This commit switches all of `wasm-bindgen` from the `failure` crate to
`anyhow`. The `anyhow` crate should serve all the purposes that we
previously used `failure` for but has a few advantages:
* It's based on the standard `Error` trait rather than a custom `Fail`
trait, improving ecosystem compatibility.
* We don't need a `#[derive(Fail)]`, which means that's less code to
compile for `wasm-bindgen`. This notably helps the compile time of
`web-sys` itself.
* Using `Result<()>` in `fn main` with `anyhow::Error` produces
human-readable output, so we can use that natively.
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!
This is split out from #1002 and is intended to fix the tool's handling
of the `start` function. For the most accurate emulation of the wasm ESM
spec I believe we need to defer execution of the start function until
all our exports are wired up which should allow valid cyclical
references during instantiation.
The fix here is to remove the start function, if one is present, and
inject an invocation of it at the end of initialization (after our
exports are wired up). This fixes tests on #1002, but doesn't have any
direct analogue for tests here just yet.
Along the way because multiple files now come out of `wasm2es6js` by
default I've added an `--out-dir` argument as well as `-o` to ensure
that a folder for all outputs can be specified.
This shaves a little over 2MB off the download locally for Linux,
removing debuginfo (which no one's probably gonna use anyway) as well as
switching from jemalloc to the system allocator.
In addition to being more ergonomic these are much more efficient at reading
large files as they preallocate internally. This provides a nice speed boost
locally, reducing the overhead of `wasm-bindgen-test-runner` from 0.23s to
0.19s, yay!
* No need for version deps in dev-deps
These are all internal so we can drop the version
* Remove wasm-bindgen-cli's parity-wasm dep
No longer needed
* Tweak file hierarchy in webidl tests
Use Cargo's conventions to avoid the need to define `[[test]]` sections
* Remove unused imports
This commit adds an example of executing the `wasm2asm` tool to generate asm.js
output instead of WebAssembly. This is often useful when supporting older
browsers, such as IE 11, that doesn't have native support for WebAssembly.
Currently errors are reported via Rust panics but there's lots more errors being
added over time so this commit starts the movement towards the `failure` crate
to more idiomatically report errors as well as provide better error messages
over time.
