This pull request adds a lint against single character lifetime names, as they might not divulge enough information about the purpose of the lifetime. This can make code harder to understand. I placed this in `restriction` rather than `pedantic` (as suggested in #8233) since most of the Rust ecosystem already uses single character lifetime names (to my knowledge, at least) and since single character lifetime names aren't incorrect. I'd be happy to change this upon request, however. Fixes#8233.

changelog: new lint: [`single_char_lifetime_names`]
This checks for sequences in strings that would be octal character
escapes in C, but are not supported in Rust. It suggests either
to use the `\x00` escape, or an equivalent hex escape if the octal
was intended.
Pluralize `disallowed_type` lint
This was brought up in [Zulip] and is also mentioned in the lint naming
conventions. Since this is still a nursery lint, I think there shouldn't
be any problem in renaming it.
[Zulip]: rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/257328-clippy/topic/disallow_type.20vs.20disallowed-types
changelog: Rename nursery lint [`disallowed_type`] to [`disallowed_types`].
Improve `needless_borrow` lint
fixes: #5327fixes: #1726fixes: #1212
This is merging `needless_borrow` into the `dereference` pass in preparation for `explicit_auto_deref`. `explicit_auto_deref` needs to implement most of what `needless_borrow` implements in order to work.
There is a minor regression here where `let x: &str = &x.deref()` will trigger `needless_borrow` without triggering `explicit_deref_methods`. Removing the redundant borrow will cause `explicit_deref_methods` to trigger. This will be fixed when `explicit_auto_deref` is implemented.
changelog: Lint `needless_borrow` when a borrow is auto-derefed more than once
changelog: Lint `needless_borrow` in the trailing expression of a block for a match arm
* Lint when a borrow is auto dereferenced more than once
* Lint when the expression is used as the expression of a block for a match arm
Moves `needless_borrow` and `ref_binding_to_reference` to `dereference`
lint pass in preperation for `explicit_auto_deref` lint.
Author improvements
changelog: none
Various aspects of the author implementation are re-imagined to be much less repetitive. Also fixes some bugs. I hope this makes author more fun to work on for future contributors.
The last commit is pretty heavy but I tried to at least separate some changes so that the test file diffs per commit are simple.
* Finding pattern slices for `avoidable_slice_indexing`
* `avoidable_slice_indexing` analysing slice usage
* Add configuration to `avoidable_slice_indexing`
* Emitting `avoidable_slice_indexing` with suggestions
* Dogfooding and fixing bugs
* Add ui-toml test for `avoidable_slice_indexing`
* Correctly suggest `ref` keywords for `avoidable_slice_indexing`
* Test and document `mut` for `avoid_slice_indexing`
* Handle macros with `avoidable_slice_indexing` lint
* Ignore slices with sub patterns in `avoidable_slice_indexing`
* Update lint description for `avoidable_slice_indexing`
* Move `avoidable_slice_indexing` to nursery
* Added more tests for `avoidable_slice_indexing`
* Update documentation and message for `avoidable_slice_indexing`
* Teach `avoidable_slice_indexing` about `HirId`s and `Visitors`
* Rename lint to `index_refutable_slice` and connected config
Add Clippy version to Clippy's lint list
Hey, hey, the semester is finally over, and I wanted to get back into hacking on Clippy. It has also been some time since our metadata collection monster has been feed. So, this PR adds a new attribute `clippy::version` to document which version a lint was stabilized. I considered using `git blame` but that would be very hacky and probably not accurate.
I'm also thinking that this attribute can be used to have a `clippy::nightly` lint group which is allow-by-default that delays setting the actual lint group until the defined version is reached. Just something to consider regarding #6623🙃
This PR only adds the version to 4 lints to keep it reviewable. I'll do a followup PR to add the version to other lints if the implementation is accepted 🙃

Also, mobile approved xD

cc: #7172closes: #6492
changelog: [Clippy's lint list](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html) now displays the version a lint was added. 🎉

Example lint declaration after this update:
```rs
declare_clippy_lint! {
/// [...]
///
/// ### Example
/// ```rust
/// // Bad
/// let x = 3.14;
/// // Good
/// let x = std::f32::consts::PI;
/// ```
#[clippy::version = "pre 1.29.0"]
pub APPROX_CONSTANT,
correctness,
"the approximate of a known float constant (in `std::fXX::consts`)"
}
```
This commit adds a `no_std` and `no_core` check on `swap` lint and additionally suggest `core::mem::swap` whenever possible.
Remove warning if both `std` and `core` is not present.
1. Convert IfNotElse to LateLintPass and use clippy_utils::is_else_clause for checking.
2. Handle the case where the span comes from desugaring.
3. Update tests.
Add unit-hash lint
changelog: [`unit_hash`] Add lint for hashing unit values
This will lint for situations where the end user is attempting to hash a unit value (`()`), as the implementation in `std` simply [does nothing][impl]. Closes#7159 .
Example:
```rust
().hash(&mut state);
// Should (probably) be replaced with:
0_u8.hash(&mut state);
```
[impl]: a5f164faad/library/core/src/hash/mod.rs (L656)
Register the generated lints from `cargo dev new_lint`
How to register a lint was something that took me a couple reads to figure out, this will hopefully make that easier. It appends the created lint to the end of the list when running `cargo dev new_lint`
