new lint: `single_char_lifetime_names`
This pull request adds a lint against single character lifetime names, as they might not divulge enough information about the purpose of the lifetime. This can make code harder to understand. I placed this in `restriction` rather than `pedantic` (as suggested in #8233) since most of the Rust ecosystem already uses single character lifetime names (to my knowledge, at least) and since single character lifetime names aren't incorrect. I'd be happy to change this upon request, however. Fixes#8233.

Remove in_macro from clippy_utils
changelog: none
Previously done in #7897 but reverted in #8170. I'd like to keep `in_macro` out of utils because if a span is from expansion in any way (desugaring or macro), we should not proceed without understanding the nature of the expansion IMO.
r? `@llogiq`
changelog: none
Sorry, this is a big one. A lot of interrelated changes and I wanted to put the new utils to use to make sure they are somewhat battle-tested. We may want to divide some of the lint-specific refactoring commits into batches for smaller reviewing tasks. I could also split into more PRs.
Introduces a bunch of new utils at `clippy_utils::macros::...`. Please read through the docs and give any feedback! I'm happy to introduce `MacroCall` and various functions to retrieve an instance. It feels like the missing puzzle piece. I'm also introducing `ExpnId` from rustc as "useful for Clippy too". `@rust-lang/clippy`
Fixes#7843 by not parsing every node of macro implementations, at least the major offenders.
I probably want to get rid of `is_expn_of` at some point.
wrong_self_convention: Match `SelfKind::No` more restrictively
The `wrong_self_convention` lint uses a `SelfKind` type to decide
whether a method has the right kind of "self" for its name, or whether
the kind of "self" it has makes its name confusable for a method in
a common trait. One possibility is `SelfKind::No`, which is supposed
to mean "No `self`".
Previously, SelfKind::No matched everything _except_ Self, including
references to Self. This patch changes it to match Self, &Self, &mut
Self, Box<Self>, and so on.
For example, this kind of method was allowed before:
```
impl S {
// Should trigger the lint, because
// "methods called `is_*` usually take `self` by reference or no `self`"
fn is_foo(&mut self) -> bool { todo!() }
}
```
But since SelfKind::No matched "&mut self", no lint was triggered
(see #8142).
With this patch, the code above now gives a lint as expected.

changelog: [`unused_io_amount`]: Improve help text
Clippy helpfully warns about code like this, telling you that you
probably meant "write_all":
fn say_hi<W:Write>(w: &mut W) {
w.write(b"hello").unwrap();
}
This patch attempts to extend the lint so it also covers this
case:
async fn say_hi<W:AsyncWrite>(w: &mut W) {
w.write(b"hello").await.unwrap();
}
(I've run into this second case several times in my own programming,
and so have my coworkers, so unless we're especially accident-prone
in this area, it's probably worth addressing?)
This patch covers the Async{Read,Write}Ext traits in futures-rs,
and in tokio, since both are quite widely used.
changelog: [`unused_io_amount`] now supports AsyncReadExt and AsyncWriteExt.

I fixed the original problem as described in the issue, but the bug remains for complex expressions (the commented out TC I added is an example).

Fix `enum_variants` FP on prefixes that are not camel-case
closes#8090
Fix FP on `enum_variants` when prefixes are only a substring of a camel-case word. Also adds some util helpers on `str_utils` to help parsing camel-case strings.
This changes how the lint behaves:
1. previously if the Prefix is only a length of 1, it's going to get ignored, i.e. these were previously ignored and now is warned
```rust
enum Foo {
cFoo,
cBar,
cBaz,
}
enum Something {
CCall,
CCreate,
CCryogenize,
}
```
2. non-ascii characters that doesn't have casing will not be split,
```rust
enum NonCaps {
PrefixXXX,
PrefixTea,
PrefixCake,
}
```
will be considered as `PrefixXXX`, `Prefix`, `Prefix`, so this won't lint as opposed to fired previously.
changelog: [`enum_variant_names`] Fix FP when first prefix are only a substring of a camel-case word.

