Niko Matsakis 0682ad0eb9 Finalize moves-based-on-type implementation.
Changes:

- Refactor move mode computation
- Removes move mode arguments, unary move, capture clauses
  (though they still parse for backwards compatibility)
- Simplify how moves are handled in trans
- Fix a number of illegal copies that cropped up
- Workaround for bug involving def-ids in params
  (see details below)

Future work (I'll open bugs for these...):

- Improve error messages for moves that are due
  to bindings
- Add support for moving owned content like a.b.c
  to borrow check, test in trans (but I think it'll
  "just work")
- Proper fix for def-ids in params

Def ids in params:

Move captures into a map instead of recomputing.

This is a workaround for a larger bug having to do with the def-ids associated
with ty_params, which are not always properly preserved when inlining.  I am
not sure of my preferred fix for the larger bug yet.  This current fix removes
the only code in trans that I know of which relies on ty_param def-ids, but
feels fragile.

The Rust Programming Language

This is a compiler for Rust, including standard libraries, tools and documentation.

Installation

The Rust compiler currently must be built from a tarball, unless you are on Windows, in which case using the installer is recommended.

Since the Rust compiler is written in Rust, it must be built by a precompiled "snapshot" version of itself (made in an earlier state of development). As such, source builds require a connection to the Internet, to fetch snapshots, and an OS that can execute the available snapshot binaries.

Snapshot binaries are currently built and tested on several platforms:

  • Windows (7, Server 2008 R2), x86 only
  • Linux (various distributions), x86 and x86-64
  • OSX 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") or greater, x86 and x86-64

You may find that other platforms work, but these are our "tier 1" supported build environments that are most likely to work.

Note: Windows users should read the detailed getting started notes on the wiki. Even when using the binary installer the Windows build requires a MinGW installation, the precise details of which are not discussed here.

To build from source you will also need the following prerequisite packages:

  • g++ 4.4 or clang++ 3.x
  • python 2.6 or later (but not 3.x)
  • perl 5.0 or later
  • gnu make 3.81 or later
  • curl

Assuming you're on a relatively modern *nix system and have met the prerequisites, something along these lines should work.

$ wget http://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-0.5.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf rust-0.5.tar.gz
$ cd rust-0.5
$ ./configure
$ make && make install

You may need to use sudo make install if you do not normally have permission to modify the destination directory. The install locations can be adjusted by passing a --prefix argument to configure. Various other options are also supported, pass --help for more information on them.

When complete, make install will place several programs into /usr/local/bin: rustc, the Rust compiler; rustdoc, the API-documentation tool, and cargo, the Rust package manager.
