//! The `wasm32-wasi` target is a new and still (as of April 2019) an //! experimental target. The definition in this file is likely to be tweaked //! over time and shouldn't be relied on too much. //! //! The `wasi` target is a proposal to define a standardized set of syscalls //! that WebAssembly files can interoperate with. This set of syscalls is //! intended to empower WebAssembly binaries with native capabilities such as //! filesystem access, network access, etc. //! //! You can see more about the proposal at . //! //! The Rust target definition here is interesting in a few ways. We want to //! serve two use cases here with this target: //! //! * First, we want Rust usage of the target to be as hassle-free as possible, //! ideally avoiding the need to configure and install a local wasm32-wasi //! toolchain. //! //! * Second, one of the primary use cases of LLVM's new wasm backend and the //! wasm support in LLD is that any compiled language can interoperate with //! any other. To that the `wasm32-wasi` target is the first with a viable C //! standard library and sysroot common definition, so we want Rust and C/C++ //! code to interoperate when compiled to `wasm32-unknown-unknown`. //! //! You'll note, however, that the two goals above are somewhat at odds with one //! another. To attempt to solve both use cases in one go we define a target //! that (ab)uses the `crt-static` target feature to indicate which one you're //! in. //! //! ## No interop with C required //! //! By default the `crt-static` target feature is enabled, and when enabled //! this means that the bundled version of `libc.a` found in `liblibc.rlib` //! is used. This isn't intended really for interoperation with a C because it //! may be the case that Rust's bundled C library is incompatible with a //! foreign-compiled C library. In this use case, though, we use `rust-lld` and //! some copied crt startup object files to ensure that you can download the //! wasi target for Rust and you're off to the races, no further configuration //! necessary. //! //! All in all, by default, no external dependencies are required. You can //! compile `wasm32-wasi` binaries straight out of the box. You can't, however, //! reliably interoperate with C code in this mode (yet). //! //! ## Interop with C required //! //! For the second goal we repurpose the `target-feature` flag, meaning that //! you'll need to do a few things to have C/Rust code interoperate. //! //! 1. All Rust code needs to be compiled with `-C target-feature=-crt-static`, //! indicating that the bundled C standard library in the Rust sysroot will //! not be used. //! //! 2. If you're using rustc to build a linked artifact then you'll need to //! specify `-C linker` to a `clang` binary that supports //! `wasm32-wasi` and is configured with the `wasm32-wasi` sysroot. This //! will cause Rust code to be linked against the libc.a that the specified //! `clang` provides. //! //! 3. If you're building a staticlib and integrating Rust code elsewhere, then //! compiling with `-C target-feature=-crt-static` is all you need to do. //! //! You can configure the linker via Cargo using the //! `CARGO_TARGET_WASM32_WASI_LINKER` env var. Be sure to also set //! `CC_wasm32-wasi` if any crates in the dependency graph are using the `cc` //! crate. //! //! ## Remember, this is all in flux //! //! The wasi target is **very** new in its specification. It's likely going to //! be a long effort to get it standardized and stable. We'll be following it as //! best we can with this target. Don't start relying on too much here unless //! you know what you're getting in to! use super::wasm_base; use super::{crt_objects, LinkerFlavor, LldFlavor, Target}; pub fn target() -> Target { let mut options = wasm_base::options(); options.os = "wasi".into(); options.linker_flavor = LinkerFlavor::Lld(LldFlavor::Wasm); options.add_pre_link_args(LinkerFlavor::Gcc, &["--target=wasm32-wasi"]); options.pre_link_objects_fallback = crt_objects::pre_wasi_fallback(); options.post_link_objects_fallback = crt_objects::post_wasi_fallback(); // Right now this is a bit of a workaround but we're currently saying that // the target by default has a static crt which we're taking as a signal // for "use the bundled crt". If that's turned off then the system's crt // will be used, but this means that default usage of this target doesn't // need an external compiler but it's still interoperable with an external // compiler if configured correctly. options.crt_static_default = true; options.crt_static_respected = true; // Allow `+crt-static` to create a "cdylib" output which is just a wasm file // without a main function. options.crt_static_allows_dylibs = true; // WASI's `sys::args::init` function ignores its arguments; instead, // `args::args()` makes the WASI API calls itself. options.main_needs_argc_argv = false; Target { llvm_target: "wasm32-wasi".into(), pointer_width: 32, data_layout: "e-m:e-p:32:32-p10:8:8-p20:8:8-i64:64-n32:64-S128-ni:1:10:20".into(), arch: "wasm32".into(), options, } }
