Create a Static Analyser in Rust

An experiment in using literate programming to write a static analysis tool for Delphi code. Feel free to read along online if you want.

Building

If you want to build and read this locally you'll need to have the following installed:

• Rust (via rustup)
• tango (cargo install tango)
• mdbook (cargo install mdbook)

If you've freshly cloned the repo then src/lib.rs won't yet exist. Cargo doesn't particularly like this, so we need to manually run tango to generate the Rust code.

$ tango

If you look at the src/ directory you'll see two copies of everything, one in markdown (*.md) and the other in Rust (*.rs). If there are ever any compile errors, it's often super useful to be able to look at the actual source code being compiled.

If you want to look at the book version of the code, you'll need to run mdbook.

$ mdbook build --open

And the rustdoc documentation can be viewed the usual way.

$ cargo doc --open
