There are two interesting kinds of breakage illustrated here: 1. `Box<Trait>` in many contexts is treated as `Box<Trait + 'static>`, due to [RFC 599]. However, in a type like `&'a Box<Trait>`, the `Box<Trait>` type will be expanded to `Box<Trait + 'a>`, again due to [RFC 599]. This, combined with the fix to Issue 25199, leads to a borrowck problem due the combination of this function signature (in src/libstd/net/parser.rs): ```rust fn read_or<T>(&mut self, parsers: &mut [Box<FnMut(&mut Parser) -> Option<T>>]) -> Option<T>; ``` with this call site (again in src/libstd/net/parser.rs): ```rust fn read_ip_addr(&mut self) -> Option<IpAddr> { let ipv4_addr = |p: &mut Parser| p.read_ipv4_addr().map(|v4| IpAddr::V4(v4)); let ipv6_addr = |p: &mut Parser| p.read_ipv6_addr().map(|v6| IpAddr::V6(v6)); self.read_or(&mut [Box::new(ipv4_addr), Box::new(ipv6_addr)]) } ``` yielding borrowck errors like: ``` parser.rs:265:27: 265:69 error: borrowed value does not live long enough parser.rs:265 self.read_or(&mut [Box::new(ipv4_addr), Box::new(ipv6_addr)]) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ``` (full log at: https://gist.github.com/pnkfelix/e2e80f1a71580f5d3103 ) The issue here is perhaps subtle: the `parsers` argument is inferred to be taking a slice of boxed objects with the implicit lifetime bound attached to the `self` parameter to `read_or`. Meanwhile, the fix to Issue 25199 (added in a forth-coming commit) is forcing us to assume that each boxed object may have a destructor that could refer to state of that lifetime, and *therefore* that inferred lifetime is required to outlive the boxed object itself. In this case, the relevant boxed object here is not going to make any such references; I believe it is just an artifact of how the expression was built that it is not assigned type: `Box<FnMut(&mut Parser) -> Option<T> + 'static>`. (i.e., mucking with the expression is probably one way to fix this problem). But the other way to fix it, adopted here, is to change the `read_or` method type to force make the (presumably-intended) `'static` bound explicit on the boxed `FnMut` object. (Note: this is still just the *first* example of breakage.) 2. In `macro_rules.rs`, the `TTMacroExpander` trait defines a method with signature: ```rust fn expand<'cx>(&self, cx: &'cx mut ExtCtxt, ...) -> Box<MacResult+'cx>; ``` taking a `&'cx mut ExtCtxt` as an argument and returning a `Box<MacResult'cx>`. The fix to Issue 25199 (added in aforementioned forth-coming commit) assumes that a value of type `Box<MacResult+'cx>` may, in its destructor, refer to a reference of lifetime `'cx`; thus the `'cx` lifetime is forced to outlive the returned value. Meanwhile, within `expand.rs`, the old code was doing: ```rust match expander.expand(fld.cx, ...).make_pat() { ... => immutable borrow of fld.cx ... } ``` The problem is that the `'cx` lifetime, inferred for the `expander.expand` call, has now been extended so that it has to outlive the temporary R-value returned by `expanded.expand`. But call is also reborrowing `fld.cx` *mutably*, which means that this reborrow must end before any immutable borrow of `fld.cx`; but there is one of those within the match body. (Note that the temporary R-values for the input expression to `match` all live as long as the whole `match` expression itself (see Issue #3511 and PR #11585). To address this, I moved the construction of the pat value into its own `let`-statement, so that the `Box<MacResult>` will only live for as long as the initializing expression for the `let`-statement, and thus allow the subsequent immutable borrow within the `match`.

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 orclang++
3.xpython
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 toconfigure
. 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, andrustdoc
, 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
ormingw64_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.
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.
