This implements #5158. Currently it takes the command line args and the crate map. Since it doesn't take a `main` function pointer, you can't actually start the runtime easily, but that seems to be a shim to allow the current `rust_start` function to call into main.
However, you can do an end-run round the io library and do this:
```rust
use core::libc::{write, c_int, c_void, size_t, STDOUT_FILENO};
#[start]
fn my_start(_argc:int, _argv: **u8, _crate_map: *u8) -> int {
do str::as_buf("Hello World!\n") |s,len| {
unsafe {
write(STDOUT_FILENO, s as *c_void, len as size_t);
}
}
return 0;
}
```
Which is the most basic "Hello World" you can do in rust without starting up the runtime (though that has quite a lot to do with the fact that `core::io` uses `@` everywhere...)
Allow a deriving instance using the generic code to short-circuit for
any non-matching enum variants (grouping them all into a _ match),
reducing the number of arms required. Use this to speed up the Eq &
TotalEq implementations.
Pulls out many of the common patterns from the Eq and Clone deriving code (and
invents a few of its own), so that deriving instances are very easy to write
for a certain class of traits. (Basically, those which don't have parameters
and where all methods only take arguments of type `&Self` and return either
`Self` or types with no parameters.)
The code samples are xfail'ed because the buildbot won't have `libsnappy.so` and I don't want to add boilerplate to all the snippets (but they're directly from my snappy bindings so I'll just send a pull request whenever they break). It works really well as an example because it's tiny library and lets the caller manage all the buffers.
I think everything stated in the `Interoperability with foreign code` section is accurate but it deserves a thorough double-check :).
The example with OpenSSL is incorrect, because OpenSSL is using a
static variable for the return value and isn't thread-safe.
The gettimeofday example isn't great because it's not very portable.
This is preliminary work on bringing rustpkg up to conformance with #5679
and related issues.
This change makes rustpkg infer a package ID from its containing directory,
instead of requiring name and vers attributes in the code. Many aspects of it
are incomplete; I've only tested one package (see README.txt) and one command,
"build". So far it only works for local packages.
I also removed code for several of the package commands other than "build",
replacing them with stubs that fail, since they used package IDs in ways that
didn't jibe well with the new scheme. I will re-implement the commands one
at a time.
This adds an example for most of the methods in Rng.
As a total newcomer to Rust, it took a while to figure out how to do basic things like use library functions, because there aren't many usage examples, and most examples that Google turns up are out of date. Something like this would have saved me a bit of time.
This might be a bit verbose. Some alternative options would be to consolidate all the examples into one section, or to only have code for the specific function call inline.
Good morning,
This first patch series adds support for `#[deriving(Decodable, Encodable)]`, but does not yet remove `#[auto_encode]` and `#[auto_decode]`. I need a snapshot to remove the old code. Along the way it also extends support for tuple structs and struct enum variants.
Also, it includes a minor fix to the pretty printer. We decided a while ago to use 4 spaces to indent a match arm instead of 2. This updates the pretty printer to reflect that.
