Cleanup substitutions and treatment of generics around traits in a number of ways

- In a TraitRef, use the self type consistently to refer to the Self type:
  - trait ref in `impl Trait<A,B,C> for S` has a self type of `S`.
  - trait ref in `A:Trait` has the self type `A`
  - trait ref associated with a trait decl has self type `Self`
  - trait ref associated with a supertype has self type `Self`
  - trait ref in an object type `@Trait` has no self type

- Rewrite `each_bound_traits_and_supertraits` to perform
  substitutions as it goes, and thus yield a series of trait refs
  that are always in the same 'namespace' as the type parameter
  bound given as input.  Before, we left this to the caller, but
  this doesn't work because the caller lacks adequare information
  to perform the type substitutions correctly.

- For provided methods, substitute the generics involved in the provided
  method correctly.

- Introduce TypeParameterDef, which tracks the bounds declared on a type
  parameter and brings them together with the def_id and (in the future)
  other information (maybe even the parameter's name!).

- Introduce Subst trait, which helps to cleanup a lot of the
  repetitive code involved with doing type substitution.

- Introduce Repr trait, which makes debug printouts far more convenient.

Fixes #4183.  Needed for #5656.

The Rust Programming Language

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

Installation

The Rust compiler currently must be built from a tarball, unless you are on Windows, in which case using the installer is recommended.

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, Server 2008 R2), x86 only
  • Linux (various distributions), x86 and x86-64
  • OSX 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") or greater, x86 and x86-64

You may find that other platforms work, but these are our "tier 1" supported build environments that are most likely to work.

Note: Windows users should read the detailed getting started notes on the wiki. Even when using the binary installer the Windows build requires a MinGW installation, the precise details of which are not discussed here.

To build from source you will also need the following prerequisite packages:

  • g++ 4.4 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

Assuming you're on a relatively modern *nix system and have met the prerequisites, something along these lines should work.

$ curl -O http://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-0.6.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf rust-0.6.tar.gz
$ cd rust-0.6
$ ./configure
$ make && make install

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; rustdoc, the API-documentation tool, and rustpkg, the Rust package manager and build system.
