试用 Rust 编程

Home

Rust 是这几年比较火的编程语言。2006年时,Mozilla的一个员工开始做一个个人项目,后来得到了公司的支持,于2010年发布这个项目。这个项目就叫Rust。

接下来,运行起来Rust的第一个程序吧。打开官网,来看看如何把程序跑起来。

官网提供了一个脚本:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

在 Mac 上也可以用 Mac系统的包管理工具Homebrew来安装。可运行命令:

brew install rust

我这里用Homebrew来安装rust。安装的时刻,让我们继续看官网。

接着我们看官网出现了Cargo这个东西,Rust的构建工具和包管理工具。

官方网站上说:

告诉我们如何构建、运行和测试Cargo程序。

运行:

brew install rust

输出:

==> Downloading from https://d29vzk4ow07wi7.cloudfront.net/5a238d58c3fa775fed4e12ad74109deff54a82a06cb6a3a4f51b5d37587fb319?response-content-disposition=a

这便安装成功了。

当在终端运行cargo时,输出如下:

Rust's package manager

USAGE:
    cargo [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND]

OPTIONS:
    -V, --version           Print version info and exit
        --list              List installed commands
        --explain <CODE>    Run `rustc --explain CODE`
    -v, --verbose           Use verbose output (-vv very verbose/build.rs output)
    -q, --quiet             No output printed to stdout
        --color <WHEN>      Coloring: auto, always, never
        --frozen            Require Cargo.lock and cache are up to date
        --locked            Require Cargo.lock is up to date
        --offline           Run without accessing the network
    -Z <FLAG>...            Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo, see 'cargo -Z help' for details
    -h, --help              Prints help information

Some common cargo commands are (see all commands with --list):
    build, b    Compile the current package
    check, c    Analyze the current package and report errors, but don't build object files
    clean       Remove the target directory
    doc         Build this package's and its dependencies' documentation
    new         Create a new cargo package
    init        Create a new cargo package in an existing directory
    run, r      Run a binary or example of the local package
    test, t     Run the tests
    bench       Run the benchmarks
    update      Update dependencies listed in Cargo.lock
    search      Search registry for crates
    publish     Package and upload this package to the registry
    install     Install a Rust binary. Default location is $HOME/.cargo/bin
    uninstall   Uninstall a Rust binary

See 'cargo help <command>' for more information on a specific command.

无需弄懂所有的命令。只需要知道常用的命令即可。build 和 run 命令很重要。

继续看官网文档:

Lets write a small application with our new Rust development environment. To start, well use Cargo to make a new project for us. In your terminal of choice run:

cargo new hello-rust

This will generate a new directory called hello-rust with the following files:

hello-rust
|- Cargo.toml
|- src
  |- main.rs
Cargo.toml is the manifest file for Rust. Its where you keep metadata for your project, as well as dependencies.

src/main.rs is where well write our application code.

这讲述了如何创建项目。接下来便创建。

$ cargo new hello-rust

Created binary (application) `hello-rust` package

我们用 VSCode来打开项目。

main.rs:

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

接下来,很自然想到要build以及run程序。

$ cargo build

error: could not find `Cargo.toml` in `/Users/lzw/ideas/curious-courses/program/run/rust` or any parent directory

出错了。为什么。这表明cargo只能在项目下的目录运行。接下来进入子目录,运行了cd hello-rust

这时,想如果直接运行,会怎么样。

$ cargo run
   
   Compiling hello-rust v0.1.0 (/Users/lzw/ideas/curious-courses/program/run/rust/hello-rust)
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 4.43s
     Running `target/debug/hello-rust`
Hello, world!

好了,成功了。输出了字符串,程序开始工作啦。

试着改动程序。

fn main() {
    println!(2+3);
}

cargo run之后,出现了:

   Compiling hello-rust v0.1.0 (/Users/lzw/ideas/curious-courses/program/run/rust/hello-rust)
error: format argument must be a string literal
 --> src/main.rs:2:14
  |
2 |     println!(2+3);
  |              ^^^
  |
help: you might be missing a string literal to format with
  |
2 |     println!("{}", 2+3);
  |              ^^^^^

error: aborting due to previous error

error: could not compile `hello-rust`

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

还没学习任何Rust语法。凭着我们的直觉来改动代码出错了。这个出错提示很好,已经告诉我们怎么改了。

fn main() {
    println!("{}", 2+3);
}

这次改对了,果然输出了5。

对了,build会怎么样。

$ cargo build
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.00s

为什么要有build呢。因为有可能我们只是想生成可执行程序,而并不想执行。也许对于一些庞大的程序,执行是费时的。也许我们想本地生成,然后传输到远程服务器去执行。

我们已经把Rust程序跑起来了。后面便是熟悉更多的Rust语言语法,来在Rust中找到我们在「解谜计算机科学」上讲述的变量、函数、函数调用和表达式等概念所对应的符号表示。
