Why Rust uses LLVM? It is written in C++. Why rust isn't completely self-hosted?

Beyarz commented 5 years ago

Oh dear...

porky11 commented 5 years ago

But ust is already written in rust. It only uses an LLVM backend, which doesn't really matter.

TylerReid commented 5 years ago

So what I am hearing is we need to rewrite LLVM in rust...

Current status of Rewriting Rust in Rust

[x] Rust compiler: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/
[x] Rust compiler backend: https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift/
[ ] libc: https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/relibc/ (Needs to be tested for bootstrapping rustc. Only supports Redox OS and Linux.)
[ ] Linker: TBD (Any volunteers?)

SOF3 commented 3 years ago

Does Redox have linkers in Rust?

bjorn3 commented 3 years ago

No, it uses ld from binutils.

Relevant quote from the blog-post:

I went from not knowing Rust at all 1 year ago to having my life rewritten in it. Who could have thought the Rewrite It In Rust evangelists had their dominion extend even to people's lives?
