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!
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 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
Previously `wasm-bindgen` would take its `breaks_if_inlined` shims and
attempt to remove them entirely, replacing calls to `breaks_if_inlined`
to the imported closure factories. This worked great in that it would
remove the `breaks_if_inlined` funtion entirely, removing the "cost" of
the `#[inline(never)]`.
Unfortunately as #864 discovered this is "too clever by half". LLVM's
aggressive optimizations won't inline `breaks_if_inlined`, but it may
still change the ABI! We can't replace calls to `breaks_if_inlined` if
the signature changes, because the function its calling has a fixed signature.
This commit cops out a bit and instead of replacing calls to
`breaks_if_inlined` to the imported closure factories, we instead
rewrite calls to `__wbindgen_describe_closure` to the closure factories.
This means that the `breaks_if_inlined` shims do not get removed. It
also means that the closure factory shims have a third and final
argument (what would be the function pointer of the descriptor function)
which is dead and unused.
This should be a functional solution for now and let us iterate on a
true fix later on (if needed). For now the cost of this
`#[inline(never)]` and the extra unused argument should be quite small.
Closes#864
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>`.
This is a pretty heavyweight dependency which accounts for a surprising amount
of runtime for larger modules in `wasm-bindgen`. We don't need 90% of the crate
and so this commit bundles a small interpreter for instructions we know are only
going to appear in describe-related functions.
