EIP-001: Specify the calling convention and memory lookup for plugin IO
nilslice opened this issue · comments
@zshipko, I've set up a EIP-001 doc in main to work off of for this spec!
I added some initial ideas after our discussion, I will probably make some changes next week but it's been updated some thoughts about the direction we could take it in.
That looks great! After looking through usage of the Table API, it seemed like maybe we were going to have to force it a bit and comparatively, the Global API seems to be more fitting.
I think it would be possible to hide the details of any mutable global from the plugin author, since they would only be calling wrapped external functions for the offset/length calls. But from the examples in the Global docs, I'm not certain... namely the linking done to provide access to the values within the module from the host.
