Remove `weak` alias terminology
I find the "weak" alias terminology to be quite confusing. It implies the existence of "strong" aliases (which do not exist) and I'm not really sure what about weak aliases is "weak". I much prefer "free alias" as the term. I think it's much more obvious what it means as "free function" is a well defined term that already exists in rust.
It's also a little confusing given "weak alias" is already a term in linker/codegen spaces which are part of the compiler too. Though I'm not particularly worried about that as it's usually very obvious if you're talking about the type system or not lol. I'm also currently trying to write documentation about aliases and it's somewhat awkward/confusing to be talking about *weak* aliases, when I'm not really sure what the basis for that as the term actually *is*.
I would also be happy to just find out there's a nice meaning behind calling them "weak" aliases :-)

maybe we want a types MCP to decide on a specific naming here? or maybe we think its just too late to go back on this naming decision ^^'
Closesrust-lang/rust-clippy#14577.
Migrate this lint to late pass and avoids `unit_never_type_fallback`
since it is no longer permitted in Rust 2024.
changelog: [`unused_unit`] fix wrong suggestions when unit never type
fallback
here is my small fix
changelog: fix suggestion span to avoid showing macro name in
`.div_ceil()` suggestion
i changed this line
`let divisor_snippet = snippet_with_applicability(cx,
rhs.spansource_callsite(), "..", applicability);`
to this line
`let divisor_snippet = snippet_with_applicability(cx, rhs.span, "..",
applicability);`
to fix problem where this warning in macro expands like this
```rust
4 | let _ = (x + 7) / 8;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^ help: consider using `.div_ceil()`: `x.div_ceil(y!())`
```
[play it
yourself](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2024&gist=397aa8cd2ffffb24a286fbddbc75446c)
as you can see here it looks like `x.div_ceil(y!())` and contains macro
signature
so i fixed this problem, i will look closely if there any more problems
like this and fix them in order

`cargo dev fmt` seems to not work for some reason (possibly because of
all the comments in the let-chain), so I formatted it manually -- I hope
it's right
changelog: none
`ptr_eq` was recently enhanced to lint on more cases of raw pointers
comparison:
- lint on all raw pointer comparison, by proposing to use
`[core|std]::ptr::eq(lhs, rhs)` instead of `lhs == rhs`;
- removing one symetric `as usize` on each size if needed
- peeling any level of `as *[const|mut] _` if the remaining expression
can still be coerced into the original one (i.e., is a ref or raw
pointer to the same type as before)
The current change restricts the lint to the cases where at least one
level of symetric `as usize`, or any conversion to a raw pointer, could
be removed. For example, a direct comparaison of two raw pointers will
not trigger the lint anymore.
changelog: [`ptr_eq`]: do not lint when comparing two raw pointers
directly with no casts involved
Fixesrust-lang/rust-clippy#14525
Closes#9191Closes#14444Closes#8055
Adds a new helper to partly check for side effects by recursively
checking if the iterator type contains closures with mutable captures.
changelog: [`double_ended_iterator_last`] fix FP when iter has side
effects
changelog: [`needless_collect`] fix lint not consider side effects
While I like replacing `&x` by `&raw const x` and `&mut x` by `&raw mut
x`, I'm less sure I like the suggested reborrows such as `&raw const
*p`. There was one in Clippy sources, see the PR diff.
@RalfJung, any opinion on this?
Fix#14406
changelog: [`borrow_as_ptr`]: lint implicit casts as well
