This commit adds an intrinsics to the `wasm_bindgen` crate which
accesses the `WebAssembly.Table` which is the function table of the
module. Eventually the thinking is that a module would import its own
function table via native wasm functionality (via `anyref` and such),
but until that's implemented let's add a binding for it ourselves!
Closes#1427
Because of some incorrect use of `js.push_str(..)`, we could sometimes emit code
before the ES modules imports, which is syntactically invalid:
const __exports = {};
import { Thing } from '...'; // Syntax error!
This has been fixed by making sure that the correct `imports` or `imports_post`
string is built up. We now also assert that the `js` string is empty at the
location where we add imports if we're using ES modules.
This commit fixes the `init` function when passed a
`WebAssembly.Module`. Upon closer reading of the [spec] we see there's
two possible return values from `WebAssembly.instantiate`. If passed a
`Module`, it will return only the `Instance`. If passed a buffer source,
though, it'll return an object with the module/instance.
The fix here is to check the result value is an `Instance`, and if so
assume the input must have been a module so it's paired up in the
output.
Closes#1418

Instead of doubling the size on each iteration, use precise upper limit (3 * JS length) if the string turned out not to be ASCII-only. This results in maximum of 1 reallocation instead of O(log N).
Some dummy examples of what this would change:
- 1000 of ASCII chars: no change, allocates 1000 bytes and bails out.
- 1000 ASCII chars + 1 '😃': before allocated 1000 bytes and reallocated to 2000; now allocates 1000 bytes and reallocates to 1006.
- 1000 of '😃' chars: before allocated 1000 bytes, reallocated to 2000, finally reallocated again to 4000; now allocates 1000 bytes and reallocates to 4000 right away.

Most of the CLI crates were already in the 2018 edition, and it turns
out that one of the macro crates was already in the 2018 edition so we
may as well move everything to the 2018 edition!
Always nice to remove those `extern crate` statements nowadays!
This commit also does a `cargo fmt --all` to make sure we're conforming
with style again.
Node.js doesn't currently implement `TextEncoder::encodeInto`. I've raised an upstream issue to add it - https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/26904 - but it's likely to take some time and will be available only in new releases.
In the meanwhile, it's worth noting that Node.js already has `Buffer::write` which has pretty similar semantics, but doesn't require creating an intermediate view using `.subarray` and instead accepts pointer and length directly.
Also, Node.js has `Buffer::byteLength` helper which allows to efficiently retrieve an encoded byte length of a string upfront, and so allows us to avoid a loop with reallocations.
This change takes leverage of these methods by generating an additional Buffer-based view into the WASM memory and using it for string operations.
I'm seeing up to 35% increase in performance in string-heavy library benchmarks.
We have very few tests today so this starts to add the basics of a test
suite which compiles Cargo projects on-the-fly which will hopefully help
us bolster the amount of assertions we can make about the output.
This commit implements [RFC 8], which enables transitive and transparent
dependencies on NPM. The `module` attribute, when seen and not part of a
local JS snippet, triggers detection of a `package.json` next to
`Cargo.toml`. If found it will cause the `wasm-bindgen` CLI tool to load
and parse the `package.json` within each crate and then create a merged
`package.json` at the end.

