Summary

  • share a per-agent Wasm engine/store so Emscripten main and side modules can link real functions, memories, tables, and globals, including through Proxy-backed imports
  • implement host-backed WebAssembly.Table, WebAssembly.Global, and WebAssembly.Memory resources, exact i64/externref marshalling, Promise-compatible byte instantiation, and export shims through 16 arguments
  • collect dynamic Wasm/file import attributes, expose opt-in module diagnostics, and add AOT regression coverage for the shared Emscripten resource graph

Validation

  • cargo test -p perry-wasm-host (15 passed)
  • cargo check -p perry-runtime --features wasm-host
  • cargo test -p perry --bin perry dynamic_wasm_import_attribute_returns_embedded_path
  • cargo test -p perry --bin perry dynamic_file_import_attribute_handles_tree_sitter_queries
  • cargo test -p perry --test issue_5234_wasm_esm_import wasm_esm_import_instantiates_and_exposes_exports -- --nocapture
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • ./scripts/check_file_size.sh
  • real OpenCode @silvia-odwyer/photon-node sync initialization plus PNG decode, Lanczos resize, and encode; output is byte-identical to Bun
  • real web-tree-sitter ESM and CJS packages compile with the core, Bash, and PowerShell Wasm assets embedded. The runtime smoke test is currently blocked before WebAssembly initialization by an existing RegExp-translation crash while initializing tree-sitter.js; the shared main/side-module graph itself is covered by the new synthetic regression.

Fixes #10102.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Improved WebAssembly interoperability between Emscripten main and side modules, including shared functions, tables, memories, and globals.
    • Added support for WebAssembly table, global, and memory creation and manipulation.
    • Expanded WebAssembly imports and callbacks to support extern references, shared function references, and exact 64-bit integer values.
    • Dynamic imports can now embed WebAssembly and file assets using import attributes.
  • Diagnostics
    • Added optional WebAssembly loading diagnostics with module sizes and import/export details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now shares WebAssembly externals across Emscripten main and side modules. It adds host-backed constructors and operations for tables, globals, and memories, supports externref and exact i64 values, expands export-call arity, packages dynamic Wasm and file assets, and adds integration coverage.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to caab2

This change enables shared WebAssembly module loading, but several concrete defects remain on the hot wasm paths: the shared engine state can be aliased re-entrantly during JavaScript import callbacks, some object addresses are reused after operations that can move them, WebAssembly.instantiate dispatch and its module-handle overload behave incorrectly, funcref table reads leak host handles, and the test build with the wasm host feature does not compile. These should be resolved before merge to avoid crashes, memory growth, and broken module loading.

Explanation

The PR implements and tests several coding objectives in #10102. The shared-import test verifies shared memory, table, mutable global, and function identity. The end-to-end test covers Proxy imports, synchronous WebAssembly.Module and WebAssembly.Instance, byte instantiation, constructors, table growth, and 11-argument exports. Asset tests cover dynamic wasm and file imports. The summary reports byte-identical Photon output and adds opt-in diagnostics. The shell grammar, PowerShell grammar, and OpenTUI worker highlighting remain unverified because the runtime smoke test stops at an existing RegExp-translation crash. The summary also does not provide a grammar-load performance comparison or independent evidence for the required WASI calls.

Resolution

Provide reviewable runtime evidence for the shell grammars and OpenTUI worker highlighting after WebAssembly initialization, plus evidence of the required grammar-load performance comparison and WASI call behavior. The existing RegExp crash must not prevent those checks, or the assessment cannot establish full compliance with #10102.

table_value_for_store duplicates tables::table_value.

The two helpers implement the same element-type conversion rules. tables.rs Lines 111-130 differ only in how they reach the store. A future change to funcref or externref handling must be applied twice, and a divergence silently produces wrong table values.

Extract one helper that takes &mut Store<()> and call it from tables::table_value through inst.store_mut().

