This commit implements the `make dist` command in the new rustbuild build
system, porting over `dist.mk` and `prepare.mk` into Rust. There's a huge amount
of complexity between those two files, not all of which is likely justified, so
the Rust implementation is *much* smaller.
Currently the implementation still shells out to rust-installer as well as some
python scripts, but ideally we'd rewrite it all in the future to not shell out
and be in Rust proper.
The facet of a stage is rarely relevant when running a tool or building
something, it's all a question of what stage the *compiler* is built in. We've
already got a nice handy `Compiler` structure to carry this information, so
let's use it!
This refactors the signature of the `Build::cargo` function two ways:
1. The `stage` argument is removed, this was just duplicated with the `compiler`
argument's stage field.
2. The `target` argument is now required. This was a bug where if the `--target`
flag isn't passed then the snapshot stage0 compiler is always used, so we
won't pick up any changes.
Much of the other changes in this commit are just propagating these decisions
outwards. For example many of the `Step` variants no longer have a stage
argument as they're baked into the compiler.
The standard library doesn't depend on rustc_bitflags, so move it to explicit
dependencies on all other crates. Additionally, the arena/fmt_macros deps could
be dropped from libsyntax.
This commit is the start of a series of commits which start to replace the
makefiles with a Cargo-based build system. The aim is not to remove the
makefiles entirely just yet but rather just replace the portions that invoke the
compiler to do the bootstrap. This commit specifically adds enough support to
perform the bootstrap (and all the cross compilation within) along with
generating documentation.
More commits will follow up in this series to actually wire up the makefiles to
call this build system, so stay tuned!
Fixes#1896 which was never truly fixed, just masked.
The given tests would have failed had they used `~fn()` and
not `@fn()`. They now result in compilation errors.
Fixes#2978.
Necessary first step for #2202, #2263.
Maintain explicit "paren" nodes in the AST so we can pretty-print
without having to guess where parens should go. We may revisit this
in the future.
