This commit moves `wasm-bindgen` the CLI tool from internally using
`parity-wasm` for wasm parsing/serialization to instead use `walrus`.
The `walrus` crate is something we've been working on recently with an
aim to replace the usage of `parity-wasm` in `wasm-bindgen` to make the
current CLI tool more maintainable as well as more future-proof.
The `walrus` crate provides a much nicer AST to work with as well as a
structured `Module`, whereas `parity-wasm` provides a very raw interface
to the wasm module which isn't really appropriate for our use case. The
many transformations and tweaks that wasm-bindgen does have a huge
amount of ad-hoc index management to carefully craft a final wasm
binary, but this is all entirely taken care for us with the `walrus`
crate.
Additionally, `wasm-bindgen` will ingest and rewrite the wasm file,
often changing the binary offsets of functions. Eventually with DWARF
debug information we'll need to be sure to preserve the debug
information throughout the transformations that `wasm-bindgen` does
today. This is practically impossible to do with the `parity-wasm`
architecture, but `walrus` was designed from the get-go to solve this
problem transparently in the `walrus` crate itself. (it doesn't today,
but this is planned work)
It is the intention that this does not end up regressing any
`wasm-bindgen` use cases, neither in functionality or in speed. As a
large change and refactoring, however, it's likely that at least
something will arise! We'll want to continue to remain vigilant to any
issues that come up with this commit.
Note that the `gc` crate has been deleted as part of this change, as the
`gc` crate is no longer necessary since `walrus` does it automatically.
Additionally the `gc` crate was one of the main problems with preserving
debug information as it often deletes wasm items!
Finally, this also starts moving crates to the 2018 edition where
necessary since `walrus` requires the 2018 edition, and in general it's
more pleasant to work within the 2018 edition!
This is split out from #1002 and is intended to fix the tool's handling
of the `start` function. For the most accurate emulation of the wasm ESM
spec I believe we need to defer execution of the start function until
all our exports are wired up which should allow valid cyclical
references during instantiation.
The fix here is to remove the start function, if one is present, and
inject an invocation of it at the end of initialization (after our
exports are wired up). This fixes tests on #1002, but doesn't have any
direct analogue for tests here just yet.
Along the way because multiple files now come out of `wasm2es6js` by
default I've added an `--out-dir` argument as well as `-o` to ensure
that a folder for all outputs can be specified.
This commit adds a new attribute to `#[wasm_bindgen]`: `start`. The
`start` attribute can be used to indicate that a function should be
executed when the module is loaded, configuring the `start` function of
the wasm executable. While this doesn't necessarily literally configure
the `start` section, it does its best!
Only one crate in a crate graph may indicate `#[wasm_bindgen(start)]`,
so it's not recommended to be used in libraries but only end-user
applications. Currently this still must be used with the `crate-type =
["cdylib"]` annotation in `Cargo.toml`.
The implementation here is somewhat tricky because of the circular
dependency between our generated JS and the wasm file that we emit. This
circular dependency makes running initialization routines (like the
`start` shim) particularly fraught with complications because one may
need to run before the other but bundlers may not necessarily respect
it. Workarounds have been implemented for various emission strategies,
for example calling the start function directly after exports are wired
up with `--no-modules` and otherwise working around what appears to be
a Webpack bug with initializers running in a different order than we'd
like. In any case, this in theory doesn't show up to the end user!
Closes#74
This commit adds a `--remove-name-section` flag to the `wasm-bindgen`
command which will remove the `name` section of the wasm file, used to
indicate the names of functions typically used in debugging. This flag
is off-by-default and will primarily be controlled by wasm-pack,
typically being passed by default with `wasm-pack build --release`.
Closes#1021
Previously `arguments` was used to pass around an array of arguments,
but this wasn't actually a `js_sys::Array` but rather a somewhat
esoteric internal object. When switching over `Array` methods to be
`structural` this caused issues because the inherent methods on an
`arguments` object were different than that of `js_sys::Array`.
This shaves a little over 2MB off the download locally for Linux,
removing debuginfo (which no one's probably gonna use anyway) as well as
switching from jemalloc to the system allocator.
This commit removes the need for an injected `ConstructorToken` type and
also cleans up the story we have for generating constructors a bit.
After this commit a `constructor()` is omitted entirely if we're in
non-debug mode and there's no actual listed constructor. Additionally we
don't deal with splat arguments and rerouting constructors, Nick was
kind enough to enlighten me about `Object.create` which is creating an
instance without running the constructor!
Instances of an exported type are now created through one of two
methods:
* If `#[wasm_bindgen(constructor)]` is present, then a `constructor` is
generated with the appropriate signature. If a constructor is not
present and we're in debug mode, a throwing constructor is generated.
If we're in release mode and there's no constructor, no constructor is
generated.
* Otherwise if a binding returns an instance of a type (or otherwise
needs to manfuacture an instance, then it will cause an internal
`__wrap` function to be generated. This function will use
`Object.create` to create an instance without running the constructor.
This should ideally clean up our generated JS for classes quite a bit,
making it much more lean-and-mean!
