# Wasmer Runtime C API
Wasmer is a standalone JIT WebAssembly runtime, aiming to be fully
compatible with WASI, Emscripten, Rust and Go. [Learn
more](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer).
This crate exposes a C and a C++ API for the Wasmer runtime.
# Usage
The C and C++ header files can be found in the source tree of this
crate, respectively [`wasmer.h`][wasmer_h] and
[`wasmer.hh`][wasmer_hh]. They are automatically generated, and always
up-to-date in this repository.
The runtime library needed to compile (so, dll, dylib) can be donwloaded in wasmer [release page](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/releases).
Here is a simple example to use the C API:
```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include "../wasmer.h"
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdint.h>
int main()
{
// Read the Wasm file bytes.
FILE *file = fopen("sum.wasm", "r");
fseek(file, 0, SEEK_END);
long len = ftell(file);
uint8_t *bytes = malloc(len);
fseek(file, 0, SEEK_SET);
fread(bytes, 1, len, file);
fclose(file);
// Prepare the imports.
wasmer_import_t imports[] = {};
// Instantiate!
wasmer_instance_t *instance = NULL;
wasmer_result_t instantiation_result = wasmer_instantiate(&instance, bytes, len, imports, 0);
assert(instantiation_result == WASMER_OK);
// Let's call a function.
// Start by preparing the arguments.
// Value of argument #1 is `7i32`.
wasmer_value_t argument_one;
argument_one.tag = WASM_I32;
argument_one.value.I32 = 7;
// Value of argument #2 is `8i32`.
wasmer_value_t argument_two;
argument_two.tag = WASM_I32;
argument_two.value.I32 = 8;
// Prepare the arguments.
wasmer_value_t arguments[] = {argument_one, argument_two};
// Prepare the return value.
wasmer_value_t result_one;
wasmer_value_t results[] = {result_one};
// Call the `sum` function with the prepared arguments and the return value.
wasmer_result_t call_result = wasmer_instance_call(instance, "sum", arguments, 2, results, 1);
// Let's display the result.
printf("Call result: %d\n", call_result);
printf("Result: %d\n", results[0].value.I32);
// `sum(7, 8) == 15`.
assert(results[0].value.I32 == 15);
assert(call_result == WASMER_OK);
wasmer_instance_destroy(instance);
return 0;
}
```
# Testing
The tests can be run via `cargo test`, such as:
```sh
$ cargo test -- --nocapture
```
To run tests manually, enter the `lib/runtime-c-api/tests` directory
and run the following commands:
```sh
$ cmake .
$ make
$ make test
```
