/*
Example of instantiating of the WebAssembly module and invoking its exported
function.

You can compile and run this example on Linux with:

   cargo build --release -p wasmtime-c-api
   c++ examples/async.cc \
       -I crates/c-api/include \
       target/release/libwasmtime.a \
       -std=c++11 \
       -lpthread -ldl -lm \
       -o async
   ./async

Note that on Windows and macOS the command will be similar, but you'll need
to tweak the `-lpthread` and such annotations.

You can also build using cmake:

mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build . --target wasmtime-async
