new lint: `only_used_in_recursion`
changed:
- added `only_used_in_recursion`.
- fixed code that variables are only used in recursion.
- this would not lint when `unused_variable`
This fixes: #8390

changelog: add lint [`only_used_in_recursion`]
Llint for casting between raw slice pointers with different element sizes
This lint disallows using `as` to convert from a raw pointer to a slice (e.g. `*const [i32]`, `*mut [Foo]`) to any other raw pointer to a slice if the element types have different sizes. When a raw slice pointer is cast, the data pointer and count metadata are preserved. This means that when the size of the inner slice's element type changes, the total number of bytes pointed to by the count changes. For example a `*const [i32]` with length 4 (four `i32` elements) is cast `as *const [u8]` the resulting pointer points to four `u8` elements at the same address, losing most of the data. When the size *increases* the resulting pointer will point to *more* data, and accessing that data will be UB.
On its own, *producing* the pointer isn't actually a problem, but because any use of the pointer as a slice will either produce surprising behavior or cause UB I believe this is a correctness lint. If the pointer is not intended to be used as a slice, the user should instead use any of a number of methods to produce just a data pointer including an `as` cast to a thin pointer (e.g. `p as *const i32`) or if the pointer is being created from a slice, the `as_ptr` method on slices. Detecting the intended use of the pointer is outside the scope of this lint, but I believe this lint will also lead users to realize that a slice pointer is only for slices.
There is an exception to this lint when either of the slice element types are zero sized (e.g `*mut [()]`). The total number of bytes pointed to by the slice with a zero sized element is zero. In that case preserving the length metadata is likely intended as a workaround to get the length metadata of a slice pointer though a zero sized slice.
The lint does not forbid casting pointers to slices with the *same* element size as the cast was likely intended to reinterpret the data in the slice as some equivalently sized data and the resulting pointer will behave as intended.

changelog: Added ``[`cast_slice_different_sizes`]``, a lint that disallows using `as`-casts to convert between raw pointers to slices when the elements have different sizes.
Only point at the end of the crate. We could try making it point at the
beginning of the crate, but that is confused with `DUMMY_SP`, causing
the output to be *worse*.
This change will make it so that VSCode will *not* underline the whole
file when `main` is missing, so other errors will be visible.
Add lint to detect `allow` attributes without reason
I was considering putting this lint into the pedantic group. However, that would result in countless warnings for existing projects. Having it in restriction also seems good to me 🙃 (And now I need sleep 💤 )
---
changelog: New lint [`allow_lint_without_reason`] (Requires the `lint_reasons` feature)
Closes: rust-lang/rust-clippy#8502
Add `unnecessary_find_map` lint
This PR adds an `unnecessary_find_map` lint. It is essentially just a minor enhancement of `unnecessary_filter_map`.
Closes#8467
changelog: New lint `unnecessary_find_map`
new lint: `missing-spin-loop`
This fixes#7809. I went with the shorter name because the function is called `std::hint::spin_loop`. It doesn't yet detect `while let` loops. I left that for a follow-up PR.
---
changelog: new lint: [`missing_spin_loop`]
This internal lint checks if the `extract_msrv_attrs!` macro is used if
a lint has a MSRV. If not, it suggests to add this attribute to the lint
pass implementation.
fix false positives of large_enum_variant
fixes: #8321
The size of enums containing generic type was calculated to be 0.
I changed [large_enum_variant] so that such enums are not linted.
changelog: none
tests: default to more threads for ui-tests

Don't lint `match` expressions with `cfg`ed arms
Somehow there are no open issues related to this for any of the affected lints. At least none that I could fine from a quick search.

Fix `await_holding_lock` not linting `parking_lot` Mutex/RwLock
This adds tests for `RwLock` and `parking_lot::{Mutex, RwLock}`, which were added before in 2dc8c083f5, but never tested in UI tests. I noticed this while reading [fasterthanli.me](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/a-rust-match-made-in-hell) latest blog post, complaining that Clippy doesn't catch this for `parking_lot`. (Too many people read his blog, he's too powerful)
Some more things:
- Adds a test for #6446
- Improves the lint message
changelog: [`await_holding_lock`]: Now also lints for `parking_lot::{Mutex, RwLock}`
Improve `redundant_slicing` lint
fixes#7972fixes#7257
This can supersede #7976
changelog: Fix suggestion for `redundant_slicing` when re-borrowing for a method call
changelog: New lint `deref_as_slicing`
Don't lint `needless_borrow` in method receiver positions
fixes#8408fixes#8407fixes#8391fixes#8367fixes#8380
This is a temporary fix for `needless_borrow`. The proper fix is included in #8355.
This should probably be merged into rustc before beta branches on Friday. This issue has been reported six or seven times in the past couple of weeks.
changelog: Fix various issues with `needless_borrow` n´. Note to changelog writer: those issues might have been introduced in this release cycle, so this might not matter in the changelog.
Don't lint Default::default if it is the udpate syntax base
changelog: Don't lint `Default::default` it is part of the update syntax
Current clippy warns about this:
```
warning: calling `Foo::default()` is more clear than this expression
--> src/main.rs:12:11
|
12 | ..Default::default()
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: try: `Foo::default()`
|
```
With these changes, it will not lint that particular expression anymore.
The to_string_in_display lint is renamed to recursive_format_impl
A check is added for the use of self formatted with Display or Debug
inside any format string in the same impl
The to_string_in_display check is kept as is - like in the
format_in_format_args lint
For now only Display and Debug are checked
This could also be extended to other Format traits (Binary, etc.)
