Fixes#5542.
When using C FFI, to handle pointers in parameters it is needed to
declare them as `Box` in its Rust-side signature. However, the current
linter warns against the usage of Box stating that "local variable
doesn't need to be boxed here".
This commit fixes it by ignoring functions whose Abi is Cdecl.
Downgrade rc_buffer to restriction
I think Arc\<Vec\<T\>\> and Arc\<String\> and similar are a totally reasonable data structure, as observed by others in the comments on [#6044](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/6044#event-3799579830) as well. Doing `Arc::make_mut(&mut self.vec).push(...)` or `Arc::make_mut(&mut self.string).push_str("...")` is a terrific and well performing copy-on-write pattern. Linting this with an enabled-by-default <kbd>performance</kbd> lint strikes me as an unacceptable false positive balance.
As of #6090 the documentation of this lint now contains:
> **Known problems:** This pattern can be desirable ...
which should indicate that we shouldn't be linting against correct, reasonable, well-performing patterns with an enabled-by-default lint.
Mentioning #6044, #6090.

Fix LitKind's byte buffer to use refcounted slice
While working on adding a new lint for clippy (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/6044) for avoiding shared ownership of "mutable buffer" types (such as using `Rc<Vec<T>>` instead of `Rc<[T]>`), I noticed a type exported from rustc_ast and used by clippy gets caught by the lint. This PR fixes the exported type.
This PR includes the actual change to clippy too, but I will open a PR directly against clippy for that part (although it will currently fail to build there).
unnecessary sort by: avoid dereferencing the suggested closure parameter
This change tries to simplify the solution for problematic cases but is less restrictive than #6006.
* We can't dereference shared references to non-Copy types, so the new suggestion does not do that. Note that this implies that the suggested closure parameter will be a reference.
* We can't take a reference to the closure parameter in the returned key, so we don't lint in those cases. This can happen either because the key borrows from the parameter (e.g. `|a| a.borrows()`), or because we suggest `|a| Reverse(a)`. If we did we would hit this error:
```
error: lifetime may not live long enough
--> /home/ebroto/src/ebroto-clippy/tests/ui/unnecessary_sort_by.fixed:19:25
|
19 | vec.sort_by_key(|b| Reverse(b));
| -- ^^^^^^^^^^ returning this value requires that `'1` must outlive `'2`
| ||
| |return type of closure is Reverse<&'2 isize>
| has type `&'1 isize`
error: aborting due to previous error
```
Note that Clippy does not currently have the (MIR-based) machinery necessary to check that what is borrowed is actually the closure parameter.

Do not lint float fractions in `mistyped_literal_suffixes`
As suggested in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/4706#issuecomment-544797928, the fractional part is now ignored (the integer part is checked instead).
Fixes: #4706
changelog: `mistyped_literal_suffixes` no longer warns on the fractional part of a float (e.g. 713.23_64)
Lint for invisible Unicode characters other than ZWSP
This PR extends the existing `zero_width_space` lint to look for other invisible characters as well (in this case, `\\u{ad}` soft hyphen.
I feel like this lint is the logical place to add the check, but I also realize the lint name is not particularly flexible, but I also understand that it shouldn't be renamed for compatibility reasons.
Open questions:
- What other characters should trigger the lint?
- What should be done with the lint name?
- How to indicate the change in functionality?
Motivation behind this PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77417 - I managed to shoot myself in the foot by an invisible character pasted into my test case.
changelog: rename [`zero_width_space`] to [`invisible_characters`] and add SHY and WJ to the list.
Don't emit a lint for the suggestion leading to errors in `needless_range_loop`

New Lint: disallowed_method
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/6073
I added a `disallowed_method` lint that works similar to `blacklisted_name`, e.g allows config-defined disallowed method calls.
This lint allows advanced users to patch in undesired method calls for specific projects. It basically uses the DefId of method calls and matches it to parsed strings. Is there an alternative approach that could use more easily digestible configuration strings?
All tests pass as expected except for a linting error on `ui/redundant_pattern_matching_option`, which I am not sure how to resolve since I don't think I changed anything affecting it.
changelog: Add disallowed_method lint to warn on user-defined method calls
Fix FP in `print_stdout`
Fix#6041
This lint shouldn't be emitted in `build.rs` as `println!` and `print!` are used for the build script.

Update Clippy
Bi-weekly Clippy update.
This includes a `Cargo.lock` update (d445493479711389f4dea3a0f433041077ba2088), so probably needs `rollup=never`.

Allow a unique name to be assigned to dataflow graphviz output
Previously, if the same analysis were invoked multiple times in a single compilation session, the graphviz output for later runs would overwrite that of previous runs. Allow callers to add a unique identifier to each run so this can be avoided.
Revert: or_fun_call should lint calls to `const fn`s with no args
The changes in #5889 and #5984 were done under the incorrect assumption that a `const fn` with no args was guaranteed to be evaluated at compile time. A `const fn` is only guaranteed to be evaluated at compile time if it's inside a const context (the initializer of a `const` or a `static`).
See this [zulip conversation](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/122651-general/topic/Common.20misconception.3A.20.60const.20fn.60.20and.20its.20effect.20on.20codegen/near/208059113) for more details on this common misconception.
Given that none of the linted methods by `or_fun_call` can be called in const contexts, the lint should make no exceptions.

Add `rc_buffer` lint for checking Rc<String> and friends
Fixes#2623
This is a bit different from the original PR attempting to implement this type of lint. Rather than linting against converting into the unwanted types, this PR lints against declaring the unwanted type in a struct or function definition.
I'm reasonably happy with what I have here, although I used the fully qualified type names for the Path and OsString suggestions, and I'm not sure if I should have just used the short versions instead, even if they might not have been declared via use.
Also, I don't know if "buffer type" is the best way to put it or not. Alternatively I could call it a "growable type" or "growable buffer type", but I was thinking of PathBuf when I started making the lint.
