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.
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`
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`
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.)
Add lint `transmute_undefined_repr`
Partially implements #3999 and #546
This doesn't consider `enum`s at all right now as those are going to be a pain to deal with. This also allows `#[repr(Rust)]` structs with only one non-zero sized fields. I think those are technically undefined when transmuted.
changelog: Add lint `transmute_undefined_repr`
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.
- [x] Followed lint naming conventions
- [x] Added passing UI tests (including committed `.stderr` file)
- [x] `cargo test` passes locally
- [x] Executed `cargo dev update_lints`
- [x] Added lint documentation
- [x] Run `cargo dev fmt`
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.

Unseparated literal suffix
Closes#7658
Since `literal_suffix` style is opinionated, we should disable by default and only enforce if it's stated as so.
changelog: [`unseparated_literal_suffix`] is renamed to `literal_suffix`, adds a new configuration `literal-suffix-style` to enforce a certain style writing literal_suffix. Possible values for `literal-suffix-style`: `"separated"`, `"unseparated"`
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)
new lint: string-slice
This is a restriction lint to highlight code that should have tests containing non-ascii characters. See #6623.
changelog: new lint: [`string-slice`]
Warn on structs with a trailing zero-sized array but no `repr` attribute
Closes#2868
changelog: Implement ``[`trailing_empty_array`]``, which warns if a struct is defined where the last field is a zero-sized array but there are no `repr` attributes. Zero-sized arrays aren't very useful in Rust itself, so such a struct is likely being created to pass to C code or in some other situation where control over memory layout matters. Either way, a `repr` attribute is needed.
Add module_style lint to style
changelog: Add new [`module_style`] style lint
This is a configurable (no mod file/mod file) lint that determines if `mod.rs` is used consistently or if `mod.rs` is never used (using the new mod layout).
Add tests for disallowed_mod in ui-cargo test section
Use correct algorithm to determine if mod.rs is missing

Add macro_braces lint to check for irregular brace use in certain macros
The name is a bit long but this sounds good as `#[allow(unconventional_macro_braces)]` and it seems more clear that we are talking about the macro call not macro definitions, any feedback let me know. Thanks!
fixes#7278
changelog: Add ``[`unconventional_macro_braces`]`` lint that checks for uncommon brace usage with macros.
Rename unconventional -> nonstandard, add config field
Add standard_macro_braces fields so users can specify macro names and
brace combinations to lint for in the clippy.toml file.
Fix errors caused by nonstandard_macro_braces in other lint tests
Fix users ability to override the default nonstandard macro braces
Add type position macros impl `check_ty`
Add `needless_bitwise_bool` lint
fixes#6827fixes#1594
changelog: Add ``[`needless_bitwise_bool`]`` lint
Creates a new `bitwise_bool` lint to convert `x & y` to `x && y` when both `x` and `y` are booleans. I also had to adjust thh `needless_bool` lint slightly, and fix a couple failing dogfood tests. I made it a correctness lint as per flip1995's comment [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/3385#issuecomment-434715723), from a previous WIP attempt at this lint.
New lint: `unused_async`
changelog: Adds a lint, `unused_async`, which checks for async functions with no await statements
`unused_async` is a lint that reduces code smell and overhead by encouraging async functions to be refactored into synchronous functions.
Fixes#7176
### Examples
```rust
async fn get_random_number() -> i64 {
4 // Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
}
```
Could be written as:
```rust
fn get_random_number() -> i64 {
4 // Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
}
```
Something like this, however, should **not** be caught by clippy:
```rust
#[async_trait]
trait AsyncTrait {
async fn foo();
}
struct Bar;
#[async_trait]
impl AsyncTrait for Bar {
async fn foo() {
println!("bar");
}
}
```
The most recent changelog update 037ddf282b accompanying the 1.52 release added a second "Rust 1.52" section header, with the result that the Rust release announcement https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/05/06/Rust-1.52.0.html is linking to the "current beta" changelog section for Clippy rather than the stable changelog. I don't know the release process but based on previous changes to this file, I assume the correct thing to do is to mark the topmost section as being for Rust 1.53, not 1.52.
Add lint to check for boolean comparison in assert macro calls
This PR adds a lint to check if an assert macro is using a boolean as "comparison value". For example:
```rust
assert_eq!("a".is_empty(), false);
```
Could be rewritten as:
```rust
assert!(!"a".is_empty());
```
PS: The dev guidelines are amazing. Thanks a lot for writing them!
changelog: Add `bool_assert_comparison` lint
