LLVM's mergefunc pass may mean that the same descriptor function is used
for different closure invocation sites even when the closure itself is
different. This typically only happens with LTO but in theory could
happen at any time!
The assert was tripping when we tried to delete the same function table
entry twice, so instead of a `Vec<usize>` of entries to delete this
commit switches to a `HashSet<usize>` which should do the deduplication
for us and enusre that we delete each descriptor only once.
Closes#1264
This should help handle instances like the recent Webpack bug and is
also a useful flag in its own right. For now it's set to `false`, but if
the Webpack bug persists through to tomorrow we likely want to publish a
version of `wasm-bindgen` with it default set to `true`.
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!
... and add a parallel raytracing demo!
This commit adds enough support to `wasm-bindgen` to produce a workable
wasm binary *today* with the experimental WebAssembly threads support
implemented in Firefox Nightly. I've tried to comment what's going on in
the commits and such, but at a high level the changes made here are:
* A new transformation, living in a new `wasm-bindgen-threads-xform`
crate, prepares a wasm module for parallel execution. This performs a
number of mundane tasks which I hope to detail in a blog post later on.
* The `--no-modules` output is enhanced with more support for when
shared memory is enabled, allowing passing in the module/memory to
initialize the wasm instance on multiple threads (sharing both module
and memory).
* The `wasm-bindgen` crate now offers the ability, in `--no-modules`
mode, to get a handle on the `WebAssembly.Module` instance.
* The example itself requires Xargo to recompile the standard library
with atomics and an experimental feature enabled. Afterwards it
experimentally also enables threading support in wasm-bindgen.
I've also added hopefully enough CI support to compile this example in a
builder so we can upload it and poke around live online. I hope to
detail more about the technical details here in a blog post soon as
well!
This commit migrates away from using Serde for the custom section in
wasm executables. This is a refactoring of a purely-internal data
structure to `wasm-bindgen` and should have no visible functional change
on users.
The motivation for this commit is two fold:
* First, the compile times using `serde_json` and `serde_derive` for the
syntax extension isn't the most fun.
* Second, eventually we're going to want to stablize the layout of the
custom section, and it's highly unlikely to be json!
Primarily, though, the intention of this commit is to improve the
cold-cache compile time of `wasm-bindgen` by ensuring that for new users
this project builds as quickly as possible. By removing some heavyweight
dependencies from the procedural macro, `serde`, `serde_derive`, and
`serde_json`, we're able to get a pretty nice build time improvement for
the `wasm-bindgen` crate itself:
| | single-core build | parallel build |
|-------------|-------------------|----------------|
| master | 36.5s | 17.3s |
| this commit | 20.5s | 11.8s |
These are't really end-all-be-all wins but they're much better
especially on the spectrum of weaker CPUs (in theory modeled by the
single-core case showing we have 42% less CPU work in theory).
The `wasm-bindgen` crate is effectively the only user of this crate now
that the `wasm-gc` tool has been deprecated. It's also much easier to
keep it in this repository as it's easier to sync changes to
`parity-wasm`. I'd also like to start refactoring out utilities for
managing a `parity_wasm::Module` to share between this crate and the
other CLI support code.
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.
First added in #161 this never ended up panning out, so let's remove the
experimental suport which isn't actually used by anything today and hold off on
any other changes until an RFC happens.
Currently the `wasm-gc-api` crate doesn't expose `parity_wasm::Module` as a
public dependency which means that whenever we want to run a GC (which is twice
per `wasm-bindgen` invocation) we have to serialize and reparse the module a
lot! The `wasm-bindgen` has to serialize, `wasm-gc` then parses, `wasm-gc` then
serializes, and `wasm-bindgen` then parses.
This commit sidesteps all of these operations by ensuring that we always use the
same `parity_wasm::Module` instance, even when multiple versions of the
`parity_wasm` crate are in use. We'll get a speed boost when they happen to
align (which they always should for `wasm-bindgen`), but it'll work even if they
aren't aligned (by going through serialization).
Concretely on my machine this takes a `wasm-bindgen` invocation from 0.5s to
0.2s, a nice win!
* Bump to 0.2.12
* Update all version numbers and deps
* Update all listed authors to `["The wasm-bindgen Developers"]`
* Update `repository` links to specific paths for each crate
* Update `homepage` links to the online book
* Update all links away from `alexcrichton/wasm-bindgen`
* Add `#[doc]` directives for HTML URLs
* Update more version requirements
* Fill out CHANGELOG
The changes on master Rust insert debug sections now (yay!) but this means that
wasm binaries by default pick up debug sections from the standard library, so
let's remove them by default in wasm-bindgen unless `--debug` is passed
