bors 880fb89bde Auto merge of #22512 - nikomatsakis:issue-20300-where-clause-not-bounds, r=nikomatsakis This is a fix for #20300 though as a side-sweep it fixes a number of stack overflows because it integrates cycle detection into the conversion process. I didn't go through and retest everything. The tricky part here is that in some cases we have to go find the information we need from the AST -- we can't use the converted form of the where-clauses because we often have to handle something like `T::Item` while converting the where-clauses themselves. Since this is also not a fixed-point process we can't just try and keep trying to find the best order. So instead I modified the `AstConv` interface to allow you to request the bounds for a type parameter; we'll then do a secondary scan of the where-clauses to figure out what we need. This may create a cycle in some cases, but we have code to catch that. Another approach that is NOT taken by this PR would be to "convert" `T::Item` into a form that does not specify what trait it's using. This then kind of defers the problem of picking the trait till later. That might be a good idea, but it would make normalization and everything else much harder, so I'm holding off on that (and hoping to find a better way for handling things like `i32::T`). This PR also removes "most of" the `bounds` struct from `TypeParameterDef`. Still a little ways to go before `ParamBounds` can be removed entirely -- it's used for supertraits, for example (though those really ought to be converted, I think, to a call to `get_type_parameter_bounds` on `Self` from within the trait definition). cc @jroesch Fixes #20300		2015-02-25 04:28:23 +00:00

The Rust Programming Language

This is a compiler for Rust, including standard libraries, tools and documentation. Rust is a systems programming language that is fast, memory safe and multithreaded, but does not employ a garbage collector or otherwise impose significant runtime overhead.

Quick Start

Read "Installing Rust" from The Book.

Building from Source

Make sure you have installed the dependencies:
- g++ 4.7 or clang++ 3.x
- python 2.6 or later (but not 3.x)
- GNU make 3.81 or later
- curl
- git

Clone the source with git:

$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.git
$ cd rust

Build and install:
```
$ ./configure
$ make && make install
```
Note: 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, and rustdoc, the API-documentation tool. This install does not include Cargo, Rust's package manager, which you may also want to build.

Building on Windows

MSYS2 can be used to easily build Rust on Windows:

Grab the latest MSYS2 installer and go through the installer.

From the MSYS2 terminal, install the mingw64 toolchain and other required tools.

# Choose one based on platform:
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

$ pacman -S base-devel

Run mingw32_shell.bat or mingw64_shell.bat from wherever you installed MYSY2 (i.e. C:\msys), depending on whether you want 32-bit or 64-bit Rust.
Navigate to Rust's source code, configure and build it:
```
$ ./configure
$ make && make install
```

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, 8, Server 2008 R2), x86 and x86-64 (64-bit support added in Rust 0.12.0)
Linux (2.6.18 or later, various distributions), x86 and x86-64
OSX 10.7 (Lion) or greater, x86 and x86-64

You may find that other platforms work, but these are our officially supported build environments that are most likely to work.

Rust currently needs about 1.5 GiB of RAM to build without swapping; if it hits swap, it will take a very long time to build.

There is more advice about hacking on Rust in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Getting Help

The Rust community congregates in a few places:

Stack Overflow - Direct questions about using the language.
users.rust-lang.org - General discussion and broader questions.
/r/rust - News and general discussion.

Contributing

To contribute to Rust, please see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Rust has an IRC culture and most real-time collaboration happens in a variety of channels on Mozilla's IRC network, irc.mozilla.org. The most popular channel is #rust, a venue for general discussion about Rust, and a good place to ask for help.

Rust is primarily distributed under the terms of both the MIT license and the Apache License (Version 2.0), with portions covered by various BSD-like licenses.
