This is still a work in progress. Parse WebIDL source text and convert it into
wasm-bindgen AST, so that we can automatically emit bindings for the types and
functions described in the WebIDL.
Awhile back slices switched to being raw views into wasm memory, but this
doens't work if we free the underlying memory unconditionally! Moving around a
`Vec` is already moving a lot of data, so let's copy it onto the JS heap instead
of leaving it in the wasm heap.
This commit is an implementation of mapping u64/i64 to `BigInt` in JS through
the unstable BigInt APIs. The BigInt type will ship soon in Chrome and so this
commit builds out the necessary support for wasm-bindgen to use it!
When adding support for mutable slices I was under the impression that if the
wasm memory was reallocated while we were using it then we'd have to commit the
changes from the original buffer back to the new buffer. What I didn't know,
however, is that once the wasm memory is reallocated then all views into it are
supposed to be defunkt.
It looks like node 9 didn't have this implementation quite right and it appears
fixed in node 10, causing the deleted test here to fail. While this commit does
raise the question of whether this is the right approach to interact with slices
in JS I think the answer is still "yes". The user can always initiate the copy
if need be and that seems strictly better than copying 100% of the time.
This commit updates the `Abi` associated type for all slice types to a
`WasmSlice` type, an aggregate of two `u32` integers. This translates to an ABI
where when passed as a function argument it expands to two integer arguments,
and when passed as a return value it passes a return pointer as the first
argument to get filled in.
This is hopefully more forwards-compatible with the host bindings proposal which
uses this strategy for passing string arguments at least. It's a little sketchy
what we're doing as there's not really a stable ABI yet, but hopefully this'll
all be relatively stable for awhile!
