Niko Matsakis 29003c799f Rename the poorly named Managed<T> type to Mut<T>. 
The Mut<T> type is intended to allow freezable data stuctures to be stored in
`@mut` boxes. Currently this causes borrowck to be very conserivative since it
cannot prove that you are not modifying such a structure while iterating over
it, for example.  But if you do `@Mut<T>` instead of `@mut T`, you will
effectively convert borrowck's static checks into dynamic ones.  This lets
you use the e.g. send_map just like a Java Map or something else.

The Rust Programming Language

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

Installation

The Rust compiler is slightly unusual in that it is written in Rust and therefore must be built by a precompiled "snapshot" version of itself (made in an earlier state of development). As such, source builds require that:

  • You are connected to the internet, to fetch snapshots.

  • You can at least execute snapshot binaries of one of the forms we offer them in. Currently we build and test snapshots on:

    • Windows (7, server 2008 r2) x86 only
    • Linux 2.6.x (various distributions) x86 and x86-64
    • OSX 10.6 ("Snow leopard") or 10.7 ("Lion") x86 and x86-64

You may find other platforms work, but these are our "tier 1" supported build environments that are most likely to work. Further platforms will be added to the list in the future via cross-compilation.

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

  • g++ 4.4 or clang++ 3.x
  • python 2.6 or later
  • perl 5.0 or later
  • gnu make 3.81 or later
  • curl

Assuming you're on a relatively modern Linux/OSX system and have met the prerequisites, something along these lines should work:

$ tar -xzf rust-0.3.tar.gz
$ cd rust-0.3
$ ./configure
$ make && make install

When complete, make install will place the following programs into /usr/local/bin:

  • rustc, the Rust compiler
  • rustdoc, the API-documentation tool
  • cargo, the Rust package manager

In addition to a manual page under /usr/local/share/man and a set of host and target libraries under /usr/local/lib/rustc.

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.
