option<Nofunc> | nullfuncref aka (ref null nofunc) |
NoFunc | (ref nofunc) |
Option<ExternRef> | externref aka (ref null extern) |
ExternRef | (ref extern) |
Option<NoExtern> | nullexternref aka (ref null noextern) |
NoExtern | (ref noextern) |
Option<AnyRef> | anyref aka (ref null any) |
AnyRef | (ref any) |
Option<I31> | i31ref aka (ref null i31) |
I31 | (ref i31) |
Option<StructRef> | (ref null struct) |
StructRef | (ref struct) |
Option<ArrayRef> | (ref null array) |
ArrayRef | (ref array) |
Any of the Rust types can be returned from the closure as well, in addition to some extra types
Rust Return Type | WebAssembly Return Type | Meaning |
---|---|---|
() | nothing | no return value |
T | T | a single return value |
(T1, T2, ...) | T1 T2 ... | multiple returns |
Note that all return types can also be wrapped in Result<_>
to
indicate that the host function can generate a trap as well as possibly
returning a value.
Finally you can also optionally take Caller
as the first argument of
your closure. If inserted then you’re able to inspect the caller’s
state, for example the Memory
it has exported so you
can read what pointers point to.
Note that when using this API, the intention is to create as thin of a
layer as possible for when WebAssembly calls the function provided. With
sufficient inlining and optimization the WebAssembly will call straight
into func
provided, with no extra fluff entailed.
§Why Send + Sync + 'static
?
All host functions defined in a Store
(including
those from Func::new
and other constructors) require that the
func
provided is Send + Sync + 'static
. Additionally host functions
always are Fn
as opposed to FnMut
or FnOnce
. This can at-a-glance
feel restrictive since the closure cannot close over as many types as
before. The reason for this, though, is to ensure that
Store<T>
can implement both the Send
and Sync
traits.
Fear not, however, because this isn’t as restrictive as it seems! Host
functions are provided a Caller<'_, T>
argument which
allows access to the host-defined data within the
Store
. The T
type is not required to be any of
Send
, Sync
, or 'static
! This means that you can store whatever
you’d like in T
and have it accessible by all host functions.
Additionally mutable access to T
is allowed through
Caller::data_mut
.
Most host-defined Func
values provide closures that end up not
actually closing over any values. These zero-sized types will use the
context from Caller
for host-defined information.
§Errors
The closure provided here to wrap
can optionally return a
Result<T>
. Returning Ok(t)
represents the host
function successfully completing with the t
result. Returning
Err(e)
, however, is equivalent to raising a custom wasm trap.
Execution of WebAssembly does not resume and the stack is unwound to the
original caller of the function where the error is returned.
For more information about errors in Wasmtime see the Trap
documentation.
§Examples
First up we can see how simple wasm imports can be implemented, such as a function that adds its two arguments and returns the result.
let add = Func::wrap(&mut store, |a: i32, b: i32| a + b);
let module = Module::new(
store.engine(),
r#"
(module
(import "" "" (func $add (param i32 i32) (result i32)))
(func (export "foo") (param i32 i32) (result i32)
local.get 0
local.get 1
call $add))
"#,
)?;
let instance = Instance::new(&mut store, &module, &[add.into()])?;
let foo = instance.get_typed_func::<(i32, i32), i32>(&mut store, "foo")?;
assert_eq!(foo.call(&mut store, (1, 2))?, 3);
We can also do the same thing, but generate a trap if the addition overflows:
let add = Func::wrap(&mut store, |a: i32, b: i32| {
match a.checked_add(b) {
Some(i) => Ok(i),
None => anyhow::bail!("overflow"),
}
});
let module = Module::new(
store.engine(),
r#"
(module
(import "" "" (func $add (param i32 i32) (result i32)))
(func (export "foo") (param i32 i32) (result i32)
local.get 0
local.get 1
call $add))
"#,
)?;
let instance = Instance::new(&mut store, &module, &[add.into()])?;
let foo = instance.get_typed_func::<(i32, i32), i32>(&mut store, "foo")?;
assert_eq!(foo.call(&mut store, (1, 2))?, 3);
assert!(foo.call(&mut store, (i32::max_value(), 1)).is_err());
And don’t forget all the wasm types are supported!
