* Description
This layer supports [[https://www.rust-lang.org][Rust]] development in Spacemacs.

** Features:
- Auto-completion and navigation support through [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-rust][lsp]] or [[https://github.com/phildawes/racer][Racer]]
- support for the Rust package manager [[http://doc.crates.io/index.html][Cargo]]

* Install
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =rust= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.

** Backends
The backend is dependent upon the =rust-backend= layer configuration variable.
The possible vaules for =rust-backend= are =lsp= or =racer= with =racer= being the default.

*** Racer
You must install [[https://github.com/phildawes/racer][Racer]] to use this backend. Make sure the =racer= binary is available in
your =PATH= and to set the environment variable =RUST_SRC_PATH=, as described in
the [[https://github.com/phildawes/racer#installation][installation instructions]].

To enable auto-completion, ensure that the =auto-completion= layer is enabled.

*** LSP
You must add =lsp= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= in your =~/.spacemacs=.

Consult the installation command for the desired language server found at [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode][lsp-mode]] for instructions.

To enable auto-completion, ensure that the =auto-completion= layer is enabled.

**** Debugger (dap integration)
To install the debug adapter you may run =M-x dap-gdb-lldb-setup= when you are on Linux or download it manually from [[https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=webfreak.debug][Native Debug]] and adjust =dap-gdb-lldb-path=.

** Cargo
[[http://doc.crates.io/index.html][Cargo]] is a project management command line tool for Rust. Installation
instructions can be found on the main page of [[http://doc.crates.io/index.html][Cargo]].

** Rustfmt
Format Rust code according to style guidelines using [[https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustfmt][rustfmt]].

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
  cargo install rustfmt
#+END_SRC

To enable automatic buffer formatting on save, set the variable =rust-format-on-save= to =t=.
