A collection of lints to catch common mistakes and improve your Rust code.
Table of contents:
There are 149 lints included in this crate:
name | default | meaning

Compiler plugins are highly unstable and will only work with a nightly Rust for now. Since stable Rust is backwards compatible, you should be able to compile your stable programs with nightly Rust with clippy plugged in to circumvent this.
Add in your Cargo.toml:
toml
[dependencies]
clippy = "*"
You then need to add #![feature(plugin)] and #![plugin(clippy)] to the top
of your crate entry point (main.rs or lib.rs).
Sample main.rs:
```rust
fn main(){ let x = Some(1u8); match x { Some(y) => println!("{:?}", y), _ => () } } ```
Produces this warning:
terminal
src/main.rs:8:5: 11:6 warning: you seem to be trying to use match for destructuring a single type. Consider using `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 help: Try
if let Some(y) = x { println!("{:?}", y) }
cargo clippy)An alternate way to use clippy is by installing clippy through cargo as a cargo subcommand.
terminal
cargo install clippy
Now you can run clippy by invoking cargo clippy, or
multirust run nightly cargo clippy directly from a directory that is usually
compiled with stable.
In case you are not using multirust, you need to set the environment flag
SYSROOT during installation so clippy knows where to find librustc and
similar crates.
terminal
SYSROOT=/path/to/rustc/sysroot cargo install clippy
You can add options to allow/warn/deny:
the whole set of Warn lints using the clippy lint group (#![deny(clippy)])
all lints using both the clippy and clippy_pedantic lint groups (#![deny(clippy)],
#![deny(clippy_pedantic)]). Note that clippy_pedantic contains some very aggressive
lints prone to false positives.
only some lints (#![deny(single_match, box_vec)], etc)
allow/warn/deny can be limited to a single function or module using #[allow(...)], etc
Note: deny produces errors instead of warnings
To have cargo compile your crate with clippy without needing #![plugin(clippy)]
in your code, you can use:
terminal
cargo rustc -- -L /path/to/clippy_so -Z extra-plugins=clippy
Note: Be sure that clippy was compiled with the same version of rustc that cargo invokes here!
If you want to make clippy an optional dependency, you can do the following:
In your Cargo.toml:
```toml [dependencies] clippy = {version = "*", optional = true}
[features] default=[] ```
And, in your main.rs or lib.rs:
```rust
```
Instead of adding the cfg_attr attributes you can also run clippy on demand:
cargo rustc --features clippy -- -Z no-trans -Z extra-plugins=clippy
(the -Z no trans, while not neccessary, will stop the compilation process after
typechecking (and lints) have completed, which can significantly reduce the runtime).
Some lints can be configured in a clippy.toml file. It contains basic variable = value mapping eg.
toml
blacklisted-names = ["toto", "tata", "titi"]
cyclomatic-complexity-threshold = 30
See the wiki for more information about which lints can be configured and the meaning of the variables.
You can also specify the path to the configuration file with:
```rust
```
clippy-service is a rust web initiative providing rust-clippy as a web service.
Both projects are independent and maintained by different people
(even if some clippy-service's contributions are authored by some rust-clippy members).
You can check out this great service at clippy.bashy.io.
