Topic: any way to get the `Store` from a vmctx?


view this post on Zulip fitzgen (he/him) (Jun 12 2020 at 17:45):

implementing Func::wrap support for reference types right now, and WasmTy::{load,store} need to take a &Store argument to pass in/receive ExternRefs to/from Wasm, which means that the trampoline in impl_into_func! needs to get a Store from ... somewhere? presumably from either the callee_vmctx or caller_vmctx?

hm... so the only guaranteed non-null value is caller_vmctx (the first one)

ah, host_state()?

nah that probably doesn't have a Store

er or it might

just above trampoline, in shim:

debug_assert!(state.is::<(F, Weak<StoreInner>)>());

ah yeah no nvmd looks like it's there

thanks

so yeah that looks to be it

but I'd avoid upgrading the Weak unelss an ExternRef is actually used

view this post on Zulip Alex Crichton (Jun 12 2020 at 17:48):

either way is fine though

good call

ah hm, that's actually a little funky -- are you thinking that WasmTy::{load,store} should instead take a &dyn Fn() -> &Store or a &Weak<StoreInner>? because we don't know at the call site what the T: WasmTy is and whether it will use the store or not

ExternRef stores a weak anyway, right?

view this post on Zulip Alex Crichton (Jun 12 2020 at 17:52):

it's an internal trait FWIW (the mehtods at least) so it's fine to do whatever works best

ah yeah, so I guess it is only WasmTy::load that really needs it
