Add new lint `while_float`
This PR adds a nursery lint that checks for while loops comparing floating point values.
changelog:
```
changelog: [`while_float`]: Checks for while loops comparing floating point values.
```
Fixes#758
add new lint that disallow renaming parameters in trait functions
fixes: #11443fixes: #486
changelog: add new lint [`renamed_function_params`]
Note that the lint name is not final, because I have a bad reputation in naming things, and I don't trust myself.
This is a follow-up for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121659,
since most cases of unintended block quotes are lazy continuations.
The lint is designed to be more generally useful than that, though,
because it will also catch unintended list items and unintended
block quotes that didn't coincidentally hit a pulldown-cmark bug.
This adds a `àllow-useless-vec-in-test` configuration which, when set
to `true` will allow the `useless_vec` lint in `#[test]` functions and
code within `#[cfg(test)]`. It also moves a `is_in_test` helper to
`clippy_utils`.
Fixes#12544.
- don't report an item name if it consists only of a prefix from `allowed-prefixes` list and a module name (e.g. `AsFoo` in module `foo`).
- configured by `allowed-prefixes` config entry
- prefixes allowed by default: [`to`, `from`, `into`, `as`, `try_into`, `try_from`]
- update docs
new lint `legacy_numeric_constants`
Rework of #10997
- uses diagnostic items
- does not lint imports of the float modules (`use std::f32`)
- does not lint usage of float constants that look like `f32::MIN`
I chose to make the float changes because the following pattern is actually pretty useful
```rust
use std::f32;
let omega = freq * 2 * f32::consts::PI;
```
and the float modules are not TBD-deprecated like the integer modules.
Closes#10995

[#12312](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/12312)
Add new `duplicated_attributes` lint
It's a lint idea that `@llogiq` gave me while reviewing another PR.
There are some limitations, in particular for the "output". Initially I wanted to make it possible for directly lint against the whole attribute if its parts were all duplicated, but then I realized that the output would be chaotic if the duplicates were coming from different attributes, so I preferred to go to the simplest way and simply emit a warning for each entry. Not the best, but makes the implementation much easier.
Another limitation is that `cfg_attr` would be a bit more tricky to implement because we need to check if two `cfg` sets are exactly the same. I added a FIXME and will likely come back to it later.
And finally, I updated the `cargo dev update_lints` command because the generated `tests/ui/rename.rs` file was emitting the `duplicated_attributes` lint, so I allowed this lint inside it to prevent it from working.
changelog: Add new `duplicated_attributes` lint
New lint `const_is_empty`
This lint detects calls to `.is_empty()` on an entity initialized from a string literal and flag them as suspicious. To avoid triggering on macros called from generated code, it checks that the `.is_empty()` receiver, the call itself and the initialization come from the same context.
Fixes#12307
changelog: [`const_is_empty`]: new lint
Add new `mixed_attributes_style` lint
Add a new lint to detect cases where both inner and outer attributes are used on a same item.
