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!
Reported in #1191 the fix requires us to get a bit creative I think. The
general gist is that a block like this:
#[wasm_bindgen]
impl Foo {
pub fn foo() {}
}
was previously expanded all in one go. Now, however, it's expanded into:
impl Foo {
#[__wasm_bindgen_class_marker(Foo = "Foo")]
pub fn foo() {}
}
// goop generated by orginal #[wasm_bindgen]
This method of expansion takes advantage of rustc's recursive expansion
feature. It also allows us to expand `impl` blocks and allow inner items
to not be fully expanded yet, such as still having `#[cfg]` attributes
(like in the original bug report).
We use theinternal `__wasm_bindgen_class_marker` to indicate that we're
parsing an `ImplItemMethod` unconditionally, and then generation
proceeds as usual. The only final catch is that when we're expanding in
an `impl` block we have to generate tokens for the `Program`
(wasm-bindgen injected goop like the custom section) inside the body
of the function itself instead of next to it. Otherwise we'd get syntax
errors inside of impl blocks!
Closes#1191
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 implements a system that will assert that all
`#[wasm_bindgen]` attributes are actually used during compilation. This
should help ensure that we don't sneak in stray attributes that don't
actually end up having any meaning, and hopefully make it a bit easier
to learn `#[wasm_bindgen]`!
This commit switches all imports of JS methods to `structural` by
default. Proposed in [RFC 5] this should increase the performance of
bindings today while also providing future-proofing for possible
confusion with the recent addition of the `Deref` trait for all imported
types by default as well.
A new attribute, `host_binding`, is introduced in this PR as well to
recover the old behavior of binding directly to an imported function
which will one day be the precise function on the prototype. Eventually
`web-sys` will switcsh over entirely to being driven via `host_binding`
methods, but for now it's been measured to be not quite as fast so we're
not making that switch yet.
Note that `host_binding` differs from the proposed name of `final` due
to the controversy, and its hoped that `host_binding` is a good
middle-ground!

This commit migrates away from using Serde for the custom section in
wasm executables. This is a refactoring of a purely-internal data
structure to `wasm-bindgen` and should have no visible functional change
on users.
The motivation for this commit is two fold:
* First, the compile times using `serde_json` and `serde_derive` for the
syntax extension isn't the most fun.
* Second, eventually we're going to want to stablize the layout of the
custom section, and it's highly unlikely to be json!
Primarily, though, the intention of this commit is to improve the
cold-cache compile time of `wasm-bindgen` by ensuring that for new users
this project builds as quickly as possible. By removing some heavyweight
dependencies from the procedural macro, `serde`, `serde_derive`, and
`serde_json`, we're able to get a pretty nice build time improvement for
the `wasm-bindgen` crate itself:
| | single-core build | parallel build |
|-------------|-------------------|----------------|
| master | 36.5s | 17.3s |
| this commit | 20.5s | 11.8s |
These are't really end-all-be-all wins but they're much better
especially on the spectrum of weaker CPUs (in theory modeled by the
single-core case showing we have 42% less CPU work in theory).
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!
If the setter doesn't start with `set_*` then we currently panic, but
panicking is bad! Instead let's thread through structured errors to make
sure they make their way to the top
This commit adds support for exporting a function defined in Rust that returns a
`Result`, translating the `Ok` variant to the actual return value and the `Err`
variant to an exception that's thrown in JS.
The support for return types and descriptors was rejiggered a bit to be a bit
more abstract and more well suited for this purpose. We no longer distinguish
between functions with a return value and those without a return value.
Additionally a new trait, `ReturnWasmAbi`, is used for converting return values.
This trait is an internal implementation detail, however, and shouldn't surface
itself to users much (if at all).
Closes#841
This is intended to address #834 where we don't actually want methods scoped
like this! Instead we'll provide one unique accessor for the `window` object
itself.
This commit adds further support for the `Global` attribute to not only emit
structural accessors but also emit functions that don't take `&self`. All
methods on a `[Global]` interface will not require `&self` and will call
functions and/or access properties on the global scope.
This should enable things like:
Window::location() // returns `Location`
Window::fetch(...) // invokes the `fetch` function
Closes#659
