The issue:
See this Rust playground link: https://play.rust-lang.org/?edition=2018&gist=12cb5d1e7527f8c37743b87fc4a53748
Run the above with clippy to see the following warning:
```
warning: returning the result of a `let` binding from a block
--> src/main.rs:24:5
|
23 | let value = Foo::new(&x).value();
| --------------------------------- unnecessary `let` binding
24 | value
| ^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(clippy::let_and_return)]` on by default
= help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#let_and_return
help: return the expression directly
|
23 |
24 | Foo::new(&x).value()
|
```
Implementing the suggested fix, removing the temporary let binding,
yields a compiler error:
```
error[E0597]: `x` does not live long enough
--> src/main.rs:23:14
|
23 | Foo::new(&x).value()
| ---------^^-
| | |
| | borrowed value does not live long enough
| a temporary with access to the borrow is created here ...
24 | }
| -
| |
| `x` dropped here while still borrowed
| ... and the borrow might be used here, when that temporary is dropped and runs the `Drop` code for type `Foo`
|
= note: the temporary is part of an expression at the end of a block;
consider forcing this temporary to be dropped sooner, before the block's local variables are dropped
help: for example, you could save the expression's value in a new local variable `x` and then make `x` be the expression at the end of the block
|
23 | let x = Foo::new(&x).value(); x
| ^^^^^^^ ^^^
```
The fix:
Of course, clippy looks like it should already handle this edge case;
however, it appears `utils::fn_def_id` is not returning a `DefId` for
`Foo::new`. Changing the `qpath_res` lookup to use the child Path
`hir_id` instead of the parent Call `hir_id` fixes the issue.
Improve safety of `LateContext::qpath_res`
This is my first rustc code change, inspired by hacking on clippy!
The first change is to clear cached `TypeckResults` from `LateContext` when visiting a nested item. I took a hint from [here](5e91c4ecc0/compiler/rustc_privacy/src/lib.rs (L1300)).
Clippy has a `qpath_res` util function to avoid a possible ICE in `LateContext::qpath_res`. But the docs of `LateContext::qpath_res` promise no ICE. So this updates the `LateContext` method to keep its promises, and removes the util function.

Make more traits of the From/Into family diagnostic items
Following traits are now diagnostic items:
- `From` (unchanged)
- `Into`
- `TryFrom`
- `TryInto`
This also adds symbols for those items:
- `into_trait`
- `try_from_trait`
- `try_into_trait`

Refractor a few more types to `rustc_type_ir`
In the continuation of #79169, ~~blocked on that PR~~.
This PR:
- moves `IntVarValue`, `FloatVarValue`, `InferTy` (and friends) and `Variance`
- creates the `IntTy`, `UintTy` and `FloatTy` enums in `rustc_type_ir`, based on their `ast` and `chalk_ir` equilavents, and uses them for types in the rest of the compiler.
~~I will split up that commit to make this easier to review and to have a better commit history.~~
EDIT: done, I split the PR in commits of 200-ish lines each

add "cargo dev crater" to run clippy on a fixed set of crates and diff the lint warnings
`cargo dev crater` now does the following:
build clippy in debug mode
for a fixed set of crates:
download and extract the crate
run compiled clippy on the crate
dump the warnings into a file that is inside the repo
We can then do a "git diff" and see what effects our clippy changes had on a tiny fraction of the rust ecosystem and can see when an change unexpectedly added or silenced a lot of warnings.
Checking all the crates took less than 5 minutes on my system.
Should help with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/6429

changelog: extend cargo dev to run clippy against a fixed set of crates and compare warnings
Similar names ignore underscore prefixed names
changelog: Ignore underscore-prefixed names for similar_names
IMO, this lint is not very helpful for underscore-prefixed variables. Usually they are unused or are just there to ignore part of a destructuring.
