It's also possible that -your code is not well-typed, but if you saw this message, it's still a bug in -error reporting. - -If you see a message about an LLVM assertion failure, then you have also -definitely found a bug in the compiler. In both of these cases, it's not your -fault and you should report a bug! - -If you see a compiler error message that you think is meant for users to see, -but it confuses you, *that's a bug too*. If it wasn't clear to you, then it's -an error message we want to improve, so please report it so that we can try -to make it better. - -# How do I know the bug I found isn't a bug that already exists in the issue tracker? - -If you don't have enough time for a search, then don't worry about that. Just submit -the bug. If it's a duplicate, somebody will notice that and close it during triage. - -If you have the time for it, it would be useful to type the text of the error -message you got [into the issue tracker search box](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues) -to see if there's an existing bug that resembles your problem. If there is, -and it's an open bug, you can comment on that issue and say you are also affected. -This will encourage the devs to fix it. But again, don't let this stop you from -submitting a bug. We'd rather have to do the work of closing duplicates than -miss out on valid bug reports. - -# What information should I include in a bug report? - -It generally helps our diagnosis to include your specific OS (for example: Mac OS X 10.8.3, -Windows 7, Ubuntu 12.04) and your hardware architecture (for example: i686, x86_64). -It's also helpful to provide the exact version and host by copying the output of -re-running the erroneous rustc command with the `--version --verbose` flags, which will -produce something like this: - -```text -rustc 0.12.0 (ba4081a5a 2014-10-07 13:44:41 -0700) -binary: rustc -commit-hash: ba4081a5a8573875fed17545846f6f6902c8ba8d -commit-date: 2014-10-07 13:44:41 -0700 -host: i686-apple-darwin -release: 0.12.0 -``` - -Finally, if you can also provide a backtrace, that'd be great. You can get a -backtrace by setting the `RUST_BACKTRACE` environment variable to `1`, like -this: - -```bash -$ RUST_BACKTRACE=1 rustc ... -``` - -# I submitted a bug, but nobody has commented on it! - -This is sad, but does happen sometimes, since we're short-staffed. If you submit a -bug and you haven't received a comment on it within 3 business days, it's entirely -reasonable to ask about the status of the bug in #rust on irc.mozilla.org. |
