Andrew Brown (Apr 28 2021 at 15:48): Andrew Brown (Apr 28 2021 at 15:48):@Till Schneidereit, @Alex Crichton: I started adding an --experimental-wasi-modules=... flag and now am wondering it if should be more general. I could write this so that the user can pick any set of WASI modules they want to have available, e.g., --wasi-modules=wasi-fs,wasi-clock. In that case, the default would be to include the WASI common modules (not wasi-nn, wasi-crypto) if the user doesn't specify which modules to use
Andrew Brown (Apr 28 2021 at 15:49):But if the intent of the flag was to just highlight the experimental nature of certain WASI modules, then I can keep the original name, --experimental-wasi-modules, and only allow setting wasi-nn and wasi-crypto.
Andrew Brown (Apr 28 2021 at 15:50):Thoughts?
Till Schneidereit (Apr 28 2021 at 15:53):oh, that's actually a very good point! I like the idea of using this not just for experimental modules, but more generally. @Dan Gohman, I'm curious to hear what you think about this?
Dan Gohman (Apr 28 2021 at 15:54):I also like the idea of having an easy way on the command line to specify which WASI modules to make available.
Andrew Brown (Apr 28 2021 at 15:54):So maybe I'll do something in the CLI help to indicate which WASI modules are more experimental?
Dan Gohman (Apr 28 2021 at 15:55):Maybe instead of --experimental-wasi-modules, it's just called --wasi-modules=all (default, not experimental things) and --wasi-modules=all-experimental (the whole airship)
Till Schneidereit (Apr 28 2021 at 16:02):yeah, I like that. Perhaps s/all/stable/ or all-stable? But now we're solidly in bikeshedding territory, which seems good :wink:
Dan Gohman (Apr 28 2021 at 16:20):Yeah, or maybe s/all/default/? Happy to subject this to bikeshedding :-)
Andrew Brown (Apr 28 2021 at 17:17):Take a look at https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/2859/commits/bf43539bac237aafbd26c67faa9b7da19d14ebe1; I tried to match what is done in --wasm-features and that uses all so I went with --wasi-modules=all and --wasi-modules=all-experimental. I'm fine to change it to stable or default or whatever just let me know...
Andrew Brown (Apr 28 2021 at 17:17):I can also pull that commit out into a separate PR if we would like to review that separately from the wasi-nn "turning on" PR
Till Schneidereit (Apr 28 2021 at 18:11):ah, I hadn't been aware of this precedent. I agree that it makes sense to follow that convention, then
Andrew Brown (Apr 28 2021 at 22:43):I think https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/2859 is ready to review in a few of you could take a look!
