Alex Crichton a2aa28e4d3 Add a #[wasm_bindgen(start)] attribute
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!

wasm-bindgen-macro

Implementation of the #[wasm_bindgen] attribute. See the wasm-bindgen documentation for more information about what this macro does.

Testing

Testing of this macro is done through "ui tests" in the ui-tests subdirectory of this crate. Each Rust file in this folder is compiled with the wasm_bindgen crate, and the *.stderr file sitting next to it is the asserted output of the compiler. If the output matches, the test passes, and if the output doesn't match the test fails. Note that it is also considered a failure if a test actually compiles successfully.

To add a test:

  • Create ui-tests/my-awesome-test.rs
  • Write an invalid #[wasm_bindgen] invocation, testing the error you're generating
  • Execute cargo test -p ui-tests, the test will fail
  • From within the ui-tests folder, execute ./update-all-references.sh. This should create a my-awesome-test.stderr file.
  • Inspect my-awesome-test.stderr to make sure it looks ok
  • Rerun cargo test -p ui-tests and your tests should pass!

Testing here is a work in progress, see #601 for more information.
