Alex Crichton 30ff17f809 Upgrade LLVM
This comes with a number of fixes to be compatible with upstream LLVM:

* Previously all monomorphizations of "mem::size_of()" would receive the same
  symbol. In the past LLVM would silently rename duplicated symbols, but it
  appears to now be dropping the duplicate symbols and functions now. The symbol
  names of monomorphized functions are now no longer solely based on the type of
  the function, but rather the type and the unique hash for the
  monomorphization.

* Split stacks are no longer a global feature controlled by a flag in LLVM.
  Instead, they are opt-in on a per-function basis through a function attribute.
  The rust #[no_split_stack] attribute will disable this, otherwise all
  functions have #[split_stack] attached to them.

* The compare and swap instruction now takes two atomic orderings, one for the
  successful case and one for the failure case. LLVM internally has an
  implementation of calculating the appropriate failure ordering given a
  particular success ordering (previously only a success ordering was
  specified), and I copied that into the intrinsic translation so the failure
  ordering isn't supplied on a source level for now.

* Minor tweaks to LLVM's API in terms of debuginfo, naming, c++11 conventions,
  etc.

The Rust Programming Language

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

Quick Start

  1. Download a binary installer for your platform.
  2. Read the tutorial.
  3. Enjoy!

Note: Windows users can read the detailed getting started notes on the wiki.

Building from Source

  1. Make sure you have installed the dependencies:

    • 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
  2. 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-nightly
    

    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
    

    Note: 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, and rustdoc, the API-documentation tool. system.

  3. Read the tutorial.

  4. 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, 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.