(Edited by `@xFrednet` removed some non ascii characters)
closes#8177
previously, `needless_return` suggests an empty block `{}` to replace void `return` on match arms, this PR improve the suggestion by suggesting a unit instead.
changelog: `needless_return` suggests `()` instead of `{}` on match arms
`enum_variant_names` will consider characters with no case to be a part
of prefixes/suffixes substring that are compared. This means `Foo1` and
`Foo2` has different prefixes (`Foo1` and `Foo2` prefix respeectively).
This applies to all non-ascii characters with no casing.
fix an ICE on unwrapping a None
This very likely fixes#8166 though I wasn't able to meaningfully reduce a test case. This line is the only call to `unwrap` within that function, which was the one in the stack trace that triggered the ICE, so I think we'll be OK.

Fix `SAFETY` comment tag casing in undocumented_unsafe_blocks
This changes the lint introduced in #7748 to suggest adding a `SAFETY` comment instead of a `Safety` comment.
Searching for `// Safety:` in rust-lang/rust yields 67 results while `// SAFETY:` yields 1072.
I think it's safe to say that this comment tag is written in upper case, just like `TODO`, `FIXME` and so on are. As such I would expect this lint to follow the official convention as well.
Note that I intentionally introduced some casing diversity in `tests/ui/undocumented_unsafe_blocks.rs` to test more cases than just `Safety:`.
changelog: Capitalize `SAFETY` comment in [`undocumented_unsafe_blocks`]

Implement let-else type annotations natively
Tracking issue: #87335Fixes#89688, fixes#89807, edit: fixes #89960 as well
As explained in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/89688#issuecomment-940405082, the previous desugaring moved the let-else scrutinee into a dummy variable, which meant if you wanted to refer to it again in the else block, it had moved.
This introduces a new hir type, ~~`hir::LetExpr`~~ `hir::Let`, which takes over all the fields of `hir::ExprKind::Let(...)` and adds an optional type annotation. The `hir::Let` is then treated like a `hir::Local` when type checking a function body, specifically:
* `GatherLocalsVisitor` overrides a new `Visitor::visit_let_expr` and does pretty much exactly what it does for `visit_local`, assigning a local type to the `hir::Let` ~~(they could be deduplicated but they are right next to each other, so at least we know they're the same)~~
* It reuses the code in `check_decl_local` to typecheck the `hir::Let`, simply returning 'bool' for the expression type after doing that.
* ~~`FnCtxt::check_expr_let` passes this local type in to `demand_scrutinee_type`, and then imitates check_decl_local's pattern checking~~
* ~~`demand_scrutinee_type` (the blindest change for me, please give this extra scrutiny) uses this local type instead of of creating a new one~~
* ~~Just realised the `check_expr_with_needs` was passing NoExpectation further down, need to pass the type there too. And apparently this Expectation API already exists.~~
Some other misc notes:
* ~~Is the clippy code supposed to be autoformatted? I tried not to give huge diffs but maybe some rustfmt changes simply haven't hit it yet.~~
* in `rustc_ast_lowering/src/block.rs`, I noticed some existing `self.alias_attrs()` calls in `LoweringContext::lower_stmts` seem to be copying attributes from the lowered locals/etc to the statements. Is that right? I'm new at this, I don't know.
By changing `as_str()` to take `&self` instead of `self`, we can just
return `&str`. We're still lying about lifetimes, but it's a smaller lie
than before, where `SymbolStr` contained a (fake) `&'static str`!
Stabilize `iter::zip`
Hello all!
As the tracking issue (#83574) for `iter::zip` completed the final commenting period without any concerns being raised, I hereby submit this stabilization PR on the issue.
As the pull request that introduced the feature (#82917) states, the `iter::zip` function is a shorter way to zip two iterators. As it's generally a quality-of-life/ergonomic improvement, it has been integrated into the codebase without any trouble, and has been
used in many places across the rust compiler and standard library since March without any issues.
For more details, I would refer to `@cuviper's` original PR, or the [function's documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/fn.zip.html).

Add new lint to warn when #[must_use] attribute should be used on a method
This lint is somewhat similar to https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#must_use_candidate but also different: it emits a warning by default and only targets methods (so not functions nor associated functions).
Someone suggested it to me after this tweet: https://twitter.com/m_ou_se/status/1466439813230477312
I think it would reduce the number of cases of API misuses quite a lot.

