[NLL] Dangly paths for box Special-case `Box` in `rustc_mir::borrow_check`. Since we know dropping a box will not access any `&mut` or `&` references, it is safe to model its destructor as only touching the contents *owned* by the box. ---- There are three main things going on here: 1. The first main thing, this PR is fixing a bug in NLL where `rustc` previously would issue a diagnostic error in a case like this: ```rust fn foo(x: Box<&mut i32>) -> &mut i32 { &mut **x } ``` such code was accepted by the AST-borrowck in the past, but NLL was rejecting it with the following message ([playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?gist=13c5560f73bfb16d6dab3ceaad44c0f8&version=nightly&mode=release&edition=2015)) ``` error[E0597]: `**x` does not live long enough --> src/main.rs:3:40 | 3 | fn foo(x: Box<&mut i32>) -> &mut i32 { &mut **x } | ^^^^^^^^ - `**x` dropped here while still borrowed | | | borrowed value does not live long enough | note: borrowed value must be valid for the anonymous lifetime #1 defined on the function body at 3:1... --> src/main.rs:3:1 | 3 | fn foo(x: Box<&mut i32>) -> &mut i32 { &mut **x } | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ error: aborting due to previous error ``` 2. The second main thing: The reason such code was previously rejected was because NLL (MIR-borrowck) incorporates a fix for issue #31567, where it models a destructor's execution as potentially accessing any borrows held by the thing being destructed. The tests with `Scribble` model this, showing that the compiler now catches such unsoundness. However, that fix for issue #31567 is too strong, in that NLL (MIR-borrowck) includes `Box` as one of the types with a destructor that potentially accesses any borrows held by the box. This thus was the cause of the main remaining discrepancy between AST-borrowck and MIR-borrowck, as documented in issue #45696, specifically in [the last example of this comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/45696#issuecomment-345367873), which I have adapted into the `fn foo` shown above. We did close issue #45696 back in December of 2017, but AFAICT that example was not fixed by PR #46268. (And we did not include a test, etc etc.) This PR fixes that case, by trying to model the so-called `DerefPure` semantics of `Box<T>` when we traverse the type of the input to `visit_terminator_drop`. 3. The third main thing is that during a review of the first draft of this PR, @matthewjasper pointed out that the new traversal of `Box<T>` could cause the compiler to infinite loop. I have adjusted the PR to avoid this (by tracking what types we have previously seen), and added a much needed test of this somewhat odd scenario. (Its an odd scenario because the particular case only arises for things like `struct A(Box<A>);`, something which cannot be constructed in practice.) Fix #45696. |

The Rust Programming Language
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Quick Start
Read "Installation" from The Book.
Building from Source
Building on *nix
-
Make sure you have installed the dependencies:
g++
4.7 or later orclang++
3.x or laterpython
2.7 (but not 3.x)- GNU
make
3.81 or later cmake
3.4.3 or latercurl
git
-
Clone the source with
git
:$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.git $ cd rust
-
Build and install:
$ git submodule update --init --recursive --progress $ ./x.py build && sudo ./x.py install
Note: Install locations can be adjusted by copying the config file from
./config.toml.example
to./config.toml
, and adjusting theprefix
option under[install]
. Various other options, such as enabling debug information, are also supported, and are documented in the config file.When complete,
sudo ./x.py install
will place several programs into/usr/local/bin
:rustc
, the Rust compiler, andrustdoc
, the API-documentation tool. This install does not include Cargo, Rust's package manager, which you may also want to build.
Building on Windows
There are two prominent ABIs in use on Windows: the native (MSVC) ABI used by Visual Studio, and the GNU ABI used by the GCC toolchain. Which version of Rust you need depends largely on what C/C++ libraries you want to interoperate with: for interop with software produced by Visual Studio use the MSVC build of Rust; for interop with GNU software built using the MinGW/MSYS2 toolchain use the GNU build.
MinGW
MSYS2 can be used to easily build Rust on Windows:
-
Grab the latest MSYS2 installer and go through the installer.