♻️ Proposed consolidation

In crates/perry-wasm-host/src/tables.rs, delegate to the shared helper:

 pub(crate) fn table_value(
     inst: &mut WasmInstanceHandle,
     table: Table,
     bits: u64,
     is_null: i32,
     external: *mut c_void,
 ) -> Option<Val> {
-    let element = table.ty(inst.store()).element();
-    if is_null != 0 {
-        return Some(Val::default(element));
-    }
-    match element {
-        ValType::ExternRef => Some(Val::from(ExternRef::new(inst.store_mut(), bits))),
-        ValType::FuncRef => match extern_from_handle(external) {
-            Some(Extern::Func(function)) => Some(Val::FuncRef(Ref::Val(function))),
-            _ => None,

- Line 668: Adjust the conditional compilation around wasm_memory_new_buffer so
it remains available when compiling tests, including configurations with the
wasm-host feature enabled. Preserve its existing non-test wasm-host exclusion
for production code while allowing the #[cfg(test)] tests that call
wasm_memory_new_buffer to resolve it.
- Line 1013: Move the arity registration for webassembly_instantiate_thunk to
after install_webassembly_static_fn so the final registered arity remains 2.
Preserve the existing thunk and installation behavior, ensuring one-argument
WebAssembly.instantiate calls dispatch through the two-argument path and receive
the missing imports value safely.

In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/webassembly_calls.rs`:
- Around line 20-29: Update the outcome handling around js_promise_new so the Ok
result or Err reason is rooted before promise allocation, then reload the
NaN-boxed value from its root handle before passing it to js_promise_resolve or
js_promise_reject. Preserve the existing fulfillment and rejection branches
while ensuring neither publishes a stale pointer after evacuation.

In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/webassembly.rs`:
- Line 1842: Update the WebAssembly.Module branch in the instantiate flow to
return a thenable resolving to the value produced by make_instance_value,
matching the Promise<Instance> contract. Do not use make_instance_result, since
that returns the byte-source { module, instance } shape.

In `@crates/perry-wasm-host/src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 110-112: Update with_host_runtime to use a thread-local
reentrancy/depth guard before creating the mutable HostRuntime reference,
rejecting nested access when the store is already borrowed. Propagate that
rejection through each affected C ABI entry point using its existing failure
return value so JavaScript wrappers throw, while preserving normal behavior for
the outermost call; ACTIVE_INSTANCE_TABLES does not replace this guard.

In `@crates/perry-wasm-host/src/tables.rs`:
- Around line 99-105: Update the Val::FuncRef handling in the table and external
read paths so each WasmExternHandle is released when its JavaScript wrapper is
destroyed, while remaining available to make_table_function closure capture 6
during use. Ensure extern_from_handle participates in this ownership lifecycle
and apply the same cleanup rule to both paths, including uncached
js_wasm_table_get reads.

In `@crates/perry/src/commands/compile/collect_modules_helpers.rs`:
- Line 84: Update the source collection logic around the filter_map closure to
propagate None when import.src.value.as_str() fails, rather than converting the
failed Wtf8Atom conversion to an empty string; retain valid source strings
unchanged and avoid inserting empty specifiers into sources.

Register the instantiate dispatch arity after its install.

install_webassembly_static_fn overwrites the earlier arity 2 registration with 1. A one-argument WebAssembly.instantiate(bytes) call then selects js_closure_call1, although webassembly_instantiate_thunk reads both bytes and imports. The missing imports value is not padded to undefined. Calls with two arguments still dispatch through js_closure_call2, but the one-argument form can read an unsupplied ABI slot.

Root the fulfillment value before allocating the promise.

js_promise_new() at Line 20 allocates and can trigger evacuation. result and reason are plain locals that hold NaN-boxed pointers, so they are not rewritten by the collector. Passing them to js_promise_resolve/js_promise_reject at Lines 22-29 can publish a stale address.

Based on learnings, root a NaN-boxed value and reload it from the handle before reuse after any allocating operation.

