Struct wasmtime::Store

source ·
pub struct Store<T> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A Store is a collection of WebAssembly instances and host-defined state.

All WebAssembly instances and items will be attached to and refer to a Store. For example instances, functions, globals, and tables are all attached to a Store. Instances are created by instantiating a Module within a Store.

A Store is intended to be a short-lived object in a program. No form of GC is implemented at this time so once an instance is created within a Store it will not be deallocated until the Store itself is dropped. This makes Store unsuitable for creating an unbounded number of instances in it because Store will never release this memory. It’s recommended to have a Store correspond roughly to the lifetime of a “main instance” that an embedding is interested in executing.

§Type parameter T

Each Store has a type parameter T associated with it. This T represents state defined by the host. This state will be accessible through the Caller type that host-defined functions get access to. This T is suitable for storing Store-specific information which imported functions may want access to.

The data T can be accessed through methods like Store::data and Store::data_mut.

§Stores, contexts, oh my

Most methods in Wasmtime take something of the form AsContext or AsContextMut as the first argument. These two traits allow ergonomically passing in the context you currently have to any method. The primary two sources of contexts are:

  • Store<T>
  • Caller<'_, T>

corresponding to what you create and what you have access to in a host function. You can also explicitly acquire a StoreContext or StoreContextMut and pass that around as well.

Note that all methods on Store are mirrored onto StoreContext, StoreContextMut, and Caller. This way no matter what form of context you have you can call various methods, create objects, etc.

§Stores and Default

You can create a store with default configuration settings using Store::default(). This will create a brand new Engine with default configuration (see Config for more information).

§Cross-store usage of items

In wasmtime wasm items such as Global and Memory “belong” to a Store. The store they belong to is the one they were created with (passed in as a parameter) or instantiated with. This store is the only store that can be used to interact with wasm items after they’re created.

The wasmtime crate will panic if the Store argument passed in to these operations is incorrect. In other words it’s considered a programmer error rather than a recoverable error for the wrong Store to be used when calling APIs.

Implementations§

source§

impl<T> Store<T>

source

pub fn new(engine: &Engine, data: T) -> Self

Creates a new Store to be associated with the given Engine and data provided.

The created Store will place no additional limits on the size of linear memories or tables at runtime. Linear memories and tables will be allowed to grow to any upper limit specified in their definitions. The store will limit the number of instances, linear memories, and tables created to 10,000. This can be overridden with the Store::limiter configuration method.

source

pub fn data(&self) -> &T

Access the underlying data owned by this Store.

source

pub fn data_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T

Access the underlying data owned by this Store.

source

pub fn into_data(self) -> T

Consumes this Store, destroying it, and returns the underlying data.

source

pub fn limiter( &mut self, limiter: impl FnMut(&mut T) -> &mut dyn ResourceLimiter + Send + Sync + 'static, )

Configures the ResourceLimiter used to limit resource creation within this Store.

Whenever resources such as linear memory, tables, or instances are allocated the limiter specified here is invoked with the store’s data T and the returned ResourceLimiter is used to limit the operation being allocated. The returned ResourceLimiter is intended to live within the T itself, for example by storing a StoreLimits.

Note that this limiter is only used to limit the creation/growth of resources in the future, this does not retroactively attempt to apply limits to the Store.

§Examples
use wasmtime::*;

struct MyApplicationState {
    my_state: u32,
    limits: StoreLimits,
}

let engine = Engine::default();
let my_state = MyApplicationState {
    my_state: 42,
    limits: StoreLimitsBuilder::new()
        .memory_size(1 << 20 /* 1 MB */)
        .instances(2)
        .build(),
};
let mut store = Store::new(&engine, my_state);
store.limiter(|state| &mut state.limits);

// Creation of smaller memories is allowed
Memory::new(&mut store, MemoryType::new(1, None)).unwrap();

// Creation of a larger memory, however, will exceed the 1MB limit we've
// configured
assert!(Memory::new(&mut store, MemoryType::new(1000, None)).is_err());

// The number of instances in this store is limited to 2, so the third
// instance here should fail.
let module = Module::new(&engine, "(module)").unwrap();
assert!(Instance::new(&mut store, &module, &[]).is_ok());
assert!(Instance::new(&mut store, &module, &[]).is_ok());
assert!(Instance::new(&mut store, &module, &[]).is_err());
source

pub fn limiter_async( &mut self, limiter: impl FnMut(&mut T) -> &mut dyn ResourceLimiterAsync + Send + Sync + 'static, )

Configures the ResourceLimiterAsync used to limit resource creation within this Store.

This method is an asynchronous variant of the Store::limiter method where the embedder can block the wasm request for more resources with host async execution of futures.

By using a ResourceLimiterAsync with a Store, you can no longer use Memory::new, Memory::grow, Table::new, and Table::grow. Instead, you must use their async variants: Memory::new_async, Memory::grow_async, Table::new_async, and Table::grow_async.

Note that this limiter is only used to limit the creation/growth of resources in the future, this does not retroactively attempt to apply limits to the Store. Additionally this must be used with an async Store configured via Config::async_support.

source

pub fn engine(&self) -> &Engine

Returns the Engine that this store is associated with.

source

pub fn gc(&mut self)

Perform garbage collection.

Note that it is not required to actively call this function. GC will automatically happen according to various internal heuristics. This is provided if fine-grained control over the GC is desired.

This method is only available when the gc Cargo feature is enabled.

source

pub async fn gc_async(&mut self)
where T: Send,

Perform garbage collection asynchronously.

Note that it is not required to actively call this function. GC will automatically happen according to various internal heuristics. This is provided if fine-grained control over the GC is desired.

