This commit applies stability attributes to the contents of these modules,
summarized here:
* The `unit` and `bool` modules have become #[unstable] as they are purely meant
for documentation purposes and are candidates for removal.
* The `ty` module has been deprecated, and the inner `Unsafe` type has been
renamed to `UnsafeCell` and moved to the `cell` module. The `marker1` field
has been removed as the compiler now always infers `UnsafeCell` to be
invariant. The `new` method i stable, but the `value` field, `get` and
`unwrap` methods are all unstable.
* The `tuple` module has its name as stable, the naming of the `TupleN` traits
as stable while the methods are all #[unstable]. The other impls in the module
have appropriate stability for the corresponding trait.
* The `arc` module has received the exact same treatment as the `rc` module
previously did.
* The `any` module has its name as stable. The `Any` trait is also stable, with
a new private supertrait which now contains the `get_type_id` method. This is
to make the method a private implementation detail rather than a public-facing
detail.
The two extension traits in the module are marked #[unstable] as they will not
be necessary with DST. The `is` method is #[stable], the as_{mut,ref} methods
have been renamed to downcast_{mut,ref} and are #[unstable].
The extension trait `BoxAny` has been clarified as to why it is unstable as it
will not be necessary with DST.
This is a breaking change because the `marker1` field was removed from the
`UnsafeCell` type. To deal with this change, you can simply delete the field and
only specify the value of the `data` field in static initializers.

The Rust Programming Language
This is a compiler for Rust, including standard libraries, tools and documentation.
Quick Start
- Download a binary installer for your platform.
- Read the tutorial.
- Enjoy!
Note: Windows users can read the detailed getting started notes on the wiki.
Building from Source
-
Make sure you have installed the dependencies:
g++4.7 orclang++3.xpython2.6 or later (but not 3.x)perl5.0 or later- GNU
make3.81 or later curlgit
-
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-nightly.tar.gz $ tar -xzf rust-nightly.tar.gz $ cd rust-nightlyOr to build from the repo do:
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.git $ cd rustNow that you have Rust's source code, you can configure and build it:
$ ./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. -
Read the tutorial.
-
Enjoy!
Building on Windows
To easily build on windows we can use MSYS2:
-
Grab the latest MSYS2 installer and go through the installer.
-
Now from the MSYS2 terminal we want to install the mingw64 toolchain and the other tools we need.
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain $ pacman -S base-devel -
With that now start
mingw32_shell.batfrom where you installed MSYS2 (i.e.C:\msys). -
From there just navigate to where you have Rust's source code, configure and build it:
$ ./configure --build=i686-pc-mingw32 $ 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:
- Windows (7, 8, Server 2008 R2), x86 only
- Linux (2.6.18 or later, various distributions), x86 and x86-64
- OSX 10.7 (Lion) or greater, x86 and x86-64
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 a lot more documentation in the wiki.
