    <title>Introduction to Rust</title>

    <para>
      The <application>Rust</application> programming language is designed
      to be a safe, concurrent, practical language.
    </para>

    <para>
      This package is updated on a six-weekly release cycle. Because it is
      such a large and slow package to build, is at the moment only required
      by a few packages in this book, and particularly because newer versions
      tend to break older mozilla packages, the BLFS editors take the view that
      it should only be updated when that is necessary (either to fix problems,
      or to allow a new version of a package to build).
    </para>

    <para>
      As with many  other programming languages, rustc (the rust compiler)
      needs a binary from which to bootstrap. It will download a stage0 binary
      and many cargo crates (these are actually .tar.gz source archives) at
      the start of the build, so you cannot compile it without an internet
      connection.
    </para>

    <para>
      These crates will then remain in various forms (cache, directories of
      extracted source), in <filename class="directory">~/.cargo</filename> for
      ever more. It is common for large <application>rust</application> packages
      to use multiple versions of some crates. If you purge the files before
      updating this package, very few crates will need to be updated by the
      packages in this book which use it (and they will be downloaded as
      required). But if you retain an older version as a fallback option and
      then use it (when <emphasis>not</emphasis> building in
      <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>), it is likely that it will
      then have to re-download some crates. For a full download (i.e. starting
      with an empty or missing <filename class="directory">~/.cargo</filename>)
      downloading the external cargo files for this version only takes a minute
      or so on a fast network.
    </para>

    <note>
      <para>
        Although BLFS usually installs in <filename
        class="directory">/usr</filename>, when you later upgrade to a newer
        version of <application>rust</application> the old libraries in <filename
        class="directory">/usr/lib/rustlib</filename> will remain, with various
        hashes in their names, but will not be usable and will waste space. The
        editors recommend placing the files in the <filename
        class="directory">/opt</filename> directory.  In particular, if you
        have reason to rebuild with a modified configuration (e.g. using the
        shipped LLVM after building with shared LLVM, perhaps to compile crates
        for architectures which the BLFS LLVM build does not support)
        it is possible for the install to leave a broken
        <command>cargo</command> program. In such a situation, either remove
        the existing installation first, or use a different prefix such as
        /opt/rustc-&rust-version;-build2.
      </para>

      <para>
        If you prefer, you can of course change the prefix to <filename
        class="directory">/usr</filename> and omit the
        <command>ldconfig</command> and the actions to add rustc to the PATH.
      </para>
    </note>

    <para>
      The current <application>rustbuild</application> build-system will use
      all processors, although it does not scale well and often falls
      back to just using one core while waiting for a library to compile.
      However it can be mostly limited to a specified number of processors by
      a combination of adding the switch <literal>--jobs &lt;N&gt;</literal>
      (e.g. '--jobs 4' to limit to 4 processors) on each invocation of
      <command>python3 ./x.py</command> <emphasis>and</emphasis> using an
      environment variable <envar>CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=&lt;N&gt;</envar>. At the
      moment this is not effective when some of the rustc tests are run.
    </para>

    <para>
      The current version of rust's num_cpus crate now recognizes that cgroups
      can be used to restrict which processors it is allowed to use. So if your
      machine lacks DRAM (typically, less than 2GB DRAM per core) that might be
      an alternative to taking CPUs offline.
      <phrase revision="sysv">In sysv systems cgroups requires <ulink
      url="https://sourceforge.net/projects/libcg/">libcgroup</ulink>.</phrase>
      <phrase revision="systemd">That can apparently be achieved by writing
      custom unit files.</phrase>
    </para>

    <para>
      At the moment <application>Rust</application> does not provide any
      guarantees of a stable ABI.
    </para>

    <note>
      <para>
        Rustc defaults to building for ALL supported architectures, using a
        shipped copy of LLVM. In BLFS the build is only for the X86
        architecture.
        If you intend to develop rust crates, this build may not be good
        enough for your purposes.
      </para>
      <para>
        The build times of this version when repeated on the same machine are
        often reasonably consistent, but as with all compilations using
        <command>rustc</command> there can be some very slow outliers.
      </para>
      <para>
        Unusually, a DESTDIR-style method is being used to install this package.
        This is because running the install as root not only downloads all of the
        cargo files again (to <filename>/root/.cargo</filename>), it then spends
        a very long time recompiling. Using this method saves a lot of time, at
        the cost of extra disk space.

      To run the tests issue <command>python3 ./x.py test --verbose

    <para>
      As with all large testsuites, other tests might fail on some machines -
      if the number of additional failures is in the single digits,
      check the log for 'failures:' and review lines above that, particularly the
      'stderr:' lines. Any mention of
      SIGSEGV or signal 11 in a failing test is a cause for concern.
    </para>

    <para>
      If you get any <emphasis>other</emphasis> failing test which reports an
      issue number then you should search for that issue.  For example, when
      rustc &gt;= 1.41.1 was built with a version of sysllvm before 10.0 the test
      for issue 69225 failed <ulink
      url="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/69225"/> and that should be
      regarded as a critical failure (they released 1.41.1 because of it).
      Most other failures will not be critical.
    </para>

    <para>
      Therefore, you should determine the number of failures.
    </para>

<!--
 The total number
      of tests varies depending on which dependencies are present, e.g. more
      will be run if <command>gdb</command> is available. If you wish, the
      total number which were considered can be found if you run:

    <para>
      The number of tests which failed can be found by running:
    </para>

<screen remap="test"><userinput>grep '^test result:' rustc-testlog | awk  '{ sum += $6 } END { print sum }'</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      And similarly if you care about how many tests passed use $4, for those
      which were ignored (i.e. skipped) use $8 (and $10 for 'measured', $12 for
      'filtered out' but both are probably zero).
    </para>

    <para>
      Still as your normal user, do a DESTDIR install:

    <para>
      <command>targets = "X86"</command>: this avoids building all the available
      linux cross-compilers (Aarch64, MIPS, PowerPC, SystemZ, etc). Unfortunately,

      can be used, the default in <filename>config.toml</filename> is to use
      development features, which is not appropriate for a released version.
    </para>

    <para>
      <command>rpath = false</command>: by default, <command>rust</command> can
      be run from where it was built, without being installed. That adds DT_RPATH
      entries to all of the ELF files, which produces very messy output from
      <command>ldd</command>, showing the libraries in the place they were built,
      even if they have been deleted from there after the install.

      This adds a link to libffi to any RUSTFLAGS you may already be passing

      crate (an interpreter for the Midlevel Intermediate Representation)
      has failed to build on releases. It is optional, but the failure
      messages can persuade people that the whole build failed.  However,
      although it is not built in the main compile, with rustc-1.35.0 it
      now got compiled during the install, but it was broken in that version.
      <!-- might be unbroken in 1.36.0, if so remove broken from description

      <command>export LIBSSH2_SYS_USE_PKG_CONFIG=1</command>: On some systems,
      cairo fails to link during the install because it cannot find libssh2.
