Niko Matsakis 31e46ac0a9 During method resolution, only reborrow if we are not doing an auto-ref. The current behavior leads to adjustments like `&&*` being applied instead of just `&` (when the unmodified receiver is a `&T` or an `&mut T`). This causes both safety errors and unexpected behavior. The safety errors result from regionck not being prepared for auto-ref-ref-like adjustments; this is worth fixing on its own, but I think the best way to do it is to modify regionck to use expr-use-visitor (and fix expr-use-visitor as well, which I don't think properly invokes `borrow` for each level of auto-ref), and for now it's simpler to just not produce the adjustment in question. (I have a separate patch porting regionck to use exprusevisitor for a different bug, so that is coming.)		2014-12-10 19:45:19 -05:00

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 guide.
Enjoy!

Note: Windows users can read the detailed using Rust on Windows notes on the wiki.

Building from Source

Make sure you have installed the dependencies:
- g++ 4.7 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
- git
Download and build Rust:

You can either download a tarball or build directly from the repo.

To build from the tarball do:
```
 $ curl -O https://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/rust-lang/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.
Read the guide.
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.bat from 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
 $ 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 and x86-64 (64-bit support added in Rust 0.12.0)
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.

Getting help and getting involved

The Rust community congregates in a few places:

StackOverflow - Get help here.
/r/rust - General discussion.
discuss.rust-lang.org - For development of the Rust language itself.
