Alex Crichton 854d95f9ff syntax: Add a macro, format_args_method!() 
Currently, the format_args!() macro takes as its first argument an expression
which is the callee of an ExprCall. This means that if format_args!() is used
with calling a method a closure must be used. Consider this code, however:

    format_args!(|args| { foo.writer.write_fmt(args) }, "{}", foo.field)

The closure borrows the entire `foo` structure, disallowing the later borrow of
`foo.field`. To preserve the semantics of the `write!` macro, it is also
impossible to borrow specifically the `writer` field of the `foo` structure
because it must be borrowed mutably, but the `foo` structure is not guaranteed
to be mutable itself.

This new macro is invoked like:

    format_args_method!(foo.writer, write_fmt, "{}", foo.field)

This macro will generate an ExprMethodCall which allows the borrow checker to
understand that `writer` and `field` should be borrowed separately.

This macro is not strictly necessary, with DST or possibly UFCS other
workarounds could be used. For now, though, it looks like this is required to
implement the `write!` macro.

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++ 4.7 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

  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.
