Allow provisional mgca syntax of type const <IDENT> = <EXPR> to be reconized.

Revert, but without type const.

Update symbol for feature err, then update suggestion output, and lastly update tests that change because of those.

Update these new tests with the correct syntax, and few existing tests with the new outputs the merge with main added.

Fix for tidyfmt and some errors when manually resolving a merge conflicts.

Update these tests to use update error messages and type const syntax.

Update comments and error message to use new syntax instead of old type_const attribute.

Remove the type_const attribute

update some more tests to use the new syntax.

Update these test cases.

update feature gate test

Change gate logic for `mgca_type_const_syntax` to work also if `min_generic_const_args` is enabled.

Create a new feature gate that checks for the feature before expansion.

Make rustfmt handle the `type const` syntax correctly.

Add a convience method to check if a RhsKind is type const.

Rename `Const` discriminant to `Body` for `ConstItemRhsKind`

Give the `TraitItemKind` flag an enum instead of a simple bool to better describe what the flag is for.

Update formatting for these match statements.

Update clippy test to use type const syntax.

Update test to use type const syntax.

update rustfmt to match ast items.

Update clippy to match ast and hir items.

Few more test cases that used old attribute, instead of 'type const'

Update to match the output from the feature gate checks.

tidyfmt adjustments.

Update the is_type_const, so I can constrain record!(..) in encoder.rs

Update conditional compilation test.

Move the feature gate to after expansion to allow for cfg(...) to work.

Update some more tests to use the new syntax.

Update type const tests in associated-const-bindings to use new syntax.

update the tests in associated consts that use #[type_const] to use type const

Update these mgca tests with the type const syntax.

Add a flag to TraitItemKind for detecting type const for now. Maybe later change ItemConstRhs to have optional consts but that touches a lot more lines of code.

Don't need into for these now that it's a query.

Add is_type_const query to handle foreign def ids.

update this test to use type const syntax.

Fix logic here, we only want to lower if there is expression in this case.

Update built-in macros to use ConstItemRhsKind

Update more instance of the old ConstItemRhs.

Rename ConstItemKind to ConstItemRhsKind, I noticed there is a typed called ConstantItemKind, so add the Rhs to the name to avoid confusion.

Update lower to use ConstItemKind

Add an other helper method to check if the rhs kinda has an expr.

Update item parse to use ConstItemKind enum.

Felt the field name could a be little clear when editing a few other things.

Change the ConstItem struct see know if we have a type const or regular const.

Make sure this syntax is properly feature gated.

Clippy

License: MIT OR Apache-2.0

A collection of lints to catch common mistakes and improve your Rust code.

There are over 800 lints included in this crate!

Lints are divided into categories, each with a default lint level. You can choose how much Clippy is supposed to annoy help you by changing the lint level by category.

CategoryDescriptionDefault level
clippy::allall lints that are on by default (correctness, suspicious, style, complexity, perf)warn/deny
clippy::correctnesscode that is outright wrong or uselessdeny
clippy::suspiciouscode that is most likely wrong or uselesswarn
clippy::stylecode that should be written in a more idiomatic waywarn
clippy::complexitycode that does something simple but in a complex waywarn
clippy::perfcode that can be written to run fasterwarn
clippy::pedanticlints which are rather strict or have occasional false positivesallow
clippy::restrictionlints which prevent the use of language and library features[^restrict]allow
clippy::nurserynew lints that are still under developmentallow
clippy::cargolints for the cargo manifestallow

More to come, please file an issue if you have ideas!

The restriction category should, emphatically, not be enabled as a whole. The contained lints may lint against perfectly reasonable code, may not have an alternative suggestion, and may contradict any other lints (including other categories). Lints should be considered on a case-by-case basis before enabling.

[^restrict]: Some use cases for restriction lints include: - Strict coding styles (e.g. clippy::else_if_without_else). - Additional restrictions on CI (e.g. clippy::todo). - Preventing panicking in certain functions (e.g. clippy::unwrap_used). - Running a lint only on a subset of code (e.g. #[forbid(clippy::float_arithmetic)] on a module).


Table of contents:

Usage

Below are instructions on how to use Clippy as a cargo subcommand, in projects that do not use cargo, or in Travis CI.

As a cargo subcommand (cargo clippy)

One way to use Clippy is by installing Clippy through rustup as a cargo subcommand.

Step 1: Install Rustup

You can install Rustup on supported platforms. This will help us install Clippy and its dependencies.

If you already have Rustup installed, update to ensure you have the latest Rustup and compiler:

rustup update

Step 2: Install Clippy

Once you have rustup and the latest stable release (at least Rust 1.29) installed, run the following command:

rustup component add clippy

If it says that it can't find the clippy component, please run rustup self update.

