For example, `\033` /// stands for the ASCII character 27 (ESC). Rust does not support this /// notation, but has the escape code `\0` which stands for a null /// byte/character, and any following digits do not form part of the escape /// sequence. Therefore, `\033` is not a compiler error but the result may /// be surprising. /// /// ### Known problems /// The actual meaning can be the intended one. `\x00` can be used in these /// cases to be unambigious. /// /// The lint does not trigger for format strings in `print!()`, `write!()` /// and friends since the string is already preprocessed when Clippy lints /// can see it. /// /// # Example /// ```rust /// // Bad /// let one = "\033[1m Bold? \033[0m"; // \033 intended as escape /// let two = "\033\0"; // \033 intended as null-3-3 /// /// // Good /// let one = "\x1b[1mWill this be bold?\x1b[0m"; /// let two = "\x0033\x00"; /// ``` #[clippy::version = "1.58.0"] pub OCTAL_ESCAPES, suspicious, "string escape sequences looking like octal characters" } declare_lint_pass!(OctalEscapes => [OCTAL_ESCAPES]); impl EarlyLintPass for OctalEscapes { fn check_expr(&mut self, cx: &EarlyContext<'tcx>, expr: &Expr) { if in_external_macro(cx.sess, expr.span) { return; } if let ExprKind::Lit(lit) = &expr.kind { if matches!(lit.token.kind, LitKind::Str) { check_lit(cx, &lit.token, lit.span, true); } else if matches!(lit.token.kind, LitKind::ByteStr) { check_lit(cx, &lit.token, lit.span, false); } } } } fn check_lit(cx: &EarlyContext<'tcx>, lit: &Lit, span: Span, is_string: bool) { let contents = lit.symbol.as_str(); let mut iter = contents.char_indices().peekable(); let mut found = vec![]; // go through the string, looking for \0[0-7][0-7]? while let Some((from, ch)) = iter.next() { if ch == '\\' { if let Some((_, '0')) = iter.next() { // collect up to two further octal digits if let Some((mut to, '0'..='7')) = iter.next() { if let Some((_, '0'..='7')) = iter.peek() { to += 1; } found.push((from, to + 1)); } } } } if found.is_empty() { return; } // construct two suggestion strings, one with \x escapes with octal meaning // as in C, and one with \x00 for null bytes. let mut suggest_1 = if is_string { "\"" } else { "b\"" }.to_string(); let mut suggest_2 = suggest_1.clone(); let mut index = 0; for (from, to) in found { suggest_1.push_str(&contents[index..from]); suggest_2.push_str(&contents[index..from]); // construct a replacement escape // the maximum value is \077, or \x3f, so u8 is sufficient here if let Ok(n) = u8::from_str_radix(&contents[from + 1..to], 8) { write!(&mut suggest_1, "\\x{:02x}", n).unwrap(); } // append the null byte as \x00 and the following digits literally suggest_2.push_str("\\x00"); suggest_2.push_str(&contents[from + 2..to]); index = to; } suggest_1.push_str(&contents[index..]); suggest_1.push('"'); suggest_2.push_str(&contents[index..]); suggest_2.push('"'); span_lint_and_then( cx, OCTAL_ESCAPES, span, &format!( "octal-looking escape in {} literal", if is_string { "string" } else { "byte string" } ), |diag| { diag.help(&format!( "octal escapes are not supported, `\\0` is always a null {}", if is_string { "character" } else { "byte" } )); // suggestion 1: equivalent hex escape diag.span_suggestion( span, "if an octal escape was intended, use the hexadecimal representation instead", suggest_1, Applicability::MaybeIncorrect, ); // suggestion 2: unambiguous null byte diag.span_suggestion( span, &format!( "if the null {} is intended, disambiguate using", if is_string { "character" } else { "byte" } ), suggest_2, Applicability::MaybeIncorrect, ); }, ); }
