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 commit updates the `--debug` output of `wasm-bindgen` from the CLI
to catch all JS exceptions from imported functions, log such, and then
rethrow. It's hoped that this can be used when necessary to learn more
information about thrown exceptions and where an uncaught exception
could be causing issues with Rust code.
Closes#1176
Previously `catch` and `variadic` would exopse methods in our JS shims,
but they did so earlier than necessary. Turns out `variadic` didn't
actually need to expose anything and `catch` could do so much later!
Currently closure shims are communicated to JS at runtime, although at
runtime the same constant value is always passed to JS! More pressing,
however, work in #1002 requires knowledge of closure descriptor indices
at `wasm-bindgen` time which is not currently known.
Since the closure descriptor shims and such are already constant values,
this commit moves the descriptor function indices into the *descriptor*
for a closure/function pointer. This way we can learn about these values
at `wasm-bindgen` time instead of only knowing them at runtime.
This should have no semantic change on users of `wasm-bindgen`, although
some closure invocations may be slightly speedier because there's less
arguments being transferred over the boundary. Overall though this will
help #1002 as the closure shims that the Rust compiler generates may not
be the exact ones we hand out to JS, but rather wrappers around them
which do `anyref` business things.
This commit adds an optimization to `wasm-bindgen` to directly import
and invoke other modules' functions from the wasm module, rather than
going through a shim in the imported bindings. This will be an important
optimization in the future for the host bindings proposal, but for now
it's largely just a proof-of-concept to show that we can do it and is
unlikely to bring about many performance benefits.
The implementation in this commit is largely refactoring to reorganize a
bit how functions are imported, but the implementation happens in
`generate_import_function`.
With this commit, 71/287 imports in the `tests/wasm/main.rs` suite get
hooked up directly to the ES modules, no shims needed!
When returning a ptr/length for allocations and such wasm-bindgen's
generated JS would previously return an array with two elements. It
turns out this doesn't optimize well in all engines! (See #1031). It
looks like we can optimize the array destructuring a bit more, but this
is all generated code which doesn't need to be too readable so we can
also remove the temporary allocation entirely and just pass the second
element of this array through a global instead of the return value.
Closes#1031
This commit removes shims, where possible, for `structural` items.
Instead of generating code that looks like:
const target = function() { this.foo(); };
exports.__wbg_thing = function(a) { target.call(getObject(a)); };
we now instead generate:
exports.__wbg_thing = function(a) { getObject(a).foo(); };
Note that this only applies to `structural` bindings, all default
bindings (as of this commit) are still using imported targets to ensure
that their binding can't change after instantiation.
This change was [detailed in RFC #5][link] as an important optimization
for `structural` bindings to ensure they've got performance parity with
today's non-`structural` default bindings.

This commit implements support for binding APIs that take
`Uint8ClampedArray` in JS. This is pretty rare but comes up in a
`web-sys` binding or two, and we're now able to bind these APIs instead
of having to omit the bindings.
The `Uint8ClampedArray` type is bound by using the `Clamped` marker
struct in Rust. For example this is declaring a JS API that takes
`Uint8ClampedArray`:
use wasm_bindgen::Clamped;
#[wasm_bindgen]
extern {
fn takes_clamped(a: Clamped<&[u8]>);
}
The `Clamped` type currently only works when wrapping the `&[u8]`, `&mut
[u8]`, and `Vec<u8>` types. Everything else will produce an error at
`wasm-bindgen` time.
Closes#421
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!
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 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!
* Shard the `convert.rs` module into sub-modules
Hopefully this'll make the organization a little nicer over time!
* Start adding support for optional types
This commit starts adding support for optional types to wasm-bindgen as
arguments/return values to functions. The strategy here is to add two new
traits, `OptionIntoWasmAbi` and `OptionFromWasmAbi`. These two traits are used
as a blanket impl to implement `IntoWasmAbi` and `FromWasmAbi` for `Option<T>`.
Some consequences of this design:
* It should be possible to ensure `Option<SomeForeignType>` implements to/from
wasm traits. This is because the option-based traits can be implemented for
foreign types.
