[dart2wasm] Type parameters and optional parameters for closures

Changes the representation of closures to include a vtable with entry
points for the various ways in which the function can be called.

For each combination of type parameter count and positional parameter
count, the names of named parameters occurring together with that
combination are partitioned into clusters such that any combination of
names that occurs together is contained within a single cluster.

Each combination of type parameter count and positional parameter
count gets a vtable layout for signatures without named parameters,
plus one for each cluster of parameter names belonging to the
combination.

Each vtable layout will have an entry for each number of positional
arguments from 0 up to the maximum number for the signature, followed
by an entry for each (non-empty) combination of argument names from
its cluster that occurs in a function call in the program.

This layout scheme is consistent with function subtyping in the sense
that if signature B is a subtype of signature A, then the Wasm struct
for the vtable layout corresponding to B is a subtype of the Wasm struct for the vtable layout corresponding to A, i.e. the fields in the layout
for A is a prefix of the fields in the layout for B.

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app.

  • Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
