wasm: Increase default stack size to 1MB
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit increases the dfeault stack size allocated to the
wasm32-unknown-unknown target to 1MB by default. Currently the default stack
size is one wasm page, or 64 kilobytes. This default stack is quite small and
has caused a stack overflow or two in the wild by accident.

The current "best practice" for fixing this is to pass `-Clink-args='-z
stack-size=$bigger'` but that's not great nor always easy to do. A default of
1MB matches more closely with other platforms where it's "pretty big" by
default.

Note that it was tested and if the users uses `-C link-args` to pass a custom
stack size that's still resepected as lld seems to take the first argument, and
where rustc is passing it will always be last.
