# Rust Analyzer
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer)
|
|
|
|
Rust Analyzer is an **experimental** modular compiler frontend for the Rust
|
|
language, which aims to lay a foundation for excellent IDE support.
|
|
|
|
It doesn't implement much of compiler functionality yet, but the white-space
|
|
preserving Rust parser works, and there are significant chunks of overall
|
|
architecture (indexing, on-demand & lazy computation, snapshotable world view)
|
|
in place. Some basic IDE functionality is provided via a language server.
|
|
|
|
Work on the Rust Analyzer is sponsored by

|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
Rust analyzer builds on Rust >= 1.31.0 and uses the 2018 edition.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# run tests
|
|
$ cargo test
|
|
|
|
# show syntax tree of a Rust file
|
|
$ cargo run --package ra_cli parse < crates/ra_syntax/src/lib.rs
|
|
|
|
# show symbols of a Rust file
|
|
$ cargo run --package ra_cli symbols < crates/ra_syntax/src/lib.rs
|
|
|
|
# install the language server
|
|
$ cargo install --path crates/ra_lsp_server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [these instructions](./editors/README.md) for VS Code setup and the list of
|
|
features (some of which are VS Code specific).
|
|
|
|
## Debugging
|
|
|
|
See [these instructions](./DEBUGGING.md) on how to debug the vscode extension and the lsp server.
|
|
|
|
## Current Status and Plans
|
|
|
|
Rust analyzer aims to fill the same niche as the official [Rust Language
|
|
Server](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rls), but uses a significantly
|
|
different architecture. More details can be found [in this
|
|
thread](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/2019-strategy-for-rustc-and-the-rls/8361),
|
|
but the core issue is that RLS works in the "wait until user stops typing, run
|
|
the build process, save the results of the analysis" mode, which arguably is the
|
|
wrong foundation for IDE.
|
|
|
|
Rust Analyzer is an experimental project at the moment, there's exactly zero
|
|
guarantees that it becomes production-ready one day.
|
|
|
|
The near/mid term plan is to work independently of the main rustc compiler and
|
|
implement at least simplistic versions of name resolution, macro expansion and
|
|
type inference. The purpose is two fold:
|
|
|
|
- to quickly bootstrap usable and useful language server: solution that covers
|
|
80% of Rust code will be useful for IDEs, and will be vastly simpler than 100%
|
|
solution.
|
|
|
|
- to understand how the consumer-side of compiler API should look like
|
|
(especially it's on-demand aspects). If you have `get_expression_type`
|
|
function, you can write a ton of purely-IDE features on top of it, even if the
|
|
function is only partially correct. Pluging in the precise function afterwards
|
|
should just make IDE features more reliable.
|
|
|
|
The long term plan is to merge with the mainline rustc compiler, probably around
|
|
the HIR boundary? That is, use rust analyzer for parsing, macro expansion and
|
|
related bits of name resolution, but leave the rest (including type inference
|
|
and trait selection) to the existing rustc.
