Stream: wasi

Topic: valid file descriptors

Mohamed Abdelfatah (Jul 22 2022 at 16:03):

Is it allowed to pass file descriptors 0, 1 and 2 to fd_prestat_get ?

I tried it in wasmtime and it returns Bad file descriptor
while wasmer returns Ok() with a Prestat struct for the corresponding fd (i.e. stdin for fd = 0 , stdout for fd =1 , stderr for fd = 2).

which behavior is correct ?

for context: I am comparing different wasi implementations between engines, initially I am working on wasmer and wasmtime. I am also using this crate to use the wasi api

afaik "preopened" is only meaningful for directories currently

Which is slightly confusing since other fds provided by the host are in some sense pre-opened...
