DESCRIPTION

WARNING: WebAssembly and Wasmtime are a moving target and the interface for these modules is under active development. Use with caution.

This class represents a WebAssembly linker.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

my $linker = Wasm::Wasmtime::Linker->new(
$store, # Wasm::Wasmtime::Store
);

Create a new WebAssembly linker object.

METHODS

allow_shadowing

$linker->allow_shadowing($bool);

Sets the allow shadowing property.

define

$linker->define(
$module,
$name,
$extern, # Wasm::Wasmtime::Extern
);

Define the given extern. You can use a func, global, table or memory object in its place and this method will get the extern for you.

define_wasi

$linker->define_wasi(
$wasi, # Wasm::Wasmtime::WasiInstance
);

Define WASI instance.

define_instance

$linker->define_instance(
$name, # string
$instance, # Wasm::Wasmtime::Instance
);

Define WebAssembly instance.

instantiate

my $instance = $linker->instantiate(
$module,
);

Instantiate the module using the linker. Returns the new Wasm::Wasmtime::Instance object.

get_one_by_name

my $extern = $linker->get_one_by_name($module,$name);

Returns the Wasm::Wasmtime::Extern for the given $module and $name. undef is returned if there is no such extern with that $name.

get_default

my $func = $linker->get_default($name);

Acquires the "default export" of the named module in this linker. Returns a Wasm::Wasmtime::Func.

store

my $store = $linker->store;

Returns the Wasm::Wasmtime::Store for the linker.
