##Lints
There are 133 lints included in this crate:
name | default | meaning
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[absurd_extreme_comparisons](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#absurd_extreme_comparisons) | warn | a comparison involving a maximum or minimum value involves a case that is always true or always false

[approx_constant](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#approx_constant) | warn | the approximate of a known float constant (in `std::f64::consts` or `std::f32::consts`) is found; suggests to use the constant
[bad_bit_mask](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#bad_bit_mask) | warn | expressions of the form `_ & mask == select` that will only ever return `true` or `false` (because in the example `select` containing bits that `mask` doesn't have)

[float_cmp](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#float_cmp) | warn | using `==` or `!=` on float values (as floating-point operations usually involve rounding errors, it is always better to check for approximate equality within small bounds)

[let_unit_value](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#let_unit_value) | warn | creating a let binding to a value of unit type, which usually can't be used afterwards
[linkedlist](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#linkedlist) | warn | usage of LinkedList, usually a vector is faster, or a more specialized data structure like a VecDeque
[manual_swap](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#manual_swap) | warn | manual swap
[map_clone](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#map_clone) | warn | using `.map(|x| x.clone())` to clone an iterator or option's contents (recommends `.cloned()` instead)

[mut_mut](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#mut_mut) | allow | usage of double-mut refs, e.g. `&mut &mut ...` (either copy'n'paste error, or shows a fundamental misunderstanding of references)

##Usage
Compiler plugins are highly unstable and will only work with a nightly Rust for now. Since stable Rust is backwards compatible, you should be able to compile your stable programs with nightly Rust with clippy plugged in to circumvent this.
Add in your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
clippy = "*"
```
You then need to add `#![feature(plugin)]` and `#![plugin(clippy)]` to the top of your crate entry point (`main.rs` or `lib.rs`).
Sample `main.rs`:
```rust
#![feature(plugin)]
#![plugin(clippy)]
fn main(){
let x = Some(1u8);
match x {
Some(y) => println!("{:?}", y),
_ => ()
}
}
```
Produces this warning:
```
src/main.rs:8:5: 11:6 warning: you seem to be trying to use match for destructuring a single type. Consider using `if let`, #[warn(single_match)] on by default
src/main.rs:8 match x {
src/main.rs:9 Some(y) => println!("{:?}", y),
src/main.rs:10 _ => ()
src/main.rs:11 }
src/main.rs:8:5: 11:6 help: Try
if let Some(y) = x { println!("{:?}", y) }
```
An alternate way to use clippy is by compiling and using [`cargo clippy`](https://github.com/arcnmx/cargo-clippy), a custom cargo subcommand that runs clippy on a given project.
You can add options to `allow`/`warn`/`deny`:
- the whole set of `Warn` lints using the `clippy` lint group (`#![deny(clippy)]`)
- all lints using both the `clippy` and `clippy_pedantic` lint groups (`#![deny(clippy)]`, `#![deny(clippy_pedantic)]`). Note that `clippy_pedantic` contains some very aggressive lints prone to false positives.
- only some lints (`#![deny(single_match, box_vec)]`, etc)
- `allow`/`warn`/`deny` can be limited to a single function or module using `#[allow(...)]`, etc
Note: `deny` produces errors instead of warnings
To have cargo compile your crate with clippy without needing `#![plugin(clippy)]`
in your code, you can use:
```
cargo rustc -- -L /path/to/clippy_so -Z extra-plugins=clippy
```
*[Note](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#a-word-of-warning):* Be sure that clippy was compiled with the same version of rustc that cargo invokes here!
If you want to make clippy an optional dependency, you can do the following:
In your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
clippy = {version = "*", optional = true}
[features]
default=[]
```
And, in your `main.rs` or `lib.rs`:
```rust
#![cfg_attr(feature="clippy", feature(plugin))]
#![cfg_attr(feature="clippy", plugin(clippy))]
```
##Link with clippy service
`clippy-service` is a rust web initiative providing `rust-clippy` as a web service.
Both projects are independent and maintained by different people (even if some `clippy-service`'s contributions are authored by some `rust-clippy` members).
You can check it out this great service at [clippy.bashy.io](https://clippy.bashy.io/).
