381: Separate Native from the Core r=grovesNL a=kvark Fixes #379 (haven't figured out how to build remote static lib to test the example, but that's not as important at this stage, since we have Gecko). Fixes #168 Related to #2 and #8 This is a major refactor that moves out the core Rust API into a separate crate. It also changes the export semantics of wgpu-core in a way that the modules are exposed, and all the functionality is now represented as methods of `Global`. The "local" feature is transformed into a type system as a generic parameter `<F>` on the hubs. Pros: - "local" feature is gone - we can change the core API more often, this doesn't necessarily require the `native` breaking version bump, and it would be very handy when adding Gecko-related changes - Gecko needs less stuff to compile (remote + core) - no collision of library names (native with or without the local feature) - less problem with crate types - cleaner semantics: each crate is either C or Rust, but not both Cons: - more generics, I wouldn't be surprised this regresses the build times visibly Co-authored-by: Dzmitry Malyshau <kvarkus@gmail.com>