We've always wanted this to be the deterministic, but usage of `HashMap`
for example can accidentally lead to non-determinism. Looks like one was
forgotten and the bindings were nondeterministic by accident as a
result!
This commit deprecates the `--web`, `--no-modules`, and `--nodejs` flags
in favor of one `--target` flag. The motivation for this commit is to be
consistent between `wasm-bindgen` and `wasm-pack` so documentation for
one is applicable for the other (so we don't have to document everywhere
what the translation is between flags). Additionally this should make it
a bit easier to add new targets (if necessary) in the future as it won't
add to the proliferation of flags.
For now the old flags (like `--web`) continue to be accepted, but
they'll be removed during the next set of breaking changes for
`wasm-bindgen`.
This allows subverting the checks and resolution performed by the
`module` attribute added as part of [RFC 6] and has been discussed in #1343.
Closes#1343
[RFC 6]: https://github.com/rustwasm/rfcs/pull/6
This commit reverts part of the implementation of [RFC 6]. That RFC
specified that the `--browser` flag was going to be repurposed for the
new "natively loadable as ES module output", but unfortunately the
breakage is far broader than initially expected. It turns out that
`wasm-pack` passes `--browser` by default which means that a change to
break `--browser` would break all historical versions of `wasm-pack`
which is a bit much for now.
To solve this the `--browser` flag is going back to what it represents
on the current released version of `wasm-bindgen` (optimize away some
node.js checks in a few places for bundler-style output) and a new
`--web` flag is being introduced as the new deployment strategy.
[RFC 6]: https://github.com/rustwasm/rfcs/pull/6Closes#1318
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 6] which enables crates to
inline local JS snippets into the final output artifact of
`wasm-bindgen`. This is accompanied with a few minor breaking changes
which are intended to be relatively minor in practice:
* The `module` attribute disallows paths starting with `./` and `../`.
It requires paths starting with `/` to actually exist on the filesystem.
* The `--browser` flag no longer emits bundler-compatible code, but
rather emits an ES module that can be natively loaded into a browser.
Otherwise be sure to check out [the RFC][RFC 6] for more details, and
otherwise this should implement at least the MVP version of the RFC!
Notably at this time JS snippets with `--nodejs` or `--no-modules` are
not supported and will unconditionally generate an error.

Looks like `TextEncoder#encodeInto` isn't compatible when the buffer
passed in is backed by a `SharedArrayBuffer`, so if the module has a
shared thread skip the `encodeInto` optimization entirely.
This commit adds support for the recently implemented standard of
[`TextEncoder#encodeInto`][standard]. This new function is a "bring your
own buffer" style function where we can avoid an intermediate allocation
and copy by encoding strings directly into wasm's memory.
Currently we feature-detect whether `encodeInto` exists as it is only
implemented in recent browsers and not in all browsers. Additionally
this commit emits the binding using `encodeInto` by default, but this
requires `realloc` functionality to be exposed by the wasm module.
Measured locally an empty binary which takes `&str` previously took
7.6k, but after this commit takes 8.7k due to the extra code needed for
`realloc`.

This commit adds experimental support to `wasm-bindgen` to emit and
leverage the `anyref` native wasm type. This native type is still in a
proposal status (the reference-types proposal). The intention of
`anyref` is to be able to directly hold JS values in wasm and pass the
to imported functions, namely to empower eventual host bindings (now
renamed WebIDL bindings) integration where we can skip JS shims
altogether for many imports.
This commit doesn't actually affect wasm-bindgen's behavior at all
as-is, but rather this support requires an opt-in env var to be
configured. Once the support is stable in browsers it's intended that
this will add a CLI switch for turning on this support, eventually
defaulting it to `true` in the far future.
The basic strategy here is to take the `stack` and `slab` globals in the
generated JS glue and move them into wasm using a table. This new table
in wasm is managed at the fringes via injected shims. At
`wasm-bindgen`-time the CLI will rewrite exports and imports with shims
that actually use `anyref` if needed, performing loads/stores inside the
wasm module instead of externally in the wasm module.
This should provide a boost over what we have today, but it's not a
fantastic strategy long term. We have a more grand vision for `anyref`
being a first-class type in the language, but that's on a much longer
horizon and this is currently thought to be the best we can do in terms
of integration in the near future.
The stack/heap JS tables are combined into one wasm table. The stack
starts at the end of the table and grows down with a stack pointer (also
injected). The heap starts at the end and grows up (state managed in
linear memory). The anyref transformation here will hook up various
intrinsics in wasm-bindgen to the runtime functionality if the anyref
supoprt is enabled.
The main tricky treatment here was applied to closures, where we need JS
to use a different function pointer than the one Rust gives it to use a
JS function pointer empowered with anyref. This works by switching up a
bit how descriptors work, embedding the shims to call inside descriptors
rather than communicated at runtime. This means that we're accessing
constant values in the generated JS and we can just update the constant
value accessed.
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!
