lucet version is latest master branch git clone https://github.com/bytecodealliance/lucet.git

Follow is my steps:

cd ~/workplace mkdir hello cd hello vim hello.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    puts("Hello world");
    return 0;
}

wasm32-wasi-clang -Ofast -o hello.wasm hello.c lucetc-wasi -o hello.so hello.wasm lucet-wasi hello.so

output: Hello world

cd lucet/docs/lucet-runtime-example cp hello.so into docs/lucet-runtime-example/

Who can tell me why? thanks a lot

Thanks for this report. lucet-runtime-example is incorrect here, and this never got caught because it is not tested in CI. Since https://github.com/bytecodealliance/lucet/pull/655, any use of lucet-wasi requires instances be run as async inside the tokio runtime. We realize this restriction is pretty heavy, but lucet is approaching its EOL and lucet isn't structured to make supporting both sync and async versions of wasi easy. We recommend users transition to our sister project, wasmtime, which at this point supports everything lucet does, as well as many new wasm features which lucet does not. Wasmtime supports wasi both on sync rust and on top of tokio.

I got it, thanks very much for your reply.
