### How Clippy works
## How Clippy works
Clippy is a [rustc compiler plugin][compiler_plugin]. The main entry point is at [`src/lib.rs`][main_entry]. In there, the lint registration is delegated to the [`clippy_lints`][lint_crate] crate.

That's why the `else_if_without_else` example uses the `register_early_lint_pass` function. Because the [actual lint logic][else_if_without_else] does not depend on any type information.
### Fixing build failures caused by Rust
## Fixing build failures caused by Rust
Clippy will sometimes fail to build from source because building it depends on unstable internal Rust features. Most of the times we have to adapt to the changes and only very rarely there's an actual bug in Rust. Fixing build failures caused by Rust updates, can be a good way to learn about Rust internals.

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: `cargo clippy -- -A clippy::lint_name` will run Clippy with `lint_name` disabled and `cargo clippy -- -W clippy::lint_name` will run it with that enabled. This also works with lint groups. For example you can run Clippy with warnings for all lints enabled: `cargo clippy -- -W clippy::pedantic`