* A specialized implementation is possible for all types, so there's no need for
`Option<T>` to introduce unnecessary overhead.
* Two new traits is a bit unforutnate but I can't currently think of an
alternative design that works for the above two constraints, although it
doesn't mean one doesn't exist!
* The error messages for "can't use this type here" is actually halfway decent
because it says these new traits need to be implemented, which provides a good
place to document and talk about what's going on here!
* Nested references like `Option<&T>` can't implement `FromWasmAbi`. This means
that you can't define a function in Rust which takes `Option<&str>`. It may be
possible to do this one day but it'll likely require more trait trickery than
I'm capable of right now.
* Add support for optional slices
This commit adds support for optional slice types, things like strings and
arrays. The null representation of these has a pointer value of 0, which should
never happen in normal Rust. Otherwise the various plumbing is done throughout
the tooling to enable these types in all locations.
* Fix `takeObject` on global sentinels
These don't have a reference count as they're always expected to work, so avoid
actually dropping a reference on them.
* Remove some no longer needed bindings
* Add support for optional anyref types
This commit adds support for optional imported class types. Each type imported
with `#[wasm_bindgen]` automatically implements the relevant traits and now
supports `Option<Foo>` in various argument/return positions.
* Fix building without the `std` feature
* Actually fix the build...
* Add support for optional types to WebIDL
Closes#502
Awhile back slices switched to being raw views into wasm memory, but this
doens't work if we free the underlying memory unconditionally! Moving around a
`Vec` is already moving a lot of data, so let's copy it onto the JS heap instead
of leaving it in the wasm heap.
This commit is an implementation of mapping u64/i64 to `BigInt` in JS through
the unstable BigInt APIs. The BigInt type will ship soon in Chrome and so this
commit builds out the necessary support for wasm-bindgen to use it!
When adding support for mutable slices I was under the impression that if the
wasm memory was reallocated while we were using it then we'd have to commit the
changes from the original buffer back to the new buffer. What I didn't know,
however, is that once the wasm memory is reallocated then all views into it are
supposed to be defunkt.
It looks like node 9 didn't have this implementation quite right and it appears
fixed in node 10, causing the deleted test here to fail. While this commit does
raise the question of whether this is the right approach to interact with slices
in JS I think the answer is still "yes". The user can always initiate the copy
if need be and that seems strictly better than copying 100% of the time.
This commit updates the `Abi` associated type for all slice types to a
`WasmSlice` type, an aggregate of two `u32` integers. This translates to an ABI
where when passed as a function argument it expands to two integer arguments,
and when passed as a return value it passes a return pointer as the first
argument to get filled in.
This is hopefully more forwards-compatible with the host bindings proposal which
uses this strategy for passing string arguments at least. It's a little sketchy
what we're doing as there's not really a stable ABI yet, but hopefully this'll
all be relatively stable for awhile!
This commit adds support for mutable slices to pass the boundary between JS and
Rust. While mutable slices cannot be used as return values they can be listed as
arguments to both exported functions as well as imported functions.
When passing a mutable slice into a Rust function (aka having it as an argument
to an exported Rust function) then like before with a normal slice it's copied
into the wasm memory. Afterwards, however, the updates in the wasm memory will
be reflected back into the original slice. This does require a lot of copying
and probably isn't the most efficient, but it should at least work for the time
being.
The real nifty part happens when Rust passes a mutable slice out to JS. When
doing this it's a very cheap operation that just gets a subarray of the main
wasm memory. Now the wasm memory's buffer can change over time which can produce
surprising results where memory is modified in JS but it may not be reflected
back into Rust. To accomodate this when a JS imported function returns any
updates to the buffer are copied back to Rust if Rust's memory buffer has
changed in the meantime.
Along the way this fixes usage of `slice` to instead use `subarray` as that's
what we really want, no copying. All methods have been updated to use `subarray`
accessors instead of `slice` or constructing new arrays.
Closes#53
Currently errors are reported via Rust panics but there's lots more errors being
added over time so this commit starts the movement towards the `failure` crate
to more idiomatically report errors as well as provide better error messages
over time.
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
