Topic: Why does an empty Rust module requires fd_write?

Hi, I'm testing wasmtime with modules compiled with Rust for wasm32-wasi target. One thing that is confusing is that an empty module (just an empty main() {}) function seems to require wasi_snapshot_preview1::fd_write. Is there any way to check what does it need it for? I'd be guessing stdin, but just wanted to confirm somehow

That is probably a potential panic in the libstd initialization code. Libstd does various kinds of initialization which could fail if the environment misbehaves. In that case it will panic, which prints a message to stderr.
