bors aeab2501d1 auto merge of #15503 : pnkfelix/rust/fsk-linear-deriving-partialord, r=huonw
Instead of generating a separate case (albeit trivial) for each of the N*N cases when comparing two instances of an enum with N variants, this `deriving` uses the strategy outlined here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/15375#issuecomment-47994007

In particular, it generates code that looks more like this:

```rust
    match (this, that, ...) {
      (Variant1, Variant1, Variant1) => ... // delegate Matching on Variant1
      (Variant2, Variant2, Variant2) => ... // delegate Matching on Variant2
      ...
      _ => {
        let index_tup = {
          let idx_this = match this { Variant1 => 0u, Variant2 => 1u, ... };
          let idx_that = match that { Variant1 => 0u, Variant2 => 1u, ... };
          ...
          (idx_this, idx_that, ...)
        };
        ... // delegate to catch-all; it can inspect `index_tup` for its logic
      }
    }
```

While adding a new variant to the `const_nonmatching` flag (and renaming it to `on_nonmatching`) to allow expressing the above (while still allowing one to opt back into the old `O(N^2)` and in general `O(N^K)` (where `K` is the number of self arguments) code generation behavior), I had two realizations:

 1. Observation: Nothing except for the comparison derivings (`PartialOrd`, `Ord`, `PartialEq`, `Eq`) were even using the old `O(N^K)` code generator.  So after this hypothetically lands, *nothing* needs to use them, and thus that code generation strategy could be removed, under the assumption that it is very unlikely that any `deriving` mode will actually need that level of generality.
 2. Observation: The new code generator I am adding can actually be unified with all of the other code generators that just dispatch on the variant tag (they all assume that there is only one self argument).

These two observations mean that one can get rid of the `const_nonmatching` (aka `on_nonmatching`) entirely.  So I did that too in this PR.

The question is: Do we actually want to follow through on both of the above observations?  I'm pretty sure the second observation is a pure win.  But there *might* be someone out there with an example that invalidates the reasoning in the first observation.  That is, there might be a client out there with an example of hypothetical deriving mode that wants to opt into the `O(N^K)` behavior.  So, if that is true, then I can revise this PR to resurrect the `on_nonmatching` flag and provide a way to access the `O(N^K)` behavior.

The manner in which I choose to squash these commits during a post-review rebase depends on the answer to the above question.

The Rust Programming Language

This is a compiler for Rust, including standard libraries, tools and documentation.

Quick Start

  1. Download a binary installer for your platform.
  2. Read the tutorial.
  3. Enjoy!

Note: Windows users can read the detailed getting started notes on the wiki.

Building from Source

  1. Make sure you have installed the dependencies:

    • g++ 4.7 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
    • git
  2. 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-nightly.tar.gz
     $ tar -xzf rust-nightly.tar.gz
     $ cd rust-nightly
    

    Or to build from the repo do:

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

    Now that you have Rust's source code, you can configure and build it:

     $ ./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.

  3. Read the tutorial.

  4. Enjoy!

Building on Windows

To easily build on windows we can use MSYS2:

  1. Grab the latest MSYS2 installer and go through the installer.

  2. Now from the MSYS2 terminal we want to install the mingw64 toolchain and the other tools we need.

     $ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain
     $ pacman -S base-devel
    
  3. With that now start mingw32_shell.bat from where you installed MSYS2 (i.e. C:\msys).

  4. From there just navigate to where you have Rust's source code, configure and build it:

     $ ./configure --build=i686-pc-mingw32
     $ 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 only
  • 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 a lot more documentation in the wiki.
