src/comp/syntax is currently just a sub-module of rustc, but it will,
in the near future, be its own crate. This includes:
- The AST data structure
- The parser
- The pretty-printer
- Visit, walk, and fold
- The syntax extension system
- Some utility stuff that should be in the stdlib*
*) Stdlib extensions currently require a snapshot before they can be
used, and the win build is very broken right now. This is temporary
and will be cleaned up when one of those problems goes away.
A lot of code was moved by this patch, mostly towards a more organized
layout. Some package paths did get longer, and I guess the new layout
will take some getting used to. Sorry about that!
Please try not to re-introduce any dependencies in syntax/ on any of
the other src/comp/ subdirs.
Instead of linking directly to the rust crate, try to figure out the location
and name of the library from the file name, then call gcc with appropriate -L,
-l flags. This will allow dynamic linking to be more forgiving about where it
loads the library from at runtime - currently a stage3 compiler can't run
correctly from the stage0 directory. Only tested on Linux. Fingers crossed.
The meta items within a crate's link attribute are used in linkage:
#[link(name = "std",
vers = "1.0",
custom = "whatever")];
Name and vers are treated specially, and everything else is hashed together
into the crate meta hash.
Issue #487
