Working with Wasm Using JSVM-API
Introduction
JSVM-API provides APIs for compiling the WebAssembly (Wasm) bytecode, optimizing Wasm functions, and serializing and deserializing Wasm caches.
Permission requirements: To run the Wasm APIs, the application must have the JIT permission. For details about how to apply for the permission, see Requesting the JIT Permission.
Running restrictions: In the current JSVM version, all functional modules of WebAssembly are disabled in Secure Shield mode. You need to evaluate application compatibility based on the restrictions. For details, see JSVM-API Secure Shield Mode.
Basic Concepts
- Wasm module: a WebAssembly module (Wasm for short). You can use OH_JSVM_CompileWasmModule to create a Wasm module from Wasm bytecode or Wasm cache. use OH_JSVM_IsWasmModuleObject to check whether a JSVM_Value is a Wasm module.
- Wasm function: a function defined in a Wasm module. The functions in a Wasm module can be used by external code after being imported. You can use OH_JSVM_CompileWasmFunction to convert Wasm bytecode into the format that JSVM can execute efficiently.
- Wasm cache: data generated by serializing the bytecode in a Wasm module. The cache holds the compiled Wasm code so that it can be reused, eliminating the need for recompiling the code. You can use OH_JSVM_CreateWasmCache (with cacheType set to JSVM_CACHE_TYPE_WASM) to create a Wasm cache instance and use OH_JSVM_ReleaseCache to release it.
Available APIs
| API | Description |
|---|---|
| OH_JSVM_CompileWasmModule | Compiles the Wasm bytecode into a Wasm module. If the cache parameter is passed in, the cache will be deserialized into a Wasm module first. The compilation is performed after the deserialization fails. If the JIT permission is not supported, a log is printed for notification. |
| OH_JSVM_CompileWasmFunction | Compiles the function with the specified ID in a Wasm module into the optimized machine code. Currently, only the highest optimization level is enabled. The validity of the function ID is ensured by the caller. If the JIT permission is not supported, a log is printed for notification. |
| OH_JSVM_IsWasmModuleObject | Checks whether the input value is a Wasm module. |
| OH_JSVM_CreateWasmCache | Serializes the machine code in a Wasm module into a Wasm cache. If the Wasm module does not contain machine code, the serialization will fail. If the JIT permission is not supported, a log is printed for notification. |
| OH_JSVM_ReleaseCache | Releases a Wasm cache instance created by JSVM-API. The cacheType and cacheData passed in must match. Otherwise, undefined behavior may occur. |
Code Cache Verification Specifications
| Specification | Description |
|---|---|
| Integrity verification | Executed by the developer. |
| Compatibility verification | Checks whether the JSVM version and compilation options of the generated cache are the same as the current one. |
| Consistency verification | Executed by the developer. |
