Hi there, Compiling ramp gives:

Updating registry https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index Compiling ramp v0.1.2 /home/manfred/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/ramp-0.1.2/src/ll/limb.rs:52:9: 52:14 error: expected one of extern, fn, type, or unsafe, found const /home/manfred/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/ramp-0.1.2/src/ll/limb.rs:52 pub const BITS : usize = 32; ^~~~~ Could not compile ramp.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

What compiler version are you using? I can compile fine.

manfredlotz commented 9 years ago

% rustc -V rustc 1.0.0 (a59de37e9 2015-05-13) (built 2015-05-14) -- Manfred

@manfredlotz well I'm not sure why you're getting that error in particular, but Ramp currently only works on the nightly compiler due to use of inline assembly (and a few other things, but that's the main one).

Closing since it compiles on a nightly.

Yep, with a nightly built compiler compiling works fine. Perhaps you should mention it in the README.md.

Thanks for looking into this.
