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 is a large-ish scale reorganization of our examples. The
main goal here is to have a dedicated section of the guide for example,
and all examples will be listed there. Each example's `README` is now
just boilerplate pointing at the guide along with a blurb about how to
run it.
Some examples like `math` and `smorgasboard` have been deleted as they
didn't really serve much purpose, and others like `closures` have been
rewritten with `web-sys` instead of hand-bound bindings.
Overall it's hoped that this puts us in a good and consistent state for
our examples, with all of them being described in the guide, excerpts
are in the guide, and they're all relatively idiomatically using
`web-sys`.
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!
