Issues marked [`T-AST`] involve simple matching of the syntax tree structure,
and are generally easier than [`T-middle`] issues, which involve types
and resolved paths.
[`T-AST`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/labels/T-AST) issues will generally need you to match against a
predefined syntax structure. To figure out how this syntax structure is encoded in the AST, it is recommended to run
`rustc -Z ast-json` on an example of the structure and compare with the [nodes in the AST
docs]. Usually the lint will end up to be a nested series of matches and ifs, [like
so](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/blob/de5ccdfab68a5e37689f3c950ed1532ba9d652a0/src/misc.rs#L34).

[`E-medium`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/labels/E-medium) issues are generally
pretty easy too, though it's recommended you work on an E-easy issue first. They are mostly classified
as `E-medium`, since they might be somewhat involved code wise, but not difficult per-se.

lot of methods that are useful, though one of the most useful would be `expr_ty` (gives the type of
an AST expression). `match_def_path()` in Clippy's `utils` module can also be useful.

## Writing code
Have a look at the [docs for writing lints](doc/adding_lints.md) for more details. [Llogiq's blog post on
lints](https://llogiq.github.io/2015/06/04/workflows.html) is also a nice primer to lint-writing, though it does get
into advanced stuff and may be a bit outdated.

is also a nice primer to lint-writing, though it does get into advanced stuff and may be a bit outdated.
If you want to add a new lint or change existing ones apart from bugfixing, it's
also a good idea to give the [stability guarantees][rfc_stability] and
[lint categories][rfc_lint_cats] sections of the [Clippy 1.0 RFC][clippy_rfc] a
quick read.

That's why the `else_if_without_else` example uses the `register_early_pass` function. Because the [actual lint
logic][else_if_without_else] does not depend on any type information.
