The `restriction` group contains many lints which are not about
necessarily “bad” things, but style choices — perhaps even style choices
which contradict conventional Rust style — or are otherwise very
situational. This results in silly wording like “Why is this bad?
It isn't, but ...”, which I’ve seen confuse a newcomer at least once.
To improve this situation, this commit replaces the “Why is this bad?”
section heading with “Why restrict this?”, for most, but not all,
restriction lints. I left alone the ones whose placement in the
restriction group is more incidental.
In order to make this make sense, I had to remove the “It isn't, but”
texts from the contents of the sections. Sometimes further changes
were needed, or there were obvious fixes to make, and I went ahead
and made those changes without attempting to split them into another
commit, even though many of them are not strictly necessary for the
“Why restrict this?” project.
Implement https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/8368 - a new
lint to inline format arguments such as `print!("{}", var)` into
`print!("{var}")`.
code | suggestion | comment
---|---|---
`print!("{}", var)` | `print!("{var}")` | simple variables
`print!("{0}", var)` | `print!("{var}")` | positional variables
`print!("{v}", v=var)` | `print!("{var}")` | named variables
`print!("{0} {0}", var)` | `print!("{var} {var}")` | aliased variables
`print!("{0:1$}", var, width)` | `print!("{var:width$}")` | width
support
`print!("{0:.1$}", var, prec)` | `print!("{var:.prec$}")` | precision
support
`print!("{:.*}", prec, var)` | `print!("{var:.prec$}")` | asterisk
support
code | suggestion | comment
---|---|---
`print!("{0}={1}", var, 1+2)` | `print!("{var}={0}", 1+2)` | Format
string uses an indexed argument that cannot be inlined. Supporting this
case requires re-indexing of the format string.
changelog: [`uninlined_format_args`]: A new lint to inline format
arguments, i.e. `print!("{}", var)` into `print!("{var}")`
Add new lint [`positional_named_format_parameters`]
*Please write a short comment explaining your change (or "none" for internal only changes)*
changelog: Add new lint [`positional_named_format_parameters`] to warn when named parameters in format strings are used as positional arguments.
- Rename `ast::Lit::token` as `ast::Lit::token_lit`, because its type is
`token::Lit`, which is not a token. (This has been confusing me for a
long time.)
reasonable because we have an `ast::token::Lit` inside an `ast::Lit`.
- Rename `LitKind::{from,to}_lit_token` as
`LitKind::{from,to}_token_lit`, to match the above change and
`token::Lit`.
Address issue #99265 by checking each positionally used argument
to see if the argument is named and adding a lint to use the name
instead. This way, when named arguments are used positionally in a
different order than their argument order, the suggested lint is
correct.
For example:
```
println!("{b} {}", a=1, b=2);
```
This will now generate the suggestion:
```
println!("{b} {a}", a=1, b=2);
```
Additionally, this check now also correctly replaces or inserts
only where the positional argument is (or would be if implicit).
Also, width and precision are replaced with their argument names
when they exists.
Since the issues were so closely related, this fix for issue #99265
also fixes issue #99266.
