Using linear memory

You can also browse this source code online and clone the wasmtime repository to run the example locally.

This example shows off how to interact with wasm memory in a module. Be sure to read the documentation for Memory as well.

memory.wat

(module
  (memory (export "memory") 2 3)

  (func (export "size") (result i32) (memory.size))
  (func (export "load") (param i32) (result i32)
    (i32.load8_s (local.get 0))
  )
  (func (export "store") (param i32 i32)
    (i32.store8 (local.get 0) (local.get 1))
  )

  (data (i32.const 0x1000) "\01\02\03\04")
)

memory.c

/*
Example of instantiating of the WebAssembly module and invoking its exported
function.

You can compile and run this example on Linux with:

   cargo build --release -p wasmtime-c-api
   cc examples/memory.c \
       -I crates/c-api/include \
       target/release/libwasmtime.a \
       -lpthread -ldl -lm \
       -o memory
   ./memory

Note that on Windows and macOS the command will be similar, but you'll need
to tweak the `-lpthread` and such annotations.

You can also build using cmake:

mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build . --target wasmtime-memory

Also note that this example was taken from
https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasm-c-api/blob/master/example/memory.c
originally
