A new number appeared in the version 0.11.0 compared to 0.10. This looks like a preparation for 0.11.1, ... . Are you starting to support these releases with bug-eliminations? ___ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org

Re: [rust-dev] Rust's documentation is about to drastically improve

2014-06-18 Thread Zoltán Tóth
Please do not create examples for _all_ entities in the API doc. In case of trivial entities [like Iterator::filter] it would just unnecessarily decrease the conciseness of the doc. Also: think about the amount of update this may make necessary in case Rust language syntax changes. On Tue, Jun

Re: [rust-dev] Rust's documentation is about to drastically improve

2014-06-18 Thread Zoltán Tóth
​One long-standing problem of mine with the docs is that they are split to multiple sources: tutorial, manual, RustByExample, RustForC++Programmers, ... . Would be nice to have one central starting location and a strict hierarchy of links from the center to a searched topic, and then being able to

A tip: Monitor StackOverflow for Rust tagged questions, and after each reasonable question modify the doc so that going to SO becomes unnecessary for those who sought answer in the doc first. ___ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org

[rust-dev] how is Rust bootstrapped?

2014-06-09 Thread Zoltán Tóth
My question is rather theoretical, from the libre-and-open-source-software point of view. Bootstrapping needs an already existing language to compile the first executable version of Rust. I read that this was OCaml at some time. I do not have OCaml on my machine, but still managed to build from

Re: [rust-dev] how is Rust bootstrapped?

2014-06-09 Thread Zoltán Tóth
Do you plan to create a cleaner full-bootstrap process? By cleaner I mean dividing stage-0 to more [sub-]stages, which would be well-defined and documented in terms of the set of language features it implements. Currently these sub-stages are defined by a team member's mood to instruct the

Re: [rust-dev] Qt5 Rust bindings and general C++ to Rust bindings feedback

2014-05-24 Thread Zoltán Tóth
Alexander, your option 2 could be done automatically. By appending postfixes to the overloaded name depending on the parameter types. Increasing the number of letters used till the ambiguity is fully resolved. What do you think? fillRect_RF_B ( const QRectF rectangle, const QBrush brush )

Re: [rust-dev] Compiling with no bounds checking for vectors?

2014-03-29 Thread Zoltán Tóth
Devs, please explain how such option could decrease the safety of the language. As it would be just that, an option, an opt-in one. IMHO it even could increase the safety of Rust. There are some extreme optimizing C++ programmers currently. Yes, they are a small fraction, but they exist. And they

Thank Björn Steinbrink for your example. Though Daniel already mentioned the key [the difference between the runtime and logic errors] earlier many times, I only now understood it from the example. Sorry ___ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org
