blake2-ppc 40ce0b7d76 deque: Speed up deque growth by a lot
Fix some issues with the deque being very slow, keep the same vec around
instead of constructing a new. Move as few elements as possible, so the
self.lo point is not moved after grow.

   [o o o o o|o o o]
       hi...^ ^.... lo

   grows to

   [. . . . .|o o o o o o o o|. . .]
              ^.. lo        ^.. hi

If the deque is append-only, it will result in moving no elements on
grow. If the deque is prepend-only, all will be moved each time.

The bench tests added show big improvements:

Timed using `rust build -O --test extra.rs && ./extra --bench deque`

Old version:

test deque::tests::bench_add_back ... bench: 4976 ns/iter (+/- 9)
test deque::tests::bench_add_front ... bench: 4108 ns/iter (+/- 18)
test deque::tests::bench_grow ... bench: 416964 ns/iter (+/- 4197)
test deque::tests::bench_new ... bench: 408 ns/iter (+/- 12)

With this commit:

test deque::tests::bench_add_back ... bench: 12 ns/iter (+/- 0)
test deque::tests::bench_add_front ... bench: 16 ns/iter (+/- 0)
test deque::tests::bench_grow ... bench: 1515 ns/iter (+/- 30)
test deque::tests::bench_new ... bench: 419 ns/iter (+/- 3)

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-0.7.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf rust-0.7.tar.gz
$ cd rust-0.7
$ ./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 rustpkg, the Rust package manager and build system.
