JS engines guarantee that at least one of our `then` callbacks are
invoked, so that means if we destroy them prematurely they're guaranteed
to log an exception to the console! Instead to prevent exceptions from
happening tweak how the completion callbacks for JS futures are managed
and ensure that the closures stay alive until they're invoked later.
Closes#1637
Most of the CLI crates were already in the 2018 edition, and it turns
out that one of the macro crates was already in the 2018 edition so we
may as well move everything to the 2018 edition!
Always nice to remove those `extern crate` statements nowadays!
This commit also does a `cargo fmt --all` to make sure we're conforming
with style again.
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!
Previously whenever a future readiness notification came in we would
immediately start polling a future. This ends up having two downsides,
however:
* First, the stack depth may run a risk of getting blown. There's no
recursion limit to defer execution to later, which means that if
futures are always ready we'll keep making the stack deeper.
* Second, and more worrisome in the near term, apparently future
adapaters in the `futures` crate (namely the unsync oneshot channel)
doesn't actually work if you immediately poll on readiness. This may
or may not be a bug in the `futures` crate but it's good to fix it
here anyway.
As a result whenever a future is ready to get polled again we defer its
polling to the next turn of the event loop. This should ensure that the
current call stack is always drained and we're effectively enqueueing
the future to be polled in the near future.
