Working with Multiple Memories

You can also browse this source code online and clone the wasmtime repository to run the example locally:

This example demonstrates using the multiple memories proposal, instantiating a module that imports and exports more than one linear memory.

//! An example of how to interact with multiple memories.
//!
//! Here a small wasm module with multiple memories is used to show how memory
//! is initialized, how to read and write memory through the `Memory` object,
//! and how wasm functions can trap when dealing with out-of-bounds addresses.

// You can execute this example with `cargo run --example example`
