|
A collection of lints that give helpful tips to newbies and catch oversights.
|
|
|
|
##Lints
|
|
Lints included in this crate:
|
|
|
|
- `single_match`: Warns when a match statement with a single nontrivial arm (i.e, where the other arm is `_ => {}`) is used, and recommends `if let` instead.
|
|
- `box_vec`: Warns on usage of `Box<Vec<T>>`
|
|
- `linkedlist`: Warns on usage of `LinkedList`
|
|
- `str_to_string`: Warns on usage of `str::to_string()`
|
|
- `toplevel_ref_arg`: Warns when a function argument is declared `ref` (i.e. `fn foo(ref x: u8)`, but not `fn foo((ref x, ref y): (u8, u8))`)
|
|
- `eq_op`: Warns on equal operands on both sides of a comparison or bitwise combination
|
|
- `bad_bit_mask`: Denies expressions of the form `_ & mask == select` that will only ever return `true` or `false` (because in the example `select` containing bits that `mask` doesn't have)
|
|
- `ineffective_bit_mask`: Warns on expressions where a bit mask will be rendered useless by a comparison, e.g. `(x | 1) > 2`
|
|
- `needless_bool` : Warns on if-statements with plain booleans in the then- and else-clause, e.g. `if p { true } else { false }`
|
|
- `ptr_arg`: Warns on fn arguments of the type `&Vec<...>` or `&String`, suggesting to use `&[...]` or `&str` instead, respectively
|
|
- `approx_constant`: Warns if the approximate of a known float constant (in `std::f64::consts` or `std::f32::consts`) is found and suggests to use the constant
|
|
- `cmp_nan`: Denies comparisons to NAN (which will always return false, which is probably not intended)
|
|
- `float_cmp`: Warns on `==` or `!=` comparisons of floaty typed values. As floating-point operations usually involve rounding errors, it is always better to check for approximate equality within some small bounds
|
|
- `precedence`: Warns on expressions where precedence may trip up the unwary reader of the source and suggests adding parenthesis, e.g. `x << 2 + y` will be parsed as `x << (2 + y)`
|
|
- `redundant_closure`: Warns on usage of eta-reducible closures like `|a| foo(a)` (which can be written as just `foo`)
|
|
- `identity_op`: Warns on identity operations like `x + 0` or `y / 1` (which can be reduced to `x` and `y`, respectively)
|
|
- `mut_mut`: Warns on `&mut &mut` which is either a copy'n'paste error, or shows a fundamental misunderstanding of references
|
|
- `len_zero`: Warns on `_.len() == 0` and suggests using `_.is_empty()` (or similar comparisons with `>` or `!=`)
|
|
- `len_without_is_empty`: Warns on traits or impls that have a `.len()` but no `.is_empty()` method
|
|
- `cmp_owned`: Warns on creating owned instances for comparing with others, e.g. `x == "foo".to_string()`
|
|
|
|
To use, add the following lines to your Cargo.toml:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
clippy = "*"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
More to come, please [file an issue](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/issues) if you have ideas!
|
|
|
|
##Usage
|
|
Add in your `Cargo.toml`:
|
|
```toml
|
|
[dependencies.clippy]
|
|
git = "https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Sample `main.rs`:
|
|
```rust
|
|
#![feature(plugin)]
|
|
|
|
#![plugin(clippy)]
|
|
|
|
|
|
fn main(){
|
|
let x = Some(1u8);
|
|
match x {
|
|
Some(y) => println!("{:?}", y),
|
|
_ => ()
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Produce this warning:
|
|
```
|
|
src/main.rs:8:5: 11:6 warning: You seem to be trying to use match for destructuring a single type. Did you mean to use `if let`?, #[warn(single_match)] on by default
|
|
src/main.rs:8 match x {
|
|
src/main.rs:9 Some(y) => println!("{:?}", y),
|
|
src/main.rs:10 _ => ()
|
|
src/main.rs:11 }
|
|
src/main.rs:8:5: 11:6 note: Try if let Some(y) = x { ... }
|
|
src/main.rs:8 match x {
|
|
src/main.rs:9 Some(y) => println!("{:?}", y),
|
|
src/main.rs:10 _ => ()
|
|
src/main.rs:11 }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can add options to `allow`/`warn`/`deny`:
|
|
- the whole set using the `clippy` lint group (`#![deny(clippy)]`, etc)
|
|
- only some lints (`#![deny(single_match, box_vec)]`, etc)
|
|
- `allow`/`warn`/`deny` can be limited to a single function or module using `#[allow(...)]`, etc
|
|
|
|
*`deny` produces error instead of warnings*
