We've had a lot of bug reports with upstream webpack currently and while
webpack has a fix it may take a moment to deploy. Let's try and fix
wasm-bindgen in the meantime!
Once webpack is updated we can go back to emitting a producers section
by default and publish a new version of wasm-bindgen.
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!
