Lazy loading with autoload will result in faster startup time for Emacs users and is generally the recommended approach for major modes. |

rust-mode
: A major Emacs mode for editing Rust source code
rust-mode
makes editing Rust code with Emacs
enjoyable.
Manual Installation
To install manually, check out this repository and add this to your
.emacs
file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/rust-mode/")
(autoload 'rust-mode "rust-mode" nil t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.rs\\'" . rust-mode))
This associates rust-mode
with .rs
files. To enable it explicitly, do
M-x rust-mode.
package.el
installation via Marmalade or MELPA
It can be more convenient to use Emacs's package manager to handle
installation for you if you use many elisp libraries. If you have
package.el
but haven't added Marmalade or MELPA, the community
package source, yet, add this to ~/.emacs.d/init.el
:
Using Marmalade:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
Using MELPA:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
Then do this to load the package listing:
- M-x eval-buffer
- M-x package-refresh-contents
If you use a version of Emacs prior to 24 that doesn't include
package.el
, you can get it from here.
If you have an older ELPA package.el
installed from tromey.com, you
should upgrade in order to support installation from multiple sources.
The ELPA archive is deprecated and no longer accepting new packages,
so the version there (1.7.1) is very outdated.
Install rust-mode
One you have package.el
, you can install rust-mode
or any other
modes by choosing them from a list:
- M-x package-list-packages
Now, to install packages, move your cursor to them and press
i. This will mark the packages for installation. When
you're done with marking, press x, and ELPA will install
the packages for you (under ~/.emacs.d/elpa/
).
- or using M-x package-install rust-mode
Tests via ERT
The file rust-mode-tests.el
contains tests that can be run via
ERT.
You can use run_rust_emacs_tests.sh
to run them in batch mode, if
Emacs is somewhere in your $PATH
.
