@ -5,8 +5,33 @@ and registration of the lint in Clippy's codebase.
We can use the Clippy dev tools to handle this step since setting up the
lint involves some boilerplate code.
In our example, we're going to create a lint to detect functions named `foo` because it is a highly non-descriptive
name for a function, so we want to trigger this and fix it early in the development process.
#### Lint types
A lint type is the category of items and expressions in which your lint focuses on.
As of the writing of this documentation update, there are 12 groups (a.k.a. _types_)
of lints besides the numerous standalone lints living under `clippy_lints/src/`:
- `cargo`
- `casts`
- `functions`
- `loops`
- `matches`
- `methods`
- `misc_early`
- `operators`
- `transmute`
- `types`
- `unit_types`
- `utils / internal` (Clippy internal lints)
These types group together lints that share some common behaviors.
For instance, `functions` groups together lints
that deal with some aspects of function calls in Rust.
For more information, feel free to compare the lint files under any category
with [All Clippy lints][all_lints] or
ask one of the maintainers.
