This commit starts wasm-bindgen down a path of removing the special
casing it currently has around vectors, slices, and strings. This has
long been a thorn in wasm-bindgen's side as it doesn't handle other
kinds of vectors and otherwise is very inflexible with future additions.
Additionally it leads to a lot of duplicated-ish code throughout various
portions of codegen.
The fundamental reason for this was that two arguments were required to
be passed back to wasm, and I couldn't figure out a way to shove both
those arguments into a function argument. The new strategy here is that
there is one global stack well known to both JS and Rust which arguments
*may* also be transferred between.
By default all ABI arguments pass as literal function arguments, but if
two or more arguments need to be passed then the extra ones are all
passed through this global stack. The stack is effectively temporary
scratch space when crossing the JS/Rust boundary (both ways). No long
term storage is intended here.
The `simple` test is passing as a result of this commit, using strings
internally. The `Vector` type in the AST has been removed (yay!) and the
bulk of the implementation of slices and vectors now resides in the
`wasm-bindgen` crate itself, defining how to pass all these arguments
around. The JS generator, however, still needs to know about all the
sorts of vectors so it can generate appropriate code for JS.
Future commits will continue cleanup and get the rest of the tests
working.
This commit leverages two new attributes in the Rust compiler,
`#[wasm_custom_section]` and `#[wasm_import_module]`. These two attributes allow
removing a lot of hacks found in wasm-bindgen and also allows removing the
requirement of `wasm-opt` to remove the unused data sections.
This does require two new nightly features but we already required the
`proc_macro` nightly feature and these will hopefully be stabilized before that
feature!
This'll allow binding multiple signatures of a JS function as well as otherwise
changing the name of the JS function you're calling from the Rust function that
you're defining.
Closes#72
This attribute indicates that methods are to be accessed in a structural method
rather than through their class. This should allow direct access to properties
embedded on objects rather than forcing all objects to have a class/prototype.
Along the way remove the namespace in Rust as this ended up causing too many
problems, alas! The `js_namespace` attribute now almost exclusively modifies the
JS bindings, hence the "js" in the name now.
This commit renames the `static` attribute to `namespace` and simultaneously
reduces and expands the scope. The `namespace` attribute can now be applied to
all imports in addition to functions, and it no longer recognizes full typed
paths but rather just a bare identifier. The `namespace` attribute will generate
a Rust namespace to invoke the item through if one doesn't already exist (aka
bindign a type).
Looks like LLD implicitly pads data values with zeros at the end rather than
explicitly listing them, this means that we need to read out the last byte, even
if it's not 4-byte aligned, as it could still represent a wasm-bindgen-generated
32-bit value.
