New lint: detect `if` expressions with simple boolean assignments to the same target
Closes#10430
changelog: [`needless_bool_assign`] new lint to detect simple boolean assignment to the same target in `if` branches
Because the `if .. {}` statement already puts the condition in
expression scope, contained blocks would be parsed as complete
statements, so any `&` binary expression whose left operand ended in a
block would lead to a non-compiling suggestion.
This adds a visitor to identify such expressions and add parentheses.
This fixes#8052.
So, some context for this, well, more a story. I'm not used to scripting, I've never really scripted anything, even if it's a valuable skill. I just never really needed it. Now, `@flip1995` correctly suggested using a script for this in `rust-clippy#7813`...
And I decided to write a script using nushell because why not? This was a mistake... I spend way more time on this than I would like to admit. It has definitely been more than 4 hours. It shouldn't take that long, but me being new to scripting and nushell just wasn't a good mixture... Anyway, here is the script that creates another script which adds the versions. Fun...
Just execute this on the `gh-pages` branch and the resulting `replacer.sh` in `clippy_lints` and it should all work.
```nu
mv v0.0.212 rust-1.00.0;
mv beta rust-1.57.0;
mv master rust-1.58.0;
let paths = (open ./rust-1.58.0/lints.json | select id id_span | flatten | select id path);
let versions = (
ls | where name =~ "rust-" | select name | format {name}/lints.json |
each { open $it | select id | insert version $it | str substring "5,11" version} |
group-by id | rotate counter-clockwise id version |
update version {get version | first 1} | flatten | select id version);
$paths | each { |row|
let version = ($versions | where id == ($row.id) | format {version})
let idu = ($row.id | str upcase)
$"sed -i '0,/($idu),/{s/pub ($idu),/#[clippy::version = "($version)"]\n pub ($idu),/}' ($row.path)"
} | str collect ";" | str find-replace --all '1.00.0' 'pre 1.29.0' | save "replacer.sh";
```
And this still has some problems, but at this point I just want to be done -.-
This renames the variants in HIR UnOp from
enum UnOp {
UnDeref,
UnNot,
UnNeg,
}
to
enum UnOp {
Deref,
Not,
Neg,
}
Motivations:
- This is more consistent with the rest of the code base where most enum
variants don't have a prefix.
- These variants are never used without the `UnOp` prefix so the extra
`Un` prefix doesn't help with readability. E.g. we don't have any
`UnDeref`s in the code, we only have `UnOp::UnDeref`.
- MIR `UnOp` type variants don't have a prefix so this is more
consistent with MIR types.
- "un" prefix reads like "inverse" or "reverse", so as a beginner in
rustc code base when I see "UnDeref" what comes to my mind is
something like "&*" instead of just "*".