Step 3: Run Clippy

Now you can run Clippy by invoking the following command:

cargo clippy

Automatically applying Clippy suggestions

Clippy can automatically apply some lint suggestions, just like the compiler. Note that --fix implies --all-targets, so it can fix as much code as it can.

cargo clippy --fix

Workspaces

All the usual workspace options should work with Clippy. For example the following command will run Clippy on the example crate:

cargo clippy -p example

As with cargo check, this includes dependencies that are members of the workspace, like path dependencies. If you want to run Clippy only on the given crate, use the --no-deps option like this:

cargo clippy -p example -- --no-deps

Using clippy-driver

Clippy can also be used in projects that do not use cargo. To do so, run clippy-driver with the same arguments you use for rustc. For example:

clippy-driver --edition 2018 -Cpanic=abort foo.rs

Note that clippy-driver is designed for running Clippy only and should not be used as a general replacement for rustc. clippy-driver may produce artifacts that are not optimized as expected, for example.

Travis CI

You can add Clippy to Travis CI in the same way you use it locally:

language: rust
rust:
  - stable
  - beta
before_script:
  - rustup component add clippy
script:
  - cargo clippy
  # if you want the build job to fail when encountering warnings, use
  - cargo clippy -- -D warnings
  # in order to also check tests and non-default crate features, use
  - cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  - cargo test
  # etc.

Note that adding -D warnings will cause your build to fail if any warnings are found in your code. That includes warnings found by rustc (e.g. dead_code, etc.). If you want to avoid this and only cause an error for Clippy warnings, use #![deny(clippy::all)] in your code or -D clippy::all on the command line. (You can swap clippy::all with the specific lint category you are targeting.)

Configuration

Allowing/denying lints

You can add options to your code to allow/warn/deny Clippy lints:

  • the whole set of Warn lints using the clippy lint group (#![deny(clippy::all)]). Note that rustc has additional lint groups.

  • all lints using both the clippy and clippy::pedantic lint groups (#![deny(clippy::all)], #![deny(clippy::pedantic)]). Note that clippy::pedantic contains some very aggressive lints prone to false positives.

  • only some lints (#![deny(clippy::single_match, clippy::box_vec)], etc.)

  • allow/warn/deny can be limited to a single function or module using #[allow(...)], etc.

Note: allow means to suppress the lint for your code. With warn the lint will only emit a warning, while with deny the lint will emit an error, when triggering for your code. An error causes Clippy to exit with an error code, so is useful in scripts like CI/CD.

If you do not want to include your lint levels in your code, you can globally enable/disable lints by passing extra flags to Clippy during the run:

To allow lint_name, run

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::lint_name

And to warn on lint_name, run

cargo clippy -- -W clippy::lint_name

This also works with lint groups. For example, you can run Clippy with warnings for all lints enabled:

cargo clippy -- -W clippy::pedantic

If you care only about a single lint, you can allow all others and then explicitly warn on the lint(s) you are interested in:

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::all -W clippy::useless_format -W clippy::...

Configure the behavior of some lints

Some lints can be configured in a TOML file named clippy.toml or .clippy.toml. It contains a basic variable = value mapping e.g.

avoid-breaking-exported-api = false
disallowed-names = ["toto", "tata", "titi"]

The table of configurations contains all config values, their default, and a list of lints they affect. Each configurable lint , also contains information about these values.

For configurations that are a list type with default values such as disallowed-names, you can use the unique value ".." to extend the default values instead of replacing them.

# default of disallowed-names is ["foo", "baz", "quux"]
disallowed-names = ["bar", ".."] # -> ["bar", "foo", "baz", "quux"]

Note

clippy.toml or .clippy.toml cannot be used to allow/deny lints.

To deactivate the “for further information visit lint-link” message you can define the CLIPPY_DISABLE_DOCS_LINKS environment variable.

Specifying the minimum supported Rust version

Projects that intend to support old versions of Rust can disable lints pertaining to newer features by specifying the minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) in the Clippy configuration file.

msrv = "1.30.0"

Alternatively, the rust-version field in the Cargo.toml can be used.

# Cargo.toml
rust-version = "1.30"

The MSRV can also be specified as an attribute, like below.

#![feature(custom_inner_attributes)]
#![clippy::msrv = "1.30.0"]

fn main() {
  ...
}

You can also omit the patch version when specifying the MSRV, so msrv = 1.30 is equivalent to msrv = 1.30.0.

Note: custom_inner_attributes is an unstable feature, so it has to be enabled explicitly.

Lints that recognize this configuration option can be found here
