Downgrade trivially_copy_pass_by_ref to pedantic
The rationale for this lint is documented as:
> In many calling conventions instances of structs will be passed through registers if they fit into two or less general purpose registers.
I think the purported performance benefits of clippy's recommendation are overstated. This isn't worth asking people to sprinkle code with more `*``*``&``*``&` to chase the alleged performance.
This should be a pedantic lint that is disabled by default and opted in if some specific performance sensitive codebase determines that it is worthwhile.
As a reminder, a typical place that a reference to a primitive would come up is if the function is used as a filter. Triggering a performance-oriented lint on this type of code is the definition of pedantic.
```rust
fn filter(_n: &i32) -> bool {
true
}
fn main() {
let v = vec![1, 2, 3];
v.iter().copied().filter(filter).for_each(drop);
}
```
```console
warning: this argument (4 byte) is passed by reference, but would be more efficient if passed by value (limit: 8 byte)
--> src/main.rs:1:15
|
1 | fn filter(_n: &i32) -> bool {
| ^^^^ help: consider passing by value instead: `i32`
```
changelog: Remove trivially_copy_pass_by_ref from default set of enabled lints
Downgrade let_unit_value to pedantic
Given that the false positive in #1502 is marked E-hard and I don't have much hope of it getting fixed, I think it would be wise to disable this lint by default. I have had to suppress this lint in every substantial codebase (\>100k line) I have worked in. Any time this lint is being triggered, it's always the false positive case.
The motivation for this lint is documented as:
> A unit value cannot usefully be used anywhere. So binding one is kind of pointless.
with this example:
> ```rust
> let x = {
> 1;
> };

Sure, but the author would find this out via an unused_variable warning or from `x` not being the type that they need further down. If there ends up being a type error on `x`, clippy's advice isn't going to help get the code compiling because it can only run if the code already compiles.
changelog: Remove let_unit_value from default set of enabled lints
Result<T, E> has an `ok()` method that adapts a Result<T,E> into an Option<T>.
It's possible to get around this adapter by writing Result<T,E>.map_or(None, Some).
This lint is implemented as a new variant of the existing
[`option_map_none` lint](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/2128)
Add lint to detect floating point operations that can be computed more
accurately at the cost of performance. `cbrt`, `ln_1p` and `exp_m1`
library functions call their equivalent cmath implementations which is
slower but more accurate so moving checks for these under this new lint.
Merge the accuracy and efficiency lints into a single lint that
checks for improvements to accuracy, efficiency and readability
of floating-point expressions.
Move check for lossy whole-number floats out of `excessive_precision`
changelog: Add new lint `lossy_float_literal` to detect lossy whole number float literals and move it out of `excessive_precision` again.
Fixes#5201
