Create uvwasi executable based on C API ?

[sbc100]

Can we take uvwasi and hooks it up the wasm runtime with the C API?

Then we could have a common WASI runtime that would work with any wasm engine that exposes the C-API.

For example we could take uivwasi and wee8 (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oFPHyNb_eXg6NzrE6xJDNPdJrHMZvx0LqsD6wpbd9vY/edit#heading=h.4tfb7x3beh2l) and create something like node but without any JS.

Ideally the uvwasi executable would dynamically link to libwasm.so (providing the C API) so that any wasm engine would be dropped in without even re-compiling.

That sounds like a great idea in theory. I only say in theory because I'm not very familiar with the specifics of the c-api and there don't seem to be many docs, so it's hard for me to gauge what work would be involved.

If you or anyone else wants to take this on, or can help point me in the right direction, I'd be in favor of seeing uvwasi support it.

I'm looking into moving this direction once the wabt API hookup is done. If it works I can try to upstream it here.

That would be great. Thank you!