let debug = Func::wrap(&mut store, |a: i32, b: u32, c: f32, d: i64, e: u64, f: f64| {
println!("a={}", a);
println!("b={}", b);
println!("c={}", c);
println!("d={}", d);
println!("e={}", e);
println!("f={}", f);
});
let module = Module::new(
store.engine(),
r#"
(module
(import "" "" (func $debug (param i32 i32 f32 i64 i64 f64)))
(func (export "foo")
i32.const -1
i32.const 1
f32.const 2
i64.const -3
i64.const 3
f64.const 4
call $debug))
"#,
)?;
let instance = Instance::new(&mut store, &module, &[debug.into()])?;
let foo = instance.get_typed_func::<(), ()>(&mut store, "foo")?;
foo.call(&mut store, ())?;
Finally if you want to get really fancy you can also implement imports that read/write wasm module’s memory
use std::str;
let log_str = Func::wrap(&mut store, |mut caller: Caller<'_, ()>, ptr: i32, len: i32| {
let mem = match caller.get_export("memory") {
Some(Extern::Memory(mem)) => mem,
_ => anyhow::bail!("failed to find host memory"),
};
let data = mem.data(&caller)
.get(ptr as u32 as usize..)
.and_then(|arr| arr.get(..len as u32 as usize));
let string = match data {
Some(data) => match str::from_utf8(data) {
Ok(s) => s,
Err(_) => anyhow::bail!("invalid utf-8"),
},
None => anyhow::bail!("pointer/length out of bounds"),
};
assert_eq!(string, "Hello, world!");
println!("{}", string);
Ok(())
});
let module = Module::new(
store.engine(),
r#"
(module
(import "" "" (func $log_str (param i32 i32)))
(func (export "foo")
i32.const 4 ;; ptr
i32.const 13 ;; len
call $log_str)
(memory (export "memory") 1)
(data (i32.const 4) "Hello, world!"))
"#,
)?;
let instance = Instance::new(&mut store, &module, &[log_str.into()])?;
let foo = instance.get_typed_func::<(), ()>(&mut store, "foo")?;
foo.call(&mut store, ())?;
sourcepub fn wrap_async<T, F, P, R>(
store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>,
func: F,
) -> Func
Available on crate feature async
only.
pub fn wrap_async<T, F, P, R>( store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>, func: F, ) -> Func
async
only.Same as Func::wrap
, except the closure asynchronously produces the
result and the arguments are passed within a tuple. For more information
see the Func
documentation.
§Panics
This function will panic if called with a non-asynchronous store.
sourcepub fn ty(&self, store: impl AsContext) -> FuncType
pub fn ty(&self, store: impl AsContext) -> FuncType
Returns the underlying wasm type that this Func
has.
§Panics
Panics if store
does not own this function.
sourcepub fn matches_ty(&self, store: impl AsContext, func_ty: &FuncType) -> bool
pub fn matches_ty(&self, store: impl AsContext, func_ty: &FuncType) -> bool
Does this function match the given type?
That is, is this function’s type a subtype of the given type?
§Panics
Panics if this function is not associated with the given store or if the function type is not associated with the store’s engine.
sourcepub fn call(
&self,
store: impl AsContextMut,
params: &[Val],
results: &mut [Val],
) -> Result<()>
pub fn call( &self, store: impl AsContextMut, params: &[Val], results: &mut [Val], ) -> Result<()>
Invokes this function with the params
given and writes returned values
to results
.
The params
here must match the type signature of this Func
, or an
error will occur. Additionally results
must have the same
length as the number of results for this function. Calling this function
will synchronously execute the WebAssembly function referenced to get
the results.
This function will return Ok(())
if execution completed without a trap
or error of any kind. In this situation the results will be written to
the provided results
array.
§Errors
Any error which occurs throughout the execution of the function will be
returned as Err(e)
. The Error
type can be inspected
for the precise error cause such as:
Trap
- indicates that a wasm trap happened and execution was halted.WasmBacktrace
- optionally included on errors for backtrace information of the trap/error.- Other string-based errors to indicate issues such as type errors with
params
. - Any host-originating error originally returned from a function defined
via
Func::new
, for example.
Errors typically indicate that execution of WebAssembly was halted mid-way and did not complete after the error condition happened.
