As part of deprecating support for native extensions we are also
migrating away from legacy VM-specific `native 'name'` syntax
towards metadata based encoding which does not require any special
syntax.
This CL is a step 1 in migration:
- introduces support for `@pragma('vm:external-name', 'name')`
which serves as a direct replacement for `native 'name'`;
- all core libraries and tests are migrated to use the annotation;
Once this CL lands and rolls we will edit internal and external embedders
to eliminate uses of the native keyword (step 2) and finally remove
support for native keyword across our parsers (step 3).

Dart Kernel
Dart Kernel is a small high-level language derived from Dart. It is designed for use as an intermediate format for whole-program analysis and transformations, and to be consumed by codegen and execution backends.
The kernel language has an in-memory representation in Dart and can be serialized as binary or text.
Both the kernel language and its implementations are unstable and are under development.
This package contains the Dart part of the implementation and contains:
- A transformable IR for the kernel language
- Serialization of kernel code
Note: The APIs in this package are in an early state; developers should be careful about depending on this package. In particular, there is no semver contract for release versions of this package. Please depend directly on individual versions.
See ast.dart for the in-memory IR, or binary.md for a description of the binary format. For now, the textual format is very ad-hoc and cannot be parsed back in.
