tolumide-ng edited PR #12805:

The c-api crate currently enables the gc feature on its wasmtime dependency, even though it exposes a gc feature to control this behaviour. This prevents downstream users from disabling gc, since Cargo.toml doesn't allow overriding it.

Changes

  1. Removes the explicitly set gc feature for the wasmtime dependency in c-api, thus enabling downstream users to specify this behaviour.
  2. Adds ci job for building the c-api crate without default features, and with the gc feature

Note

This introduces a breaking change for downstream users who may not have explicitly enabled the gc feature on the c-api crate but rely on it.

Closes https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/12783

To confirm you saw it as well @tolumide-ng, CI failed above so some changes will be needed on this PR to resolve them