§Panics
This function will panic if called on a function belonging to an async
store. Asynchronous stores must always use call_async
. Also panics if
store
does not own this function.
sourcepub unsafe fn call_unchecked(
&self,
store: impl AsContextMut,
params_and_returns: *mut ValRaw,
params_and_returns_capacity: usize,
) -> Result<()>
pub unsafe fn call_unchecked( &self, store: impl AsContextMut, params_and_returns: *mut ValRaw, params_and_returns_capacity: usize, ) -> Result<()>
Invokes this function in an “unchecked” fashion, reading parameters and
writing results to params_and_returns
.
This function is the same as Func::call
except that the arguments
and results both use a different representation. If possible it’s
recommended to use Func::call
if safety isn’t necessary or to use
Func::typed
in conjunction with TypedFunc::call
since that’s
both safer and faster than this method of invoking a function.
Note that if this function takes externref
arguments then it will
not automatically GC unlike the Func::call
and
TypedFunc::call
functions. This means that if this function is
invoked many times with new ExternRef
values and no other GC happens
via any other means then no values will get collected.
§Errors
For more information about errors see the Func::call
documentation.
§Unsafety
This function is unsafe because the params_and_returns
argument is not
validated at all. It must uphold invariants such as:
- It’s a valid pointer to an array
- It has enough space to store all parameters
- It has enough space to store all results (not at the same time as parameters)
- Parameters are initially written to the array and have the correct types and such.
- Reference types like
externref
andfuncref
are valid at the time of this call and for thestore
specified.
These invariants are all upheld for you with Func::call
and
TypedFunc::call
.
sourcepub unsafe fn from_raw(
store: impl AsContextMut,
raw: *mut c_void,
) -> Option<Func>
pub unsafe fn from_raw( store: impl AsContextMut, raw: *mut c_void, ) -> Option<Func>
Converts the raw representation of a funcref
into an Option<Func>
This is intended to be used in conjunction with Func::new_unchecked
,
Func::call_unchecked
, and ValRaw
with its funcref
field.
§Unsafety
This function is not safe because raw
is not validated at all. The
caller must guarantee that raw
is owned by the store
provided and is
valid within the store
.
sourcepub unsafe fn to_raw(&self, store: impl AsContextMut) -> *mut c_void
pub unsafe fn to_raw(&self, store: impl AsContextMut) -> *mut c_void
Extracts the raw value of this Func
, which is owned by store
.
This function returns a value that’s suitable for writing into the
funcref
field of the ValRaw
structure.
§Unsafety
The returned value is only valid for as long as the store is alive and this function is properly rooted within it. Additionally this function should not be liberally used since it’s a very low-level knob.
sourcepub async fn call_async<T>(
&self,
store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>,
params: &[Val],
results: &mut [Val],
) -> Result<()>where
T: Send,
Available on crate feature async
only.
pub async fn call_async<T>(
&self,
store: impl AsContextMut<Data = T>,
params: &[Val],
results: &mut [Val],
) -> Result<()>where
T: Send,
async
only.Invokes this function with the params
given, returning the results
asynchronously.
This function is the same as Func::call
except that it is
asynchronous. This is only compatible with stores associated with an
asynchronous config.
It’s important to note that the execution of WebAssembly will happen
synchronously in the poll
method of the future returned from this
function. Wasmtime does not manage its own thread pool or similar to
execute WebAssembly in. Future poll
methods are generally expected to
resolve quickly, so it’s recommended that you run or poll this future
in a “blocking context”.
For more information see the documentation on asynchronous configs.
§Errors
For more information on errors see the Func::call
documentation.
§Panics
Panics if this is called on a function in a synchronous store. This
only works with functions defined within an asynchronous store. Also
panics if store
does not own this function.
sourcepub fn typed<Params, Results>(
&self,
store: impl AsContext,
) -> Result<TypedFunc<Params, Results>>where
Params: WasmParams,
Results: WasmResults,
pub fn typed<Params, Results>(
&self,
store: impl AsContext,
) -> Result<TypedFunc<Params, Results>>where
Params: WasmParams,
Results: WasmResults,
Attempts to extract a typed object from this Func
through which the
function can be called.
This function serves as an alternative to Func::call
and
Func::call_async
. This method performs a static type check (using
the Params
and Results
type parameters on the underlying wasm
function. If the type check passes then a TypedFunc
object is returned,
otherwise an error is returned describing the typecheck failure.
