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!
Closes#74
This commit switches all imports of JS methods to `structural` by
default. Proposed in [RFC 5] this should increase the performance of
bindings today while also providing future-proofing for possible
confusion with the recent addition of the `Deref` trait for all imported
types by default as well.
A new attribute, `host_binding`, is introduced in this PR as well to
recover the old behavior of binding directly to an imported function
which will one day be the precise function on the prototype. Eventually
`web-sys` will switcsh over entirely to being driven via `host_binding`
methods, but for now it's been measured to be not quite as fast so we're
not making that switch yet.
Note that `host_binding` differs from the proposed name of `final` due
to the controversy, and its hoped that `host_binding` is a good
middle-ground!

I've noticed this in a few cases where it's sometimes easy to have a
`WebAssembly.Module` on-hand for the `--no-modules` mode where you don't
want to necessarily `fetch`. This commit changes the exported
initialization function in `--no-modules` mode to support both!
This commit does a few things, including:
* Fixing the generated JS of `wasm-bindgen` to allow polyfills to work.
(a minor tweak of the generated JS)
* All examples are updated to include a Webpack-specific polyfill for
these two types to get examples working in Edge.
* A new page has been added to the guide about supported browsers. This
mentions known caveats like IE 11 requiring `wasm2js` as well as
documenting some `TextEncoder` and `TextDecoder` workarounds for Edge.
Closes#895
This commit adds support for exporting a function defined in Rust that returns a
`Result`, translating the `Ok` variant to the actual return value and the `Err`
variant to an exception that's thrown in JS.
The support for return types and descriptors was rejiggered a bit to be a bit
more abstract and more well suited for this purpose. We no longer distinguish
between functions with a return value and those without a return value.
Additionally a new trait, `ReturnWasmAbi`, is used for converting return values.
This trait is an internal implementation detail, however, and shouldn't surface
itself to users much (if at all).
Closes#841
