Move the native stack overflow check from the caller to the callee because the former doesn't work for call_indirect and imported functions. Make the stack usage estimation more accurate. Instead of making a guess from the number of wasm locals in the function, use the LLVM's idea of the stack size of each MachineFunction. The former is inaccurate because a) it doesn't reflect optimization passes, and b) wasm locals are not the only reason to use stack. To use the post-compilation stack usage information without requiring 2-pass compilation or machine-code imm rewriting, introduce a global array to store stack consumption of each functions: For JIT, use a custom IRCompiler with an extra pass to fill the array. For AOT, use `clang -fstack-usage` equivalent because we support external llc. Re-implement function call stack usage estimation to reflect the real calling conventions better. (aot_estimate_stack_usage_for_function_call) Re-implement stack estimation logic (--enable-memory-profiling) based on the new machinery. Discussions: #2105.
WebAssembly Micro Runtime
A Bytecode Alliance project
Build WAMR | Build AOT Compiler | Embed WAMR | Export Native API | Build Wasm Apps | Samples
WebAssembly Micro Runtime (WAMR) is a lightweight standalone WebAssembly (Wasm) runtime with small footprint, high performance and highly configurable features for applications cross from embedded, IoT, edge to Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), smart contract, cloud native and so on. It includes a few parts as below:
- VMcore: A set of runtime libraries for loading and running Wasm modules. It supports several execution modes including interpreter, Ahead-of-Time compilation(AoT) and Just-in-Time compilation (JIT). The WAMR supports two JIT tiers - Fast JIT, LLVM JIT, and dynamic tier-up from Fast JIT to LLVM JIT.
- iwasm: The executable binary built with WAMR VMcore supports WASI and command line interface.
- wamrc: The AOT compiler to compile Wasm file into AOT file
- Useful components and tools for building real solutions with WAMR vmcore:
- App-framework: A framework for supporting APIs for the Wasm applications
- App-manager: a framework for dynamical loading the Wasm module remotely
- WAMR-IDE: An experimental VSCode extension for developping WebAssembly applications with C/C++
Key features
- Full compliant to the W3C Wasm MVP
- Small runtime binary size (~85K for interpreter and ~50K for AOT) and low memory usage
- Near to native speed by AOT and JIT
- Self-implemented AOT module loader to enable AOT working on Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android, SGX and MCU systems
- Choices of Wasm application libc support: the built-in libc subset for the embedded environment or WASI for the standard libc
- The simple C APIs to embed WAMR into host environment, see how to integrate WAMR and the API list