Root and reload values across allocation points. named_key allocates through js_string_from_bytes, so it can move imports and module_object before their copied pointers are used. In js_wasm_table_get, make_table_function allocates a closure and can move the array before values_ptr is derived. Re-read each value from its RuntimeHandle after the allocation, then derive the pointer or JSValue from the refreshed value.

official WebAssembly.instantiate Module imports synchronous return Instance JavaScript API specification

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The WebAssembly JavaScript API does not provide a synchronous version of WebAssembly.instantiate [1][2]. The WebAssembly.instantiate method is strictly asynchronous and returns a Promise [1][2][3]. If you require synchronous instantiation of a WebAssembly module, you must use the WebAssembly.Instance constructor [4][2]. WebAssembly.Instance(module, importObject) The WebAssembly.Instance constructor creates a new Instance object from an already-compiled WebAssembly.Module [4][2]. This is a synchronous operation that blocks the main thread [4][5]. Because instantiation can be computationally expensive—potentially including compilation steps depending on the implementation—the use of this synchronous constructor is generally discouraged in favor of asynchronous methods like WebAssembly.instantiate or WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming [4][2][6]. Key distinction: WebAssembly.instantiate: An asynchronous method that handles both compilation (if provided raw bytes) and instantiation [1][3]. WebAssembly.Instance: A synchronous constructor that takes an existing WebAssembly.Module and imports to create an instance immediately [4][2]. Due to performance considerations and the potential for blocking the main thread, many browser implementations impose size limitations on synchronous operations [6][5]. Consequently, the asynchronous streaming API (WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming) is the recommended standard for loading and running WebAssembly modules in production environments [4][5][7].

It’s been available across browsers since October 2017. * Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support. - Learn more - See full compatibility The`WebAssembly.instantiate()` static method allows you to compile and instantiate WebAssembly code. This function has two overloads: - The primary overload takes the WebAssembly binary code, in the form of a typed array or ArrayBuffer, and performs both compilation and instantiation in one step. The returned`Promise` resolves to both a compiled WebAssembly.Module and its first WebAssembly.Instance. - The secondary overload takes an already-compiled WebAssembly.Module and returns a`Promise` that resolves to an`Instance` of that`Module`. This overload is useful if the`Module` has already been compiled. Warning: This method is not the most efficient way of fetching and instantiating Wasm modules. If at all possible, you should use the newer WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming() method instead, which fetches, compiles, and instantiates a module all in one step, directly from the raw bytecode, so doesn&`#39`;t require conversion to an ArrayBuffer. ## Syntax js ``` // Taking Wasm binary code WebAssembly.instantiate(bufferSource) WebAssembly.instantiate(bufferSource, importObject) WebAssembly.instantiate(bufferSource, importObject, compileOptions) // Taking a module object instance WebAssembly.instantiate(module) WebAssembly.instantiate(module, importObject) WebAssembly.instantiate(module, importObject, compileOptions) ``` ### Parameters `bufferSource` A typed array or ArrayBuffer containing the binary code of the Wasm module you want to compile. `module` The WebAssembly.Module object to be instantiated. `importObject` Optional An object containing the values to be imported into the newly-created`Instance`, such as functions or WebAssembly.Memory objects.