-
Run
mingw32_shell.bat
ormingw64_shell.bat
from wherever you installed MSYS2 (i.e.C:\msys64
), depending on whether you want 32-bit or 64-bit Rust. (As of the latest version of MSYS2 you have to runmsys2_shell.cmd -mingw32
ormsys2_shell.cmd -mingw64
from the command line instead) -
From this terminal, install the required tools:
# Update package mirrors (may be needed if you have a fresh install of MSYS2) $ pacman -Sy pacman-mirrors # Install build tools needed for Rust. If you're building a 32-bit compiler, # then replace "x86_64" below with "i686". If you've already got git, python, # or CMake installed and in PATH you can remove them from this list. Note # that it is important that you do **not** use the 'python2' and 'cmake' # packages from the 'msys2' subsystem. The build has historically been known # to fail with these packages. $ pacman -S git \ make \ diffutils \ tar \ mingw-w64-x86_64-python2 \ mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake \ mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
-
Navigate to Rust's source code (or clone it), then build it:
$ ./x.py build && ./x.py install
MSVC
MSVC builds of Rust additionally require an installation of Visual Studio 2013
(or later) so rustc
can use its linker. Make sure to check the “C++ tools”
option.
With these dependencies installed, you can build the compiler in a cmd.exe
shell with:
> python x.py build
Currently, building Rust only works with some known versions of Visual Studio. If you have a more recent version installed the build system doesn't understand then you may need to force rustbuild to use an older version. This can be done by manually calling the appropriate vcvars file before running the bootstrap.
CALL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64\vcvars64.bat"
python x.py build
Specifying an ABI
Each specific ABI can also be used from either environment (for example, using the GNU ABI in PowerShell) by using an explicit build triple. The available Windows build triples are:
- GNU ABI (using GCC)
i686-pc-windows-gnu
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
- The MSVC ABI
i686-pc-windows-msvc
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
The build triple can be specified by either specifying --build=<triple>
when
invoking x.py
commands, or by copying the config.toml
file (as described
in Building From Source), and modifying the build
option under the [build]
section.
Configure and Make
While it's not the recommended build system, this project also provides a
configure script and makefile (the latter of which just invokes x.py
).
$ ./configure
$ make && sudo make install
When using the configure script, the generated config.mk
file may override the
config.toml
file. To go back to the config.toml
file, delete the generated
config.mk
file.
Building Documentation
If you’d like to build the documentation, it’s almost the same:
$ ./x.py doc
The generated documentation will appear under doc
in the build
directory for
the ABI used. I.e., if the ABI was x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
, the directory will be
build\x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\doc
.
Notes
Since the Rust compiler is written in Rust, it must be built by a precompiled "snapshot" version of itself (made in an earlier stage 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:
Platform / Architecture | x86 | x86_64 |
---|---|---|
Windows (7, 8, Server 2008 R2) | ✓ | ✓ |
Linux (2.6.18 or later) | ✓ | ✓ |
OSX (10.7 Lion or later) | ✓ | ✓ |
You may find that other platforms work, but these are our officially supported build environments that are most likely to work.
Rust currently needs between 600MiB and 1.5GiB of RAM to build, depending on platform. If it hits swap, it will take a very long time to build.
There is more advice about hacking on Rust in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Getting Help
The Rust community congregates in a few places:
- Stack Overflow - Direct questions about using the language.
- users.rust-lang.org - General discussion and broader questions.
- /r/rust - News and general discussion.
Contributing
To contribute to Rust, please see CONTRIBUTING.
Rust has an IRC culture and most real-time collaboration happens in a variety of channels on Mozilla's IRC network, irc.mozilla.org. The most popular channel is #rust, a venue for general discussion about Rust. And a good place to ask for help would be #rust-beginners.
The rustc guide might be a good place to start if you want to find out how various parts of the compiler work.
Also, you may find the rustdocs for the compiler itself useful.