Parenthesize blocks in `needless_bool` suggestion
Because the `if .. {}` statement already puts the condition in expression scope, contained blocks would be parsed as complete

We identify such expressions and add parentheses. Note that we don't make a difference between normal and unsafe blocks because the parsing problems are the same for both.

This is almost a behaviour-free change and purely a refactoring. "almost" because we appear to be using the wrong ParamEnv somewhere already, and this is now exposed by failing a test using the unstable `~const` feature.

This is merging `needless_borrow` into the `dereference` pass in preparation for `explicit_auto_deref`. `explicit_auto_deref` needs to implement most of what `needless_borrow` implements in order to work.
There is a minor regression here where `let x: &str = &x.deref()` will trigger `needless_borrow` without triggering `explicit_deref_methods`. Removing the redundant borrow will cause `explicit_deref_methods` to trigger. This will be fixed when `explicit_auto_deref` is implemented.

Add Clippy version to Clippy's lint list
Hey, hey, the semester is finally over, and I wanted to get back into hacking on Clippy. It has also been some time since our metadata collection monster has been feed. So, this PR adds a new attribute `clippy::version` to document which version a lint was stabilized. I considered using `git blame` but that would be very hacky and probably not accurate.
I'm also thinking that this attribute can be used to have a `clippy::nightly` lint group which is allow-by-default that delays setting the actual lint group until the defined version is reached. Just something to consider regarding #6623🙃
This PR only adds the version to 4 lints to keep it reviewable. I'll do a followup PR to add the version to other lints if the implementation is accepted 🙃
Also, mobile approved xD

This commit adds a `no_std` and `no_core` check on `swap` lint and additionally suggest `core::mem::swap` whenever possible.
Remove warning if both `std` and `core` is not present.
So, some context for this, well, more a story. I'm not used to scripting, I've never really scripted anything, even if it's a valuable skill. I just never really needed it. Now, `@flip1995` correctly suggested using a script for this in `rust-clippy#7813`...
And I decided to write a script using nushell because why not? This was a mistake... I spend way more time on this than I would like to admit. It has definitely been more than 4 hours. It shouldn't take that long, but me being new to scripting and nushell just wasn't a good mixture... Anyway, here is the script that creates another script which adds the versions. Fun...
Just execute this on the `gh-pages` branch and the resulting `replacer.sh` in `clippy_lints` and it should all work.
```nu
mv v0.0.212 rust-1.00.0;
mv beta rust-1.57.0;
mv master rust-1.58.0;
let paths = (open ./rust-1.58.0/lints.json | select id id_span | flatten | select id path);
let versions = (
ls | where name =~ "rust-" | select name | format {name}/lints.json |
each { open $it | select id | insert version $it | str substring "5,11" version} |
group-by id | rotate counter-clockwise id version |
update version {get version | first 1} | flatten | select id version);
$paths | each { |row|
let version = ($versions | where id == ($row.id) | format {version})
let idu = ($row.id | str upcase)
$"sed -i '0,/($idu),/{s/pub ($idu),/#[clippy::version = "($version)"]\n pub ($idu),/}' ($row.path)"
} | str collect ";" | str find-replace --all '1.00.0' 'pre 1.29.0' | save "replacer.sh";
```
And this still has some problems, but at this point I just want to be done -.-

Type inference for inline consts
Fixes#78132Fixes#78174Fixes#81857Fixes#89964
Perform type checking/inference of inline consts in the same context as the outer def, similar to what is currently done to closure.
Doing so would require `closure_base_def_id` of the inline const to return the outer def, and since `closure_base_def_id` can be called on non-local crate (and thus have no HIR available), a new `DefKind` is created for inline consts.
The type of the generated anon const can capture lifetime of outer def, so we couldn't just use the typeck result as the type of the inline const's def. Closure has a similar issue, and it uses extra type params `CK, CS, U` to capture closure kind, input/output signature and upvars. I use a similar approach for inline consts, letting it have an extra type param `R`, and then `typeof(InlineConst<[paremt generics], R>)` would just be `R`. In borrowck region requirements are also propagated to the outer MIR body just like it's currently done for closure.
With this PR, inline consts in expression position are quitely usable now; however the usage in pattern position is still incomplete -- since those does not remain in the MIR borrowck couldn't verify the lifetime there. I have left an ignored test as a FIXME.