This post explains our recommended approach for optimal efficiency. Mathias Bynens When working with WebAssembly, you often want to download a module, compile it, instantiate it, and then use whatever it exports in JavaScript. This post starts off with a common but suboptimal code snippet doing exactly that, discusses several possible optimizations, and eventually shows the simplest, most efficient way of running WebAssembly from JavaScript. Note: Tools like Emscripten can produce the needed boilerplate code for you, so you don’t necessarily have to code this yourself. In cases where you need fine-grained control over the loading of WebAssembly modules however, it helps to keep the following best practices in mind. This code snippet does the complete download-compile-instantiate dance, albeit in a suboptimal way: Don’t use this! ``` (async () => { const response = await fetch(&`#39`;fibonacci.wasm&`#39`;); const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer(); const module = new WebAssembly.Module(buffer); const instance = new WebAssembly.Instance(module); const result = instance.exports.fibonacci(42); console.log(result); })(); ``` Note how we use `new WebAssembly.Module(buffer)` to turn a response buffer into a module. This is a synchronous API, meaning it blocks the main thread until it completes. To discourage its use, Chrome disables `WebAssembly.Module` for buffers larger than 4 KB. To work around the size limit, we can use `await WebAssembly.compile(buffer)` instead: ``` (async () => { const response = await fetch(&`#39`;fibonacci.wasm&`#39`;); const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer(); const module = await WebAssembly.compile(buffer); const instance = new WebAssembly.Instance(module); const result = instance.exports.fibonacci(42); console.log(result); })(); ``` `await WebAssembly.compile(buffer)` is still not the optimal approach, but we’ll get to that in a second. Almost every operation in the modified snippet is now asynchronous, as the use of `await` makes clear. The only exception is `new WebAssembly.Instance(module)`, which has the same 4 KB buffer size restriction in Chrome. For consistency and for the sake of keeping the main thread free, we can use the asynchronous `WebAssembly.instantiate(module)`. ``` (async () => { const response = await fetch(&`#39`;fibonacci.wasm&`#39`;); const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer(); const module = await WebAssembly.compile(buffer); const instance = await WebAssembly.instantiate(module); const result = instance.exports.fibonacci(42); console.log(result); })(); ``` Let’s get back to the `compile` optimization I hinted at earlier. With streaming compilation, the browser can already start to compile the WebAssembly module while the module bytes are still downloading. Since download and compilation happen in parallel, this is faster — especially for large payloads. To enable this optimization, use `WebAssembly.compileStreaming` instead of `WebAssembly.compile`. This change also allows us to get rid of the intermediate array buffer, since we can now pass the `Response` instance returned by `await fetch(url)` directly. ``` (async () => { const response = await fetch(&`#39`;fibonacci.wasm&`#39`;); const module = await WebAssembly.compileStreaming(response); const instance = await WebAssembly.instantiate(module); const result = instance.exports.fibonacci(42); console.log(result); })(); ``` Note: The server must be configured to serve the `.wasm` file with the correct MIME type by sending the `Content-Type: application/wasm` header. In previous examples, this wasn’t necessary since we were passing the response bytes as an array buffer, and so no MIME type checking took place. The `WebAssembly.compileStreaming` API also accepts a promise that …[truncated]

Return a thenable for the WebAssembly.Module overload.

WebAssembly.instantiate(module, imports) returns a Promise<Instance>. This branch returns the bare instance from make_instance_value, so Emscripten's async side-module path fails when it calls .then(...). Return a thenable that resolves to the instance. Do not reuse make_instance_result, which resolves to the byte-source { module, instance } shape.

Add a reentrancy guard before borrowing HOST_RUNTIME.

with_host_runtime creates an unguarded &mut HostRuntime. During an instance call, wasmi holds &mut Store while func_new invokes call_wasm_import, which executes JavaScript. If that JavaScript accesses a shared external, its C wrapper re-enters with_host_runtime and aliases the same Store. This can cause undefined behavior or a runtime failure. ACTIVE_INSTANCE_TABLES protects only instance-table mutations.

Add a thread-local borrow/depth guard. When the store is already borrowed, return each C ABI's existing failure value so the JavaScript wrapper throws instead of re-entering.

Release each funcref handle with its JavaScript wrapper.

The Val::FuncRef branches in tables.rs and externals.rs allocate a new WasmExternHandle; extern_from_handle only copies the Extern, and no matching release path exists. js_wasm_table_get caches a value in __wasmValues, so repeated table.get(i) calls do not reread the host for the same index, but each uncached funcref read leaks one handle. make_table_function stores that handle in closure capture 6, which later calls use, so do not free it immediately after wrapper creation. Add cleanup tied to the wrapper's destruction, or reuse and release handles with the table lifecycle, and apply the same ownership rule to both read paths.

Filter failed Wtf8Atom conversions instead of inserting an empty specifier.

Wtf8Atom::as_str() returns Option<&str>, so both lines compile and line 93 is correct. At line 84, however, unwrap_or("") can add "" to sources when the source contains an unpaired surrogate. Propagate None through filter_map:

Proposed fix
             let attributes = import.with.as_deref()?;
             requests_asset_path(attributes)

+                .then(|| import.src.value.as_str().map(str::to_owned))
+                .flatten()

Train168 (#10138) lands on main at 0.5.1540; the PR did not bump the version,
which is the maintainer's job at merge time. Cargo.lock regenerated so every
workspace member's inherited version moves with it.

