@ -133,6 +133,7 @@ name
[temporary_assignment](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#temporary_assignment) | warn | assignments to temporaries
[too_many_arguments](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#too_many_arguments) | warn | functions with too many arguments
[toplevel_ref_arg](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#toplevel_ref_arg) | warn | An entire binding was declared as `ref`, in a function argument (`fn foo(ref x: Bar)`), or a `let` statement (`let ref x = foo()`). In such cases, it is preferred to take references with `&`.
[transmute_ptr_to_ref](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#transmute_ptr_to_ref) | warn | transmutes from a pointer to a reference type
[trivial_regex](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#trivial_regex) | warn | finds trivial regular expressions in `Regex::new(_)` invocations
[type_complexity](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#type_complexity) | warn | usage of very complex types; recommends factoring out parts into `type` definitions
[unicode_not_nfc](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#unicode_not_nfc) | allow | using a unicode literal not in NFC normal form (see http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/ for further information)
