Update preview1 to trap on misaligned pointers#6776
Update preview1 to trap on misaligned pointers#6776pchickey merged 4 commits intobytecodealliance:mainfrom
Conversation
Previously Wasmtime would return `EINVAL` to a guest but the upstream documentation indicates that misaligned pointers should trap, so this commit updates the alignment error to get converted into a trap rather than than being returned to the guest.

@pchickey I'd also be interested in your thoughts on the behvaior of out-of-bounds pointers as well. The linked documentation doesn't specifically say what to do in that case so I left it as-is with EFAULT for now, but should the docs perhaps be updated to indicate that a trap should happen in that situation as well? |

There's actually been an outstanding PR to update that language to trap, as well: WebAssembly/WASI#536. I agreed then we should merge it, but it fell off my radar. cc @yamt |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I merged the pointer out of bounds changes upstream, so you can also change the PtrOutOfBounds and PtrOverflow cases to trap.
The new preview 1 implementation inside wasi/src/preview2/preview1 should also be updated as well. Unfortunately, it looks like instead of using a From impl there, it instead uses a pattern of Result<_, GuestError>::or(Err(Errno::Inval)) at each call site, so that is a tougher job. Its OK to not take that on as part of this PR, but we should file an issue on it if you want to defer it.

Sounds good! I think I covered all the bases here, but would be good to double-check |
