The API details are available in the header files. + +## Embed WAMR into developer's project + +WAMR is designed to be easy embeddable in any project, a typical way of building WAMR is to use cmake, developer can configure features by setting cmake variables and then include the script `runtime_lib.cmake` under folder [build-scripts](../build-scripts) in his CMakeList.txt, for example: +``` cmake +set (WAMR_BUILD_PLATFORM "linux") +set (WAMR_BUILD_TARGET "X86_64") +set (WAMR_BUILD_INTERP 1) +set (WAMR_BUILD_FAST_INTERP 1) +set (WAMR_BUILD_AOT 1) +set (WAMR_BUILD_LIBC_BUILTIN 1) +set (WAMR_BUILD_LIBC_WASI 1) +set (WAMR_BUILD_SIMD 1) +set (WAMR_ROOT_DIR path/to/wamr/root) + +include (${WAMR_ROOT_DIR}/build-scripts/runtime_lib.cmake) +add_library(vmlib ${WAMR_RUNTIME_LIB_SOURCE}) + +target_link_libraries (your_project vmlib) +``` +Examples can be found in [CMakeLists.txt of linux platform](../product-mini/platforms/linux/CMakeLists.txt) and [other platforms](../product-mini/platforms). The available features to configure can be found in [Build WAMR vmcore](./build_wamr.md#wamr-vmcore-cmake-building-configurations). + +Developer can also use Makefile to embed WAMR, by defining macros and including directories, and adding the source files, examples can be found in [makefile of alios-things platform](../product-mini/platforms/alios-things/aos.mk) and [makefile of nuttx platform](../product-mini/platforms/nuttx/wamr.mk). + +## The runtime initialization + +``` C + char *buffer, error_buf[128]; + wasm_module_t module; + wasm_module_inst_t module_inst; + wasm_function_inst_t func; + wasm_exec_env_t exec_env; + uint32 size, stack_size = 8092, heap_size = 8092; + + /* initialize the wasm runtime by default configurations */ + wasm_runtime_init(); + + /* read WASM file into a memory buffer */ + buffer = read_wasm_binary_to_buffer(…, &size); + + /* add line below if we want to export native functions to WASM app */ + wasm_runtime_register_natives(...); + + /* parse the WASM file from buffer and create a WASM module */ + module = wasm_runtime_load(buffer, size, error_buf, sizeof(error_buf)); + + /* create an instance of the WASM module (WASM linear memory is ready) */ + module_inst = wasm_runtime_instantiate(module, stack_size, heap_size, + error_buf, sizeof(error_buf)); +``` + +The `wasm_runtime_init()` uses the default memory allocator os_malloc/os_free function from the [`core/shared/platform`](../core/shared/platform) for the runtime memory management. + +WAMR supports to restrict its all memory allocations in a raw buffer. It ensures the dynamic memories used by the WASM applications won't harm the system availability, which is extremely important for embedded systems. This can be done by using `wasm_runtime_full_init()`.

For parameters that occupy 4 or fewer bytes, each parameter can be a single array element. For parameters in types like double or int64, each parameter will take two array elements. The function return value will be sent back in the first one or two elements of the array according to the value type. See the sample code below: + +```c + uint32 argv[6]; + char arg1 = 'a'; + int arg2 = 10; + double arg3 = 1.0; + int64 arg4 = 100; + double ret; + + argv[0] = arg1; + argv[1] = arg2; + + /** + * use memory copy for 8-byte parameters rather than + * *(double*)(&argv[2]) = arg3 here because some archs + * like ARM, MIPS require the address must be 8-byte aligned. + * Or use the aligned malloc or compiler align attribute + * to ensure the array address is 8-byte aligned + */ + memcpy(&argv[2], &arg3, sizeof(arg3)); + memcpy(&argv[4], &arg4, sizeof(arg4)); + + /* attention: the arg number is 6 here since both + arg3 and arg4 each takes 2 elements */ + wasm_runtime_call_wasm(exec_env, func, 6, argv); + + /* if the return value is type of 8 bytes, it takes + the first two array elements */ + memcpy(&ret, &argv[0], sizeof(ret)); +``` + +2. Function call with results and arguments both in `wasm_val_t` struct and size: + +```c + uint32 num_args = 1, num_results = 1; + wasm_val_t args[1], results[1]; + + /* set the argument type and value */ + args[0].kind = WASM_I32; + args[0].of.i32 = 8; + + /* call the WASM function */ + if (wasm_runtime_call_wasm_a(exec_env, func, num_results, results, num_args, args)) { + /* the return value is stored in results */ + printf("fib function return: %d\n", results[0].of.i32); + } + else { + /* exception is thrown if call fails */ + printf("%s\n", wasm_runtime_get_exception(module_inst)); + } +``` + +3. Function call with variant argument support: + +```c + uint32 num_args = 1, num_results = 1; + wasm_val_t results[1]; + + /* call the WASM function */ + if (wasm_runtime_call_wasm_v(exec_env, func, 1, results, 1, 8)) { + /* the return value is stored in results */ + printf("fib function return: %d\n", results[0].of.i32); + } + else { + /* exception is thrown if call fails */ + printf("%s\n", wasm_runtime_get_exception(module_inst)); + } +``` + +## Pass buffer to WASM function + +If we need to transfer a buffer to WASM function, we can pass the buffer address through a parameter. **Attention**: The sandbox will forbid the WASM code to access outside memory, we must **allocate the buffer from WASM instance's own memory space and pass the buffer address in instance's space (not the runtime native address)**. + +There are two runtime APIs available for this purpose. + +```c +/** + * malloc a buffer from instance's private memory space. + * + * return: the buffer address in instance's memory space (pass to the WASM funciton) + * p_native_addr: return the native address of allocated memory + * size: the buffer size to allocate + */ +uint32_t +wasm_runtime_module_malloc(wasm_module_inst_t module_inst, + uint32_t size, void **p_native_addr); + +/** + * malloc a buffer from instance's private memory space, + * and copy the data from another native buffer to it. + * + * return: the buffer address in instance's memory space (pass to the WASM funciton) + * src: the native buffer address + * size: the size of buffer to be allocated and copy data + */ +uint32_t +wasm_runtime_module_dup_data(wasm_module_inst_t module_inst, + const char *src, uint32_t size); + +/* free the memory allocated from module memory space */ +void +wasm_runtime_module_free(wasm_module_inst_t module_inst, uint32_t ptr); +``` + +Usage sample: + +```c +char * buffer = NULL; +uint32_t buffer_for_wasm; + +buffer_for_wasm = wasm_runtime_module_malloc(module_inst, 100, &buffer); +if (buffer_for_wasm != 0) { + uint32 argv[2]; + strncpy(buffer, "hello", 100); /* use native address for accessing in runtime */ + argv[0] = buffer_for_wasm; /* pass the buffer address for WASM space */ + argv[1] = 100; /* the size of buffer */ + wasm_runtime_call_wasm(exec_env, func, 2, argv); + + /* it is runtime embedder's responsibility to release the memory, + unless the WASM app will free the passed pointer in its code */ + wasm_runtime_module_free(module_inst, buffer_for_wasm); +} +``` + +## Pass structured data to WASM function + +We can't pass structure data or class objects through the pointer since the memory layout can different in two worlds.
