clippy_lints: Do not warn against Box parameter in C FFI
changelog: [`boxed_local`]: don't lint in `extern fn` arguments
Fixes#5542.
When using C FFI, to handle pointers in parameters it is needed to
declare them as `Box` in its Rust-side signature. However, the current
linter warns against the usage of Box stating that "local variable
doesn't need to be boxed here".
This commit fixes it by ignoring functions whose Abi is C.
Downgrade string_lit_as_bytes to nursery
Between #1402 (regarding `to_owned`) and #4494 (regarding `impl Read`), as well as other confusion I've seen hit in my work codebase involving string_lit_as_bytes (`"...".as_bytes().into()`), I don't think this lint is at a quality to be enabled by default.
I would consider re-enabling this lint after it is updated to understand when the surrounding type information is sufficient to unsize `b"..."` to &\[u8\] without causing a type error.
As currently implemented, this lint is pushing people to write `&b"_"[..]` which is not an improvement over `"_".as_bytes()` as far as I am concerned.

Fix unicode regexen with bytes::Regex
fixes#6005
The rationale for this is that since we wrote that lint, `bytes::Regex` was extended to be able to use unicode character classes.

Downgrade rc_buffer to restriction
I think Arc\<Vec\<T\>\> and Arc\<String\> and similar are a totally reasonable data structure, as observed by others in the comments on [#6044](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/6044#event-3799579830) as well. Doing `Arc::make_mut(&mut self.vec).push(...)` or `Arc::make_mut(&mut self.string).push_str("...")` is a terrific and well performing copy-on-write pattern. Linting this with an enabled-by-default <kbd>performance</kbd> lint strikes me as an unacceptable false positive balance.
As of #6090 the documentation of this lint now contains:
> **Known problems:** This pattern can be desirable ...
which should indicate that we shouldn't be linting against correct, reasonable, well-performing patterns with an enabled-by-default lint.
Mentioning #6044, #6090.
r? `@yaahc,` who reviewed the lint.

Fix LitKind's byte buffer to use refcounted slice
While working on adding a new lint for clippy (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/6044) for avoiding shared ownership of "mutable buffer" types (such as using `Rc<Vec<T>>` instead of `Rc<[T]>`), I noticed a type exported from rustc_ast and used by clippy gets caught by the lint. This PR fixes the exported type.
This PR includes the actual change to clippy too, but I will open a PR directly against clippy for that part (although it will currently fail to build there).
unnecessary sort by: avoid dereferencing the suggested closure parameter
This change tries to simplify the solution for problematic cases but is less restrictive than #6006.
* We can't dereference shared references to non-Copy types, so the new suggestion does not do that. Note that this implies that the suggested closure parameter will be a reference.
* We can't take a reference to the closure parameter in the returned key, so we don't lint in those cases. This can happen either because the key borrows from the parameter (e.g. `|a| a.borrows()`), or because we suggest `|a| Reverse(a)`. If we did we would hit this error:
```
error: lifetime may not live long enough
--> /home/ebroto/src/ebroto-clippy/tests/ui/unnecessary_sort_by.fixed:19:25
|
19 | vec.sort_by_key(|b| Reverse(b));
| -- ^^^^^^^^^^ returning this value requires that `'1` must outlive `'2`
| ||
| |return type of closure is Reverse<&'2 isize>
| has type `&'1 isize`
error: aborting due to previous error
```
Note that Clippy does not currently have the (MIR-based) machinery necessary to check that what is borrowed is actually the closure parameter.

Do not lint float fractions in `mistyped_literal_suffixes`
As suggested in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/4706#issuecomment-544797928, the fractional part is now ignored (the integer part is checked instead).
Fixes: #4706
changelog: `mistyped_literal_suffixes` no longer warns on the fractional part of a float (e.g. 713.23_64)
Lint for invisible Unicode characters other than ZWSP
This PR extends the existing `zero_width_space` lint to look for other invisible characters as well (in this case, `\\u{ad}` soft hyphen.
I feel like this lint is the logical place to add the check, but I also realize the lint name is not particularly flexible, but I also understand that it shouldn't be renamed for compatibility reasons.
Open questions:
- What other characters should trigger the lint?
- What should be done with the lint name?
- How to indicate the change in functionality?
Motivation behind this PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77417 - I managed to shoot myself in the foot by an invisible character pasted into my test case.
changelog: rename [`zero_width_space`] to [`invisible_characters`] and add SHY and WJ to the list.
Don't emit a lint for the suggestion leading to errors in `needless_range_loop`

New Lint: disallowed_method
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/6073
I added a `disallowed_method` lint that works similar to `blacklisted_name`, e.g allows config-defined disallowed method calls.
This lint allows advanced users to patch in undesired method calls for specific projects. It basically uses the DefId of method calls and matches it to parsed strings. Is there an alternative approach that could use more easily digestible configuration strings?
All tests pass as expected except for a linting error on `ui/redundant_pattern_matching_option`, which I am not sure how to resolve since I don't think I changed anything affecting it.
changelog: Add disallowed_method lint to warn on user-defined method calls
Fix FP in `print_stdout`
Fix#6041
This lint shouldn't be emitted in `build.rs` as `println!` and `print!` are used for the build script.
changelog: none
