More frustrations with Rust.
After the issues I've described in previous posts, I tried to scale back to (what I thought was going to be) a more achievable project.
What I picked was a Rust rewrite of a simple utility. I built a
program designed to move new OS kernels into place, keeping old ones
around. (I called it, with pretty much total lack of imagination,
move-kernel. If you want you can git clone it from my git server, at
git://git.rodents-montreal.org/move-kernel.)
I haven't even got past command-line arglist parsing and I have, shall we say, had trouble. Rather than try to postprocess the code into HTML, I'll just link to the whole source file. It contains a comment header describing the issues I've run into.
