AOT Compatibility #293

Open andrewmd5 opened 8 months ago

andrewmd5 commented 8 months ago

I'd like to suggest some improvements to make wasmtime-dotnet more AOT friendly. I'm thinking along the lines of enabling static linking against wasmtime, which could really improve scenarios where the C# assembly is AOT compiled.. More details about .NET's native AOT and how it interops with native code can be found here: Native AOT with .NET.

Why This Matters:

AOT offers significant performance improvements and having wasmtime-dotnet support this more seamlessly would be a huge win. It could enhance the library's usability in high-performance scenarios.

Suggested Changes:

I'm happy to implement the necessary changes myself if it is something that will be accepted.

Hi @andrewmd5, thanks very much for the informational request!

I definitely think this would be something we would accept, but I'm not entirely sure what the work entails. Is it mostly just a different way of building the project?
