rust/src/bit_mask.rs

//! Checks for incompatible bit masks in comparisons, e.g. `x & 1 == 2`. This cannot work because the bit that makes up
//! the value two was zeroed out by the bit-and with 1. So the formula for detecting if an expression of the type 
//! `_ <bit_op> m <cmp_op> c` (where `<bit_op>` is one of {`&`, '|'} and `<cmp_op>` is one of {`!=`, `>=`, `>` ,`!=`, `>=`, 
//! `>`}) can be determined from the following table:
//! 
//! |Comparison  |Bit-Op|Example     |is always|Formula               |
//! |------------|------|------------|---------|----------------------|
//! |`==` or `!=`| `&`  |`x & 2 == 3`|`false`  |`c & m != c`          |
//! |`<`  or `>=`| `&`  |`x & 2 < 3` |`true`   |`m < c`               |
//! |`>`  or `<=`| `&`  |`x & 1 > 1` |`false`  |`m <= c`              |
//! |`==` or `!=`| `|`  |`x | 1 == 0`|`false`  |`c | m != c`          |
//! |`<`  or `>=`| `|`  |`x | 1 < 1` |`false`  |`m >= c`			  |
//! |`<=` or `>` | `|`  |`x | 1 > 0` |`true`   |`m > c`               |
//! 
//! *TODO*: There is the open question if things like `x | 1 > 1` should be caught by this lint, because it is basically
//! an obfuscated version of `x > 1`.
//! 
//! This lint is **deny** by default
