Here are fixes for more problems mentioned in #8787. I think I've addressed everything mentioned there except for @nikomatsakis's comment about match/patterns now. (This also fixes the bug in struct alignment that @pnkfelix mentioned from my earlier pull request #8872.) The biggest change here is to make fill-paragraph (M-q) and auto-fill-mode work inside different variations of multi-line and doc comments. Because of the way emacs paragraph fills work (callbacks interacting with global regexp variables that are used in odd ways) there were quite a few edge cases that I had to work around. The only way I was able to keep it all straight was to create some regression tests. They use the emacs lisp regression testing tool ERT, and are included as the last commit here. I added a few tests for indentation as well. I have not attempted to integrate the tests into the overall rust compiler build process, since I can't imagine anyone would want the compiler build to have a dependency on emacs. Maybe at some point tools like this get their own repositories? Just a thought. One other thought related to the tests: should there be a place to put these types of style samples that isn't specific to one text editor? Maybe as part of an official rust style guide, but in a form that would allow tools like this to pull out the samples and use them for tests? |

The Rust Programming Language
This is a compiler for Rust, including standard libraries, tools and documentation.
Quick Start
Windows
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.
Linux / OS X
-
Install the prerequisites (if not already installed)
- 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
-
Download and build Rust You can either download a tarball or build directly from the repo.
To build from the tarball do:
$ curl -O http://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-0.7.tar.gz $ tar -xzf rust-0.7.tar.gz $ cd rust-0.7
Or to build from the repo do:
$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/rust.git $ cd rust
Now that you have Rust's source code, you can configure and build it:
$ ./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 toconfigure
. 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, andrustpkg
, the Rust package manager and build system. -
Read the tutorial.

Enjoy!
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:
- 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.
Rust currently needs about 1.8G of RAM to build without swapping; if it hits swap, it will take a very long time to build.
There is lots more documentation in the wiki.
