bors 1942a7a3fb auto merge of #8053 : gavinb/rust/uuid_std, r=alexcrichton Addresses part of #7104 This module adds the ability to generate UUIDs (on all Rust-supported platforms). I reviewed the existing UUID support in libraries for a range of languages; Go, D, C#, Java and Boost++. The features were all very similar, and this patch essentially covers the union. The implmentation is quite straightforward, and uses the underlying rng support which is assumed to be sufficiently strong for this purpose. This patch is not complete, however I have put this up for review to gather feedback before finalising. It has tests for most features and documentation for most functions. Outstanding issues: * Only generates V4 (Random) UUIDs. Do we want to support the SHA-1 hash based flavour as well? * Is it worth having the field-based struct public as well as the byte array? * Formatting the string with '-' between groups not done yet. * Parsing full string not done as there appears to be no regexp support yet. I can write a simple manual parser for now? * D has a generator as well. This would be easy to add. However, given the simple interface for creating a new one, and the presence of the macro, is this useful? * Is it worth having a separate UUID trait and specific implementation? Or should it just have a struct+impl with the same name? Currently it feels weird to have the trait (which can't be named UUID so as to conflict) a separate thing. * Should the macro be visible at the top level scope? As this is a first attempt, some code may not be idiomatic. Please comment below... Thanks for all feedback!		2013-08-17 05:12:03 -07:00

The Rust Programming Language

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

Quick Start

Windows

Download and use the installer.
Read the tutorial.
Enjoy!

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 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 rustpkg, 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.
