Introduction to Rust language and its ecosystem. Goal is to ease starting with Rust for people with knowledge of an high-level language as Java.
- Language (3 foundations)
- Productivity: functional-style, no manual memory management, strong and infered typing
- Performance: native compilation through LLVM, ∅GC, low-level language
- Safety : memory safety, no concurrent access
- Features
- struct / trait / generics
- ownership / borrowing
- memory guarantees : Box / Arc
- macro
- Ecosystem :
- IDE, tests, debugger, RLS
- Build et package manager (Cargo)
- Librairies (Rayon, Rocket, Nom)
Follows instructions available at https://www.rustup.rs/.
In order to cross-compile, you need both a Rust toolchain for the target platform and a "linker" for this platform.
Following instructions help in order to setup a Debian-based environment to target ARMv7.
First, you need to install a 32-bits compiler as ARMv7 is a 32-bits architecture:
apt-get update && apt-get install libc6-dev-i386
Next, install cross-compiling tools
apt-get update && apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
Then, install target to Rust toolchain
rustup target add armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
Finally, specify linker Cargo should use
cat >>~/.cargo/config <<EOF
[target.armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf]
linker = "arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc"
EOF
In order to generate ARMv7 binaries:
cargo build --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
Optionally, you can omit --target flag by adding the following section to your ~/.cargo/config:
[build]
target = "armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf"
First, you need to install emscripten.
Note: don't forget to set your environment each time with: ${EMSDK_HOME}/emsdk activate latest && source ${EMSDK_HOME}/.emsdk_env.sh
Then, install target to Rust toolchain:
rustup target add asmjs-unknown-emscripten
Next, to build your project:
cargo build --target asmjs-unknown-emscripten
Finally, execute your code in an HTML page:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="target/asmjs-unknown-emscripten/debug/project_name.js"></script>
</body>
