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.
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.
Fix formatting for removed lints
- Don't add backticks for the reason a lint was removed. This is almost
never a code block, and when it is the backticks should be in the reason
itself.
- Don't assume clippy is the only tool that needs to be checked for
backwards compatibility
I split this out of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/80527/ because it kept causing tests to fail, and it's a good change to have anyway.

Doc markdown
I added "WebGL" along the lines of the existing "OpenGL" to the whitelist of `doc_markdown` as I found this to be a pretty common term.
(this is a follow-up of the now closed https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/6388)
changelog: Whitelist "WebGL" in `doc_markdown`.
Fix false positive in write_literal and print_literal (numeric literals)

Fixes#6335
It is fairly common to divide some length in bytes by the byte-size of a
single element before creating a `from_raw_parts` slice or similar
operation. This lint would erroneously disallow such expressions.
Just in case, instead of simply disabling this lint in the RHS of a
division, keep track of the inversion and enable it again on recursive
division.
An upcoming test case for new expresssion variants make the stderr file
go over 200 lines. Split this test case in two to have a clear
distinction between checking whether the lint is still applying on
all the functions with member counts as argument, versus validating
various member-count expressions that may or may not be invalid.
New Lint: inspect_then_for_each
**Work In Progress**
This PR addresses [Issue 5209](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/5209) and adds a new lint called `inspect_then_for_each`.
Current seek some guidance.
If you added a new lint, here's a checklist for things that will be
checked during review or continuous integration.
- \[x] Followed [lint naming conventions][lint_naming]
- \[x] Added passing UI tests (including committed `.stderr` file)
- \[x] `cargo test` passes locally
- \[x] Executed `cargo dev update_lints`
- \[x] Added lint documentation
- \[x] Run `cargo dev fmt`

New lint: redundant_slicing
changelog: Added lint: `redundant_slicing`
fixes#6519
This will trigger on any type which implements `Index<RangeFull>` that returns the input type. This would be a false positive if the implementation does something other than return itself, but I'm not sure why you would ever want to do that.
Fix the ICE 6539
Fixes#6539
It happened because `zero_sized_map_values` used `layout_of` with types from type aliases, which is essentially the same as the ICE 4968.

Catch `pointer::cast` too in `cast_ptr_alignment`
Fixes#4708
Although there were some discussion in the issue, this PR implements the original feature. I think `cast_ptr_alignment` should exist as it is, separated from `ptr_as_ptr`.

Fix FP for `boxed_local` lint in default trait fn impl
Fix FP on default trait function implementation on `boxed_local` lint.
Maybe I checked too much when looking if `self` is carrying `Self` in its bound type.
I can't find a good test case for this, so it could be too much conservative.
Let me know if you think only detecting `self` parameter is enough.
Fixes: #4804
changelog: none
Add a new lint `ptr_as_ptr`
This PR adds a new lint `ptr_as_ptr` which checks for `as` casts between raw pointers without changing its mutability and suggest replacing it with `pointer::cast`. Closes#5890.
Open question: should this lint be `pedantic` or `style`? I set it `pedantic` for now because the original post suggests using it, but I think the lint also fits well to `style`.

changelog: New lint `ptr_as_ptr`
Fix: Empty enum never type suggested only if the feature is enabled
This PR addresses [Issue 6422](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/6422). Instead of always recommending `never type` for empty enums, Clippy would only recommend [the lint](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#empty_enum) if [LatePass.TyCtxt](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_middle/ty/context/struct.TyCtxt.html) has `features().never_type` enabled.

New lint: vec_init_then_push
fixes: #1483
This will trigger on `new`, `default`, and `with_capacity` when the given capacity is less than or equal to the number of push calls. Is there anything else this should trigger on?
changelog: Added lint: `vec_init_then_push`
This splits up clippy::collapsible_if into collapsible_if for
if x {
if y { }
}
=>
if x && y { }
and collapsible_else_if for
if x {
} else {
if y { }
}
=>
if x {
} else if y {
}
so that we can lint for only the latter but not the first if we desire.

Added from_over_into lint

Added a lint that searches for implementations of `Into<..>` and suggests to implement `From<..>` instead, as it comes with a default implementation of `Into`. Category: style.

Lint also in trait def for `wrong_self_convention`
Extends `wrong_self_convention` to lint also in trait definition.
By the way, I think the `wrong_pub_self_convention` [example](dd826b4626/clippy_lints/src/methods/mod.rs (L197)) is misleading.
On [playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=32615ab3f6009e7e42cc3754be0ca17f), it fires `wrong_self_convention`, so the example (or the lint maybe?) needs to be reworked.
The difference with `wrong_self_convention` [example](dd826b4626/clippy_lints/src/methods/mod.rs (L172)) is mainly the `pub` keyword on the method `as_str`, but the lint doesn't use the function visibility as condition to choose which lint to fire (in fact it uses the visibility of the impl item).
fixes: #6307
changelog: Lint `wrong_self_convention` lint in trait def also
