Topic: link host function to module via "env"

hello! @zach and I are working on a host environment and have run into an issue now that we're attempting to execute wasm code compiled from other languages.

when executing a Rust module:

Caused by:
    Link error: env/list_sites: unknown import function: function not provided', src/bin/host-wasm.rs:7:16

We also observe similar behavior when executing wasm code compiled from C. It seems like we can't define the host functions (in Rust) on the "env" name. We are using the Module::new_with_name fn, but possibly incorrectly? ex:

let module = Module::new_with_name(&store, wasm.as_ref(), "env")?;

Any tips would be much appreciated!

The imports for the instance needs to be resolved as documented in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/blob/master/docs/embed-rust.md#importing-host-functionality , means exports names needs to be resolved. A week ago the Linker helper was add, check https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/blob/master/crates/api/src/linker.rs#L218
