It will also suggest you /// replace `.clone()` calls with the appropriate `.to_owned()`/`to_string()` /// calls. /// /// **Why is this bad?** Requiring the argument to be of the specific size /// makes the function less useful for no benefit; slices in the form of `&[T]` /// or `&str` usually suffice and can be obtained from other types, too. /// /// **Known problems:** The lint does not follow data. So if you have an /// argument `x` and write `let y = x; y.clone()` the lint will not suggest /// changing that `.clone()` to `.to_owned()`. /// /// Other functions called from this function taking a `&String` or `&Vec` /// argument may also fail to compile if you change the argument. Applying /// this lint on them will fix the problem, but they may be in other crates. /// /// Also there may be `fn(&Vec)`-typed references pointing to your function. /// If you have them, you will get a compiler error after applying this lint's /// suggestions. You then have the choice to undo your changes or change the /// type of the reference. /// /// Note that if the function is part of your public interface, there may be /// other crates referencing it you may not be aware. Carefully deprecate the /// function before applying the lint suggestions in this case. /// /// **Example:** /// ```rust /// fn foo(&Vec) { .. } /// ``` declare_clippy_lint! { pub PTR_ARG, style, "fn arguments of the type `&Vec<...>` or `&String`, suggesting to use `&[...]` or `&str` \ instead, respectively" } /// **What it does:** This lint checks for equality comparisons with `ptr::null` /// /// **Why is this bad?** It's easier and more readable to use the inherent /// `.is_null()` /// method instead /// /// **Known problems:** None. /// /// **Example:** /// ```rust /// if x == ptr::null { .. } /// ``` declare_clippy_lint! { pub CMP_NULL, style, "comparing a pointer to a null pointer, suggesting to use `.is_null()` instead." } /// **What it does:** This lint checks for functions that take immutable /// references and return /// mutable ones. /// /// **Why is this bad?** This is trivially unsound, as one can create two /// mutable references /// from the same (immutable!) source. This /// [error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/39465) /// actually lead to an interim Rust release 1.15.1. /// /// **Known problems:** To be on the conservative side, if there's at least one /// mutable reference /// with the output lifetime, this lint will not trigger. In practice, this /// case is unlikely anyway. /// /// **Example:** /// ```rust /// fn foo(&Foo) -> &mut Bar { .. } /// ``` declare_clippy_lint! { pub MUT_FROM_REF, correctness, "fns that create mutable refs from immutable ref args" } #[derive(Copy, Clone)] pub struct PointerPass; impl LintPass for PointerPass { fn get_lints(&self) -> LintArray { lint_array!(PTR_ARG, CMP_NULL, MUT_FROM_REF) } } impl<'a, 'tcx> LateLintPass<'a, 'tcx> for PointerPass { fn check_item(&mut self, cx: &LateContext<'a, 'tcx>, item: &'tcx Item) { if let ItemKind::Fn(ref decl, _, _, body_id) = item.node { check_fn(cx, decl, item.id, Some(body_id)); } } fn check_impl_item(&mut self, cx: &LateContext<'a, 'tcx>, item: &'tcx ImplItem) { if let ImplItemKind::Method(ref sig, body_id) = item.node { if let Some(NodeItem(it)) = cx.tcx.hir.find(cx.tcx.hir.get_parent(item.id)) { if let ItemKind::Impl(_, _, _, _, Some(_), _, _) = it.node { return; // ignore trait impls } } check_fn(cx, &sig.decl, item.id, Some(body_id)); } } fn check_trait_item(&mut self, cx: &LateContext<'a, 'tcx>, item: &'tcx TraitItem) { if let TraitItemKind::Method(ref sig, ref trait_method) = item.node { let body_id = if let TraitMethod::Provided(b) = *trait_method { Some(b) } else { None }; check_fn(cx, &sig.decl, item.id, body_id); } } fn check_expr(&mut self, cx: &LateContext<'a, 'tcx>, expr: &'tcx Expr) { if let ExprKind::Binary(ref op, ref l, ref r) = expr.node { if (op.node == BinOpKind::Eq || op.node == BinOpKind::Ne) && (is_null_path(l) || is_null_path(r)) { span_lint( cx, CMP_NULL, expr.span, "Comparing with null is better expressed by the .is_null() method", ); } } } } fn check_fn(cx: &LateContext, decl: &FnDecl, fn_id: NodeId, opt_body_id: Option) { let fn_def_id = cx.tcx.hir.local_def_id(fn_id); let sig = cx.tcx.fn_sig(fn_def_id); let fn_ty = sig.skip_binder(); for (idx, (arg, ty)) in decl.inputs.iter().zip(fn_ty.inputs()).enumerate() { if let ty::TyRef( _, ty, MutImmutable ) = ty.sty { if match_type(cx, ty, &paths::VEC) { let mut ty_snippet = None; if_chain!
