pub struct ModuleRef(_);
Expand description

Reference to a ModuleInstance.

This reference has a reference-counting semantics.

All ModuleInstance have strong references to it’s components (i.e. globals, memories, funcs, tables), however, this components have weak references to it’s containing module. This might be a problem at execution time.

So if have to make sure that all modules which might be needed at execution time should be retained.

Methods from Deref<Target = ModuleInstance>

Access all globals. This is a non-standard API so it’s unlikely to be portable to other engines.

Invoke exported function by a name.

This function finds exported function by a name, and calls it with provided arguments and external state.

Errors

Returns Err if:

  • there are no export with a given name or this export is not a function,
  • given arguments doesn’t match to function signature,
  • trap occurred at the execution time,
Examples

Invoke a function that takes two numbers and returns sum of them.

assert_eq!(
    instance.invoke_export(
        "add",
        &[RuntimeValue::I32(5), RuntimeValue::I32(3)],
        &mut NopExternals,
    ).expect("failed to execute export"),
    Some(RuntimeValue::I32(8)),
);

Invoke exported function by a name using recycled stacks.

Errors

Same as invoke_export.

Find export by a name.

Returns None if there is no export with such name.
