Topic: wasmtime / PR #6884 wiggle: generate offset accessors for...

acfoltzer opened PR #6884 from bytecodealliance:acf/wiggle-struct-field-offsets to bytecodealliance:main (assigned to acfoltzer):

Adds methods of the shape GeneratedStruct::offset_of_<field_name>() -> u32 to allow clients to get the same offsets used in the generated read and write methods. I don't believe there is currently a way to get these otherwise for applications that wish to selectively read and write to fields.

I considered a couple alternatives to this:

1. Add methods like read_<field_name> and write_<field_name>. The interface to these ends up being awkward because the GuestType impls are currently for owned types, so these methods would be forced to either take ownership of the entire struct to write one field, or else silently clone the field.

2. Add #[repr(C)] to the generated struct definition so that clients could use tools like memoffset to calculate the offset themselves. I didn't want to depend on the witx offsets coinciding with repr(C), though.

I extended the Wiggle records to exercise these new methods.
