Yoshua Wuyts (Sep 04 2024 at 16:44): Yoshua Wuyts (Sep 04 2024 at 16:44):Heya, I just recompiled my sample project using the new beta wasm32-wasip2 Rust target. I was expecting the size of it to drop compared to the wasm32-wasip1 target with the shim, but somewhat counter-intuitively it hasn't?
Yoshua Wuyts (Sep 04 2024 at 16:45):I'm not sure what my question here is, heh. I guess I was expecting the final size to shrink because we're no longer compiling interfaces twice + translating between them - but it seems like that might not be the case?
Yoshua Wuyts (Sep 04 2024 at 16:47):(not that I think code size is a particularly important metric - but figured I'd still mention it?)
Joel Dice (Sep 04 2024 at 16:59):wasm32-wasip2 still generally relies on the shim (wasm-component-ld has built-in copies of each shim variant), and will continue to until wasi-libc is fully ported to use WASIp2 natively. Currently it only uses WASIp2 for socket support, and WASIp1 for everything else, hence the need for the shim.
Yoshua Wuyts (Sep 04 2024 at 16:59):ohhh, I see!
Yoshua Wuyts (Sep 04 2024 at 16:59):okay that makes sense to me
Yoshua Wuyts (Sep 04 2024 at 17:00):ty!

Jeff Parsons (Sep 04 2024 at 22:17):Not sure about the etiquette around posting on "resolved" "topics", but...
Wasip2 networking support is pretty close to landing, so I assume this will change soon: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129638
