Rewriting visit.rs to operate on a borrowed `&mut V` where `<V:Visitor>` r? @nikomatsakis r? @pcwalton This is the first in a planned series of incremental pull requests. (There will probably be five pull requests including this one, though they can be combined or split as necessary.) Part of #7081. (But definitely does *not* complete it, not on its own, and not even after all five parts land; there are still a few loose ends to tie up or trim afterwards.) The bulk of this change for this particular PR is pnkfelix@3d83010, which has the changes necessary to visit.rs to support everything else that comes later. The other commits are illustrating the standard mechanical transformation that I am applying. One important point for nearly *all* of these pull requests: I was deliberately *not* trying to be intelligent in the transformation. * My goal was to minimize code churn, and make the transformation as mechanical as possible. * For example, I kept the separation between the Visitor struct (corresponding to the earlier vtable of functions that were potentially closed over local state) and the explicitly passed (and clones) visitor Env. I am certain that this is almost always unnecessary, and a later task will be to go through an meld the Env's into the Visitors as appropriate. (My original goal had been to make such melding part of this task; that's why I turned them into a (Env, vtable) tuple way back when. But I digress.) * Also, my main goal here was to get rid of the record of `@fn`'s as described by the oldvisit.rs API. (This series gets rid of all but one such case; I'm still investigating that.) There is *still* plenty of `@`-boxing left to be removed, I'm sure, and even still some `@fn`'s too; removing all of those is not the goal here; its just to get rid of the encoded protocol of `@fn`'s in the (old)visit API. To see where things will be going in the future (i.e., to get a sneak-preview of future pull-requests in the series), see: * https://github.com/pnkfelix/rust/commits/fsk-visitor-vpar-defaults-step1 (that's this one) * https://github.com/pnkfelix/rust/commits/fsk-visitor-vpar-defaults-step2 * https://github.com/pnkfelix/rust/commits/fsk-visitor-vpar-defaults-step3 * https://github.com/pnkfelix/rust/commits/fsk-visitor-vpar-defaults-step4 * https://github.com/pnkfelix/rust/commits/fsk-visitor-vpar-defaults-step5 * Note that between step 4 and step 5 there is just a single commit, but its a doozy because its the only case where my mechanical transformation did not apply, and thus more serious rewriting was necessary.

The Rust Programming Language
This is a compiler for Rust, including standard libraries, tools and documentation.
Quick Start
Windows
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.
Linux / OS X
-
Install the prerequisites (if not already installed)
- 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
-
Download and build Rust You can either download a tarball or build directly from the repo.
To build from the tarball do:
$ curl -O http://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-0.7.tar.gz $ tar -xzf rust-0.7.tar.gz $ cd rust-0.7Or to build from the repo do:
$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/rust.git $ cd rustNow that you have Rust's source code, you can configure and build it:
$ ./configure $ make && make installYou may need to use
sudo make installif you do not normally have permission to modify the destination directory. The install locations can be adjusted by passing a--prefixargument toconfigure. Various other options are also supported, pass--helpfor more information on them.When complete,
make installwill place several programs into/usr/local/bin:rustc, the Rust compiler;rustdoc, the API-documentation tool, andrustpkg, the Rust package manager and build system. -
Read the tutorial.

Enjoy!
Notes
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.
Rust currently needs about 1.8G of RAM to build without swapping; if it hits swap, it will take a very long time to build.
There is lots more documentation in the wiki.