This method is only available when the gc Cargo feature is enabled.

source

pub fn get_fuel(&self) -> Result<u64>

Returns the amount fuel in this Store. When fuel is enabled, it must be configured via Store::set_fuel.

§Errors

This function will return an error if fuel consumption is not enabled via Config::consume_fuel.

source

pub fn set_fuel(&mut self, fuel: u64) -> Result<()>

Set the fuel to this Store for wasm to consume while executing.

For this method to work fuel consumption must be enabled via Config::consume_fuel. By default a Store starts with 0 fuel for wasm to execute with (meaning it will immediately trap). This function must be called for the store to have some fuel to allow WebAssembly to execute.

Most WebAssembly instructions consume 1 unit of fuel. Some instructions, such as nop, drop, block, and loop, consume 0 units, as any execution cost associated with them involves other instructions which do consume fuel.

Note that when fuel is entirely consumed it will cause wasm to trap.

§Errors

This function will return an error if fuel consumption is not enabled via Config::consume_fuel.

source

pub fn fuel_async_yield_interval(&mut self, interval: Option<u64>) -> Result<()>

Configures a Store to yield execution of async WebAssembly code periodically.

When a Store is configured to consume fuel with Config::consume_fuel this method will configure WebAssembly to be suspended and control will be yielded back to the caller every interval units of fuel consumed. This is only suitable with use of a store associated with an async config because only then are futures used and yields are possible.

The purpose of this behavior is to ensure that futures which represent execution of WebAssembly do not execute too long inside their Future::poll method. This allows for some form of cooperative multitasking where WebAssembly will voluntarily yield control periodically (based on fuel consumption) back to the running thread.

Note that futures returned by this crate will automatically flag themselves to get re-polled if a yield happens. This means that WebAssembly will continue to execute, just after giving the host an opportunity to do something else.

The interval parameter indicates how much fuel should be consumed between yields of an async future. When fuel runs out wasm will trap.

§Error

This method will error if it is not called on a store associated with an async config.

source

pub fn set_epoch_deadline(&mut self, ticks_beyond_current: u64)

Sets the epoch deadline to a certain number of ticks in the future.

When the Wasm guest code is compiled with epoch-interruption instrumentation (Config::epoch_interruption()), and when the Engine’s epoch is incremented (Engine::increment_epoch()) past a deadline, execution can be configured to either trap or yield and then continue.

This deadline is always set relative to the current epoch: ticks_beyond_current ticks in the future. The deadline can be set explicitly via this method, or refilled automatically on a yield if configured via epoch_deadline_async_yield_and_update(). After this method is invoked, the deadline is reached when Engine::increment_epoch() has been invoked at least ticks_beyond_current times.

By default a store will trap immediately with an epoch deadline of 0 (which has always “elapsed”). This method is required to be configured for stores with epochs enabled to some future epoch deadline.

See documentation on Config::epoch_interruption() for an introduction to epoch-based interruption.

source

pub fn epoch_deadline_trap(&mut self)

Configures epoch-deadline expiration to trap.

When epoch-interruption-instrumented code is executed on this store and the epoch deadline is reached before completion, with the store configured in this way, execution will terminate with a trap as soon as an epoch check in the instrumented code is reached.

This behavior is the default if the store is not otherwise configured via epoch_deadline_trap(), epoch_deadline_callback() or epoch_deadline_async_yield_and_update().

This setting is intended to allow for coarse-grained interruption, but not a deterministic deadline of a fixed, finite interval. For deterministic interruption, see the “fuel” mechanism instead.

Note that when this is used it’s required to call Store::set_epoch_deadline or otherwise wasm will always immediately trap.

See documentation on Config::epoch_interruption() for an introduction to epoch-based interruption.

source

pub fn epoch_deadline_callback( &mut self, callback: impl FnMut(StoreContextMut<'_, T>) -> Result<UpdateDeadline> + Send + Sync + 'static, )

Configures epoch-deadline expiration to invoke a custom callback function.

When epoch-interruption-instrumented code is executed on this store and the epoch deadline is reached before completion, the provided callback function is invoked.

This callback should either return an UpdateDeadline, or return an error, which will terminate execution with a trap.

The UpdateDeadline is a positive number of ticks to add to the epoch deadline, as well as indicating what to do after the callback returns. If the Store is configured with async support, then the callback may return UpdateDeadline::Yield to yield to the async executor before updating the epoch deadline. Alternatively, the callback may return UpdateDeadline::Continue to update the epoch deadline immediately.

This setting is intended to allow for coarse-grained interruption, but not a deterministic deadline of a fixed, finite interval. For deterministic interruption, see the “fuel” mechanism instead.

See documentation on Config::epoch_interruption() for an introduction to epoch-based interruption.

source

pub fn epoch_deadline_async_yield_and_update(&mut self, delta: u64)

Configures epoch-deadline expiration to yield to the async caller and the update the deadline.

When epoch-interruption-instrumented code is executed on this store and the epoch deadline is reached before completion, with the store configured in this way, execution will yield (the future will return Pending but re-awake itself for later execution) and, upon resuming, the store will be configured with an epoch deadline equal to the current epoch plus delta ticks.

This setting is intended to allow for cooperative timeslicing of multiple CPU-bound Wasm guests in different stores, all executing under the control of an async executor. To drive this, stores should be configured to “yield and update” automatically with this function, and some external driver (a thread that wakes up periodically, or a timer signal/interrupt) should call Engine::increment_epoch().

See documentation on Config::epoch_interruption() for an introduction to epoch-based interruption.
