Rust + Glimmer experiments
Currently this repository takes this abstraction and ports it directly
to Rust. The interface here is a cdylib at src/lib.rs and has a few
implementations currently for assessing size:
-
naive- this is an implementation built directly onVecin the standard
library. 100% safe, easy to read, easy to write. -
hand-optimized-vec- this is also usingVecbut hand-optimizes a few
operations that don't optimize well in the standard library. For example
Cloneandpushare optimized to have better codegen and generate less
code. -
crazy- this is a 100% unsafe implementation that uses the raw wasm
instructions to allocate memory. It's intended to be the "limit" but is hard
to read, write, and modify. Wouldn't recommend using.
The foo.sh script will compile everything (using cargo features on the main
crate) and run the test.js script to ensure at least a smoke test passes. The
size for each of these implementations is:
| implementation | gz size in bytes |
|---|---|
| naive | 15551 |
| hand-optimzied | 3343 |
| crazy | 711 |
