Marvin Löbel a612e49a21 Converted the floating point types to the new string conversion functions.
Also fixed all conflicting calls of the old functions in the rest of the codebase.

The set of string conversion functions for each float type now consists of those items:
- to_str(), converts to number in base 10
- to_str_hex(), converts to number in base 16
- to_str_radix(), converts to number in given radix
- to_str_exact(), converts to number in base 10 with a exact number of trailing digits
- to_str_digits(), converts to number in base 10 with a maximum number of trailing digits
- implementations for to_str::ToStr and num::ToStrRadix
- from_str(), parses a string as number in base 10 including decimal exponent and special values
- from_str_hex(), parses a string as a number in base 16 including binary exponent and special values
- from_str_radix(), parses a string as a number in a given base excluding any exponent and special values
- implementations for from_str::FromStr and num::FromStrRadix

The Rust Programming Language

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

Installation

The Rust compiler currently must be built from a tarball, unless you are on Windows, in which case using the installer is recommended.

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.

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.

To build from source you will also need the following prerequisite packages:

  • 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

Assuming you're on a relatively modern *nix system and have met the prerequisites, something along these lines should work.

$ curl -O http://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-0.5.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf rust-0.5.tar.gz
$ cd rust-0.5
$ ./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 cargo, the Rust package manager.