The raw-handle ratchet went 944 -> 953 on this PR, with two violations that
ceilings cannot absorb: `webassembly_calls.rs` is new, and
`--no-raise-vs <merge-base>` refuses a ceiling on a file absent at the base,
while `webassembly.rs` cannot have its existing ceiling raised (20 -> 24).

All nine sites are argument-position reads handed straight to a non-allocating
store or a self-rooting entry point, which is what `with_{mut,const}_ptr` is
for:

- `webassembly_calls.rs`: the settle path's `js_promise_resolve`/`_reject` and
  its boxed return, and the instance-result `then` closure's capture store and
  boxed pointer.
- `webassembly.rs`: `object_set`'s receiver and key, and the two import-resolution
  key reads feeding `js_object_get_field_by_name_f64`.

That also retires one pre-existing site, so the recorded total falls 944 -> 943
(`--no-raise-vs origin/main`: "none raised").

#10138 makes `wasm_memory_new_buffer` `#[cfg(not(feature = "wasm-host"))]` — with
the host present, memory comes from the real wasm host instead of a registered
ArrayBuffer — but leaves two tests calling it unconditionally:

    error[E0425]: cannot find function `wasm_memory_new_buffer` in this scope
      --> crates/perry-runtime/src/object/global_this_webassembly.rs:1629
      --> crates/perry-runtime/src/object/global_this_webassembly.rs:1677

`cargo check -p perry-runtime --tests --features wasm-host` therefore fails on
this branch while it passes on `main`. Both tests exercise the fallback the
function implements, so they are gated the same way rather than given a
wasm-host variant: with the feature on there is no such function to test.

Worth noting how this was nearly missed. `webassembly.rs` and friends sit behind
`#[cfg(feature = "wasm-host")]`, which is not a default feature, so the ordinary
`cargo check -p perry-runtime --tests` and `cargo test -p perry-runtime` arms
never compile them at all. A PR that rewrites 1,000 lines of WebAssembly support
can pass both while its own subject is never built — including, in this train,
the raw-handle conversions made to that same file.

Landed on main via merge train #10140 (rebase-merged, per-commit authorship preserved).

Your commit is on main at 1828fd691a; the train tree was verified identical to main after the merge.

Two maintainer follow-ups, and one thing worth knowing about how this validates.

perry-runtime's WebAssembly support sits behind #[cfg(feature = "wasm-host")], which is not a default feature. So cargo check -p perry-runtime --tests and cargo test -p perry-runtime — both green on your branch, 3670 tests — never compile webassembly.rs, webassembly_calls.rs or webassembly_host.rs at all. Running the feature explicitly fails on your branch and passes on main:

cargo check -p perry-runtime --tests --features wasm-host
error[E0425]: cannot find function `wasm_memory_new_buffer` in this scope
  --> crates/perry-runtime/src/object/global_this_webassembly.rs:1629
  --> crates/perry-runtime/src/object/global_this_webassembly.rs:1677
  1. fix(wasm): gate the ArrayBuffer-memory tests to not(wasm-host) (ea3a091b10) — you gate wasm_memory_new_buffer to not(feature = "wasm-host"), which is right, but memory_descriptor_validation_and_buffer_backing and memory_grow_replaces_buffer_and_returns_old_page_count still call it unconditionally. Both exercise the fallback that function is, so I gated them the same way rather than writing wasm-host variants — with the host present there is nothing there to test. Say if you'd rather they had host-backed equivalents.

  2. fix(wasm): scope #10138's handle reads to their non-allocating calls (1e1dbb0619) — the raw-handle ratchet went 944 -> 953. Ceilings could not absorb it: webassembly_calls.rs is new, and --no-raise-vs <merge-base> refuses a ceiling on a file absent at the base, while webassembly.rs cannot have its existing ceiling raised. All nine sites are argument-position reads handed to a non-allocating store or a self-rooting entry point, so they became with_{mut,const}_ptr: the settle path's js_promise_resolve/_reject and boxed return, the instance-result then capture store, object_set's receiver and key, and the two import-resolution key reads. That retired one pre-existing site as well, so the recorded total falls 944 -> 943.

I have made --features wasm-host a standing arm here, because it is the only thing between a wasm-subsystem PR and a green run over code that was never compiled — worth adding to your own loop too.
