The `JsValue` type wraps a slab/heap of js objects which is managed by
the wasm-bindgen shim, and everything here is not actually able to cross
any thread boundaries. When wasm actually has threads, for example, each
thread will have to have its own slab of objects generated by
wasm-bindgen, and indices in one slab aren't valid in any other slabs.
This is technically a breaking change because `JsValue` was previously
`Send` and `Sync`, but I'm hoping that in practice this isn't actually a
breaking change because nothing in wasm can be using threads which in
theory shouldn't activate the `Send` and/or `Sync` bounds.
Adding `#[inline]` will typically improve codegen for optimized builds
without LTO (so far the majority in practice) by allowing functions that
otherwise couldn't be inlined across codegen units to get inlined
across codegen units.
Right now `wasm-bindgen` has a lot of functions that are very small and
delegate to other functions, but aren't otherwise candidates for
inlining because they're concrete.
I was poking around in release-mode wasm recently and noticed an
alarming number of functions for tiny pieces of functionality, which
motivates this patch!
This commit improves the codegen for `Closure<T>`, primarily for ZST
where the closure doesn't actually capture anything. Previously
`wasm-bindgen` would unconditionally allocate an `Rc` for a fat pointer,
meaning that it would always hit the allocator even when the `Box<T>`
didn't actually contain an allocation. Now the reference count for the
closure is stored on the JS object rather than in Rust.
Some more advanced tests were added along the way to ensure that
functionality didn't regress, and otherwise the calling convention for
`Closure` changed a good deal but should still be the same user-facing.
The primary change was that the reference count reaching zero may cause
JS to need to run the destructor. It simply returns this information in
`Drop for Closure` and otherwise when calling it now also retains a
function pointer that runs the destructor.
Closes#874
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 commit adds support for the WebIDL `Callback` type by translating all
callbacks to the `js_sys::Function` type. This will enable passing raw JS values
into callbacks as well as Rust valus using the `Closure` type.
This commit doesn't currently implement "callback interfaces" in WebIDL, that's
left for a follow-up commit.
This commit adds an implementation of `AsRef<JsValue>` for the `Closure<T>`
type. Previously this was not possible because the `JsValue` didn't actually
exist until the closure was passed to JS, but the implementation has been
changed to ... something a bit more unconventional. The end result, however, is
that `Closure<T>` now always contains a `JsValue`.
The end result of this work is intended to be a precursor to binding callbacks
in `web-sys` as `JsValue` everywhere but still allowing usage with `Closure<T>`.
* Tweak the implementation of heap closures
This commit updates the implementation of the `Closure` type to internally store
an `Rc` and be suitable for dropping a `Closure` during the execution of the
closure. This is currently needed for promises but may be generally useful as
well!
* Support asynchronous tests
This commit adds support for executing tests asynchronously. This is modeled
by tests returning a `Future` instead of simply executing inline, and is
signified with `#[wasm_bindgen_test(async)]`.
Support for this is added through a new `wasm-bindgen-futures` crate which is a
binding between the `futures` crate and JS `Promise` objects.
Lots more details can be found in the details of the commit, but one of the end
results is that the `web-sys` tests are now entirely contained in the same test
suite and don't need `npm install` to be run to execute them!
* Review tweaks
* Add some bindings for `Function.call` to `js_sys`
Name them `call0`, `call1`, `call2`, ... for the number of arguments being
passed.
* Use oneshots channels with `JsFuture`
It did indeed clean up the implementation!
This commit adds support for both `#![no_std]` in the wasm-bindgen runtime
support (disabled by default with an on-by-default `std` feature). This also
adds support to work and compile in the context of `#![no_std]` crates.
Closes#146
This commit adds support for closures with arguments like strings and such. In
other words, closures passed to JS can now have the same suite of arguments as
all functions that can be exported from Rust, as one might expect!
At this time due to the way trait objects work closures still cannot use types
with references like `&str`, but bare values like `String` or `ImportedType`
should work just fine.
Closes#104
This commit overhauls the conversion traits used for types crossing the Rust/JS
boundary. Previously there were a few ad-hoc traits but now there've been
slightly reduced and decoupled.
Conversion from Rust values to JS values is now exclusively done through
`IntoWasmAbi` with no special treatment for references. Conversion from JS to
Rust is a bit trickier as we want to create references in Rust which have
implications in terms of safety. As a result there are now three traits for
this, `FromWasmAbi`, `RefFromWasmAbi`, and `RefMutFromWasmAbi`. These three
traits are implemented for various types and specially dispatched to depending
on the type of argument in the code generator.
The goal of this commit is to lay the groundwork for using these traits in
closures with straightforward-ish definitions.
This commit is a complete overhaul of how the `#[wasm_bindgen]` macro
communicates type information to the CLI tool, and it's done in a somewhat...
unconventional fashion.
Today we've got a problem where the generated JS needs to understand the types
of each function exported or imported. This understanding is what enables it to
generate the appropriate JS wrappers and such. We want to, however, be quite
flexible and extensible in types that are supported across the boundary, which
means that internally we rely on the trait system to resolve what's what.
Communicating the type information historically was done by creating a four byte
"descriptor" and using associated type projections to communicate that to the
CLI tool. Unfortunately four bytes isn't a lot of space to cram information like
arguments to a generic function, tuple types, etc. In general this just wasn't
flexible enough and the way custom references were treated was also already a
bit of a hack.
This commit takes a radical step of creating a **descriptor function** for each
function imported/exported. The really crazy part is that the `wasm-bindgen` CLI
tool now embeds a wasm interpreter and executes these functions when the CLI
tool is invoked. By allowing arbitrary functions to get executed it's now *much*
easier to inform `wasm-bindgen` about complicated structures of types. Rest
assured though that all these descriptor functions are automatically unexported
and gc'd away, so this should not have any impact on binary sizes
A new internal trait, `WasmDescribe`, is added to represent a description of all
types, sort of like a serialization of the structure of a type that
`wasm-bindgen` can understand. This works by calling a special exported function
with a `u32` value a bunch of times. This means that when we run a descriptor we
effectively get a `Vec<u32>` in the `wasm-bindgen` CLI tool. This list of
integers can then be parsed into a rich `enum` for the JS generation to work
with.
This commit currently only retains feature parity with the previous
implementation. I hope to soon solve issues like #123, #104, and #111 with this
support.
