We originally had a `context.Context` for anything that might be traced, but it turned out to be only useful for lifecycle and host functions. For instruction-scoped aspects like memory updates, a context parameter is too fine-grained and also invisible in practice. For example, most users will use the compiler engine, and its memory, global or table access will never use go's context. Signed-off-by: Adrian Cole <adrian@tetrate.io>
VS
This directory contains tests which compare against other runtimes. As all known alternatives use CGO, this contains its own go.mod, as otherwise project dependencies are tainted and multi-platform tests more difficult to manage.
Examples of portability issues besides CGO
- Wasmtime can only be used in amd64
- Wasmer doesn't link on Windows
