Using Rust with Endive

Compile Rust to Wasm

Compiling a Rust library to Wasm is easy and can be performed using standard rustc options:

rustc --target=wasm32-unknown-unknown --crate-type=cdylib

when you need to add support for WASI preview 1 (typically when using CLIs) you can use:

rustc --target=wasm32-wasi --crate-type=bin

tip

For production usage, make sure to produce an optimized Wasm module by using the standard compiler options -C opt-level = 3 (speed) or -C opt-level = "z" (size).

Using in Endive

import run.endive.wasm.Parser;
import run.endive.runtime.Instance;

var instance = Instance.builder(Parser.parse(new File("count_vowels.rs.wasm"))).build();

var alloc = instance.export("alloc");
var dealloc = instance.export("dealloc");
var countVowels = instance.export("count_vowels");

var memory = instance.memory();
var message = "Hello, World!";
byte[] bytes = message.getBytes();
int len = bytes.length;
int ptr = (int) alloc.apply(len)[0];

memory.write(ptr, bytes);

var result = countVowels.apply(ptr, len)[0];
System.out.println(result);
