(This is a second try at #26242. This time I think things should be ok.) The current algorithm handling import resolutions works sequentially, handling imports in the order they appear in the source file, and blocking/bailing on the first one generating an error/being unresolved. This can lead to situations where the order of the `use` statements can make the difference between "this code compiles" and "this code fails on an unresolved import" (see #18083 for example). This is especially true when considering glob imports. This PR changes the behaviour of the algorithm to instead try to resolve all imports in a module. If one fails, it is recorded and the next one is tried (instead of directly giving up). Also, all errors generated are stored (and not reported directly). The main loop of the algorithms guaranties that the algorithm will always finish: if a round of resolution does not resolve anything new, we are stuck and give up. At this point, the new version of the algorithm will display all errors generated by the last round of resolve. This way we are sure to not silence relevant errors or help messages, but also to not give up too early. **As a consequence, the import resolution becomes independent of the order in which the `use` statements are written in the source files.** I personally don't see any situations where this could be a problem, but this might need some thought. I passed `rpass` and `cfail` tests on my computer, and now am compiling a full stage2 compiler to ensure the crates reporting errors in my previous attempts still build correctly. I guess once I have checked it, this will need a crater run? Fixes #18083. r? @alexcrichton , cc @nrc @brson |

The Rust Programming Language
Rust is a fast systems programming language that guarantees memory safety and offers painless concurrency (no data races). It does not employ a garbage collector and has minimal runtime overhead.
This repo contains the code for the compiler (rustc), as well
as standard libraries, tools and documentation for Rust.
Quick Start
Read "Installing Rust" from The Book.
Building from Source
-
Make sure you have installed the dependencies:
g++4.7 orclang++3.xpython2.6 or later (but not 3.x)- GNU
make3.81 or later curlgit
-
Clone the source with
git:$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.git $ cd rust
-
Build and install:
$ ./configure $ make && make installNote: You may need to use
sudo make installif you do not normally have permission to modify the destination directory. The install locations can be adjusted by passing a--prefixargument toconfigure. Various other options are also supported – pass--helpfor more information on them.When complete,
make installwill place several programs into/usr/local/bin:rustc, the Rust compiler, andrustdoc, the API-documentation tool. This install does not include Cargo, Rust's package manager, which you may also want to build.
Building on Windows
MSYS2 can be used to easily build Rust on Windows:
-
Grab the latest MSYS2 installer and go through the installer.
-
From the MSYS2 terminal, install the
mingw64toolchain and other required tools.# Choose one based on platform: $ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain $ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain $ pacman -S base-devel -
Run
mingw32_shell.batormingw64_shell.batfrom wherever you installed MSYS2 (i.e.C:\msys), depending on whether you want 32-bit or 64-bit Rust. -
Navigate to Rust's source code, configure and build it:
$ ./configure $ make && make install
Notes
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:
| Platform \ Architecture | x86 | x86_64 |
|---|---|---|
| Windows (7, 8, Server 2008 R2) | ✓ | ✓ |
| Linux (2.6.18 or later) | ✓ | ✓ |
| OSX (10.7 Lion or later) | ✓ | ✓ |
You may find that other platforms work, but these are our officially supported build environments that are most likely to work.
Rust currently needs about 1.5 GiB of RAM to build without swapping; if it hits swap, it will take a very long time to build.
There is more advice about hacking on Rust in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Getting Help
The Rust community congregates in a few places:
- Stack Overflow - Direct questions about using the language.
- users.rust-lang.org - General discussion and broader questions.
- /r/rust - News and general discussion.
Contributing
To contribute to Rust, please see CONTRIBUTING.
Rust has an IRC culture and most real-time collaboration happens in a variety of channels on Mozilla's IRC network, irc.mozilla.org. The most popular channel is #rust, a venue for general discussion about Rust, and a good place to ask for help.
