Add the ability to cache typechecking an instance - #2962
Merged
Conversation
This commit adds the abilty to cache the type-checked imports of an instance if an instance is going to be instantiated multiple times. This can also be useful to do a "dry run" of instantiation where no wasm code is run but it's double-checked that a `Linker` possesses everything necessary to instantiate the provided module. This should ideally help cut down repeated instantiation costs slightly by avoiding type-checking and allocation a `Vec<Extern>` on each instantiation. It's expected though that the impact on instantiation time is quite small and likely not super significant. The functionality, though, of pre-checking can be useful for some embeddings.