The purpose of this relative to Func::call
is that it’s much more
efficient when used to invoke WebAssembly functions. With the types
statically known far less setup/teardown is required when invoking
WebAssembly. If speed is desired then this function is recommended to be
used instead of Func::call
(which is more general, hence its
slowdown).
The Params
type parameter is used to describe the parameters of the
WebAssembly function. This can either be a single type (like i32
), or
a tuple of types representing the list of parameters (like (i32, f32, f64)
). Additionally you can use ()
to represent that the function has
no parameters.
The Results
type parameter is used to describe the results of the
function. This behaves the same way as Params
, but just for the
results of the function.
§Translating Between WebAssembly and Rust Types
Translation between Rust types and WebAssembly types looks like:
WebAssembly | Rust |
---|---|
i32 | i32 or u32 |
i64 | i64 or u64 |
f32 | f32 |
f64 | f64 |
externref aka (ref null extern) | Option<ExternRef> |
(ref extern) | ExternRef |
(ref noextern) | NoExtern |
nullexternref aka (ref null noextern) | Option<NoExtern> |

(Note that this mapping is the same as that of Func::wrap
).
Note that once the TypedFunc
return value is acquired you’ll use either
TypedFunc::call
or TypedFunc::call_async
as necessary to actually invoke
the function. This method does not invoke any WebAssembly code, it
simply performs a typecheck before returning the TypedFunc
value.
This method also has a convenience wrapper as
Instance::get_typed_func
to
directly get a typed function value from an
Instance
.
§Subtyping
For result types, you can always use a supertype of the WebAssembly
function’s actual declared result type. For example, if the WebAssembly
function was declared with type (func (result nullfuncref))
you could
successfully call f.typed::<(), Option<Func>>()
because Option<Func>
corresponds to funcref
, which is a supertype of nullfuncref
.
For parameter types, you can always use a subtype of the WebAssembly
function’s actual declared parameter type. For example, if the
WebAssembly function was declared with type (func (param (ref null func)))
you could successfully call f.typed::<Func, ()>()
because
Func
corresponds to (ref func)
, which is a subtype of (ref null func)
.
Additionally, for functions which take a reference to a concrete type as
a parameter, you can also use the concrete type’s supertype. Consider a
WebAssembly function that takes a reference to a function with a
concrete type: (ref null <func type index>)
. In this scenario, there
is no static wasmtime::Foo
Rust type that corresponds to that
particular Wasm-defined concrete reference type because Wasm modules are
loaded dynamically at runtime. You could do f.typed::<Option<NoFunc>, ()>()
, and while that is correctly typed and valid, it is often overly
restrictive. The only value you could call the resulting typed function
with is the null function reference, but we’d like to call it with
non-null function references that happen to be of the correct
type. Therefore, f.typed<Option<Func>, ()>()
is also allowed in this
case, even though Option<Func>
represents (ref null func)
which is
the supertype, not subtype, of (ref null <func type index>)
. This does
imply some minimal dynamic type checks in this case, but it is supported
for better ergonomics, to enable passing non-null references into the
function.
§Errors
This function will return an error if Params
or Results
does not
match the native type of this WebAssembly function.
§Panics
This method will panic if store
does not own this function.
§Examples
An end-to-end example of calling a function which takes no parameters and has no results:
let engine = Engine::default();
let mut store = Store::new(&engine, ());
let module = Module::new(&engine, r#"(module (func (export "foo")))"#)?;
let instance = Instance::new(&mut store, &module, &[])?;
let foo = instance.get_func(&mut store, "foo").expect("export wasn't a function");
// Note that this call can fail due to the typecheck not passing, but
// in our case we statically know the module so we know this should
// pass.
let typed = foo.typed::<(), ()>(&store)?;
// Note that this can fail if the wasm traps at runtime.
typed.call(&mut store, ())?;
You can also pass in multiple parameters and get a result back
let typed = add.typed::<(i32, i64), f32>(&store)?;
assert_eq!(typed.call(&mut store, (1, 2))?, 3.0);
and similarly if a function has multiple results you can bind that too
let typed = add_with_overflow.typed::<(u32, u32), (u32, i32)>(&store)?;
let (result, overflow) = typed.call(&mut store, (u32::max_value(), 2))?;
assert_eq!(result, 1);
assert_eq!(overflow, 1);
