support target wasm32-wasip1

[nkysg]

when I run the cmd

cargo +stable build  --target wasm32-wasip1 --no-default-features

It outputs this information

Do we have plan to support wasm32-wasip1 ？

The problem is technically easy to solve, but requires deep thinking about how the API should look like. In wasm32 usize has 4 bytes. My structures (bitmaps) support 2 to the power of 64 indexes. So I would have to use u64 instead of usize to index them. Moreover, I use arrays and vectors underneath, so when their indexes are 32 bits, I can't implement full 64 bit indexes in bitmaps.

As a workaround, you can try compiling with the wasm64-unknown-unknown target. It uses the (for now experimental) memory64 wasm extension.

I work on 32 bit support in 32bits branch. The code should compile and work, but I have no way to test it at the moment. The API is preserved, i.e. usize is used for indexing and counting bits. This means that (for a 32 bit usize) their number cannot exceed 2 to the power of 32.

Thanks for your help!

Now everything in 32bits branch seems to compile and pass the test on 32 bit platform (I've tested with i686-unknown-linux-gnu target). Can you check for your target platform(s)?

[nkysg]

Yeah, Thank you for your help. I have tried with 32 bit platform.

Thanks. I will merge 32bits into main in the next few days and release new versions of crates to cargo.
