Make sure you read David Wheeler's page on diverse double compilation which is the cure for this concern: http://www.dwheeler.com/trusting-trust/ Presumably before rust reaches a point of earth-shaking importance there will be an second implementation which can compile the first compiler, thus permitting this solution. :) _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
