`WapcHost` usage in async contexts

[muse254]

I'd like to request for WapcHost to have another implementation that can be used in async environments by the caller. I'm aware that execution of WebAssembly modules is single threaded.

No amount of ceremony helped sidestep this issue. Also redoing the implementation in project doesn't work because of private fields/methods accessed.

Here's what I settled for reference: https://github.com/muse254/wapc-rs/pull/1/files

The error related to this: (self holds WapcHost in it's fields)

error: future cannot be sent between threads safely

@muse254 that's super nice. This is something I wanted to implement since a long time. I'll take a look at the drafted PR during this week.

I looked into your draft PR, then I started working on the topic during the weekend.

The amount of changes to be done was massive. Everything seems to be working 😀 I’m going to open a PR in the next days

[muse254]

I'll be looking forward to the next release. Thank you for the fast turnaround.

@muse254 take a look at the linked PR and let me know what do you think about it. I've also added examples

[muse254]

Hey, it looks really fleshed out. I'll be trying it out to see if I have any issues to report

[muse254]

@flavio I've done some initial tests, and everything seems to be working well, at least for my use cases with WapcHostAsync and related functionality. I'm okay with the implementation as it is. Thanks again for the quick turnaround!

[muse254]

Hey, how's the review coming along. Saw that it's stale. @flavio

@muse254 I've pinged the other waPC maintainers on https://github.com/wapc/wapc-rs/pull/96

[flavio]

@muse254: wasmtime-provider 2.0.0 and wapc 2.0.0 are now available on crates.io :partying_face:

[muse254]

Awesome! Can't wait to start the upgrade 🚀
