pub struct InstanceHandle { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A handle holding an Instance of a WebAssembly module.

This is more or less a public facade of the private Instance, providing useful higher-level API.

Implementations§

Create a new InstanceHandle pointing at a new [InstanceRef].

Safety

This method is not necessarily inherently unsafe to call, but in general the APIs of an Instance are quite unsafe and have not been really audited for safety that much. As a result the unsafety here on this method is a low-overhead way of saying “this is an extremely unsafe type to work with”.

Extreme care must be taken when working with InstanceHandle and it’s recommended to have relatively intimate knowledge of how it works internally if you’d like to do so. If possible it’s recommended to use the wasmer crate API rather than this type since that is vetted for safety.

However the following must be taken care of before calling this function:

  • The memory at instance.tables_ptr() must be initialized with data for all the local tables.
  • The memory at instance.memories_ptr() must be initialized with data for all the local memories.

Finishes the instantiation process started by Instance::new.

Safety

Only safe to call immediately after instantiation.

Return a reference to the vmctx used by compiled wasm code.

Return a raw pointer to the vmctx used by compiled wasm code.

Return a reference to the VMOffsets to get offsets in the Self::vmctx_ptr region. Be careful when doing pointer arithmetic!

Return a reference-counting pointer to a module.

Return a reference to a module.

Lookup an export with the given name.

Lookup an export with the given export declaration.

Return an iterator over the exports of this instance.

Specifically, it provides access to the key-value pairs, where the keys are export names, and the values are export declarations which can be resolved lookup_by_declaration.

Return the memory index for the given VMMemoryDefinition in this instance.

Grow memory in this instance by the specified amount of pages.

Returns None if memory can’t be grown by the specified amount of pages.

Return the table index for the given VMTableDefinition in this instance.

Grow table in this instance by the specified amount of pages.

Returns None if memory can’t be grown by the specified amount of pages.

Get table element reference.

Returns None if index is out of bounds.

Set table element reference.

Returns an error if the index is out of bounds

Get a table defined locally within this module.

InstanceHandle are created with an InstanceAllocator and it will “consume” the memory So the Drop here actualy free it (else it would be leaked)

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.
This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
