## Usage
|
|
|
|
As a general rule clippy will only work with the *latest* Rust nightly for now.
|
|
|
|
### As a Compiler Plugin
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
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) }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### As a cargo subcommand (`cargo clippy`)
|
|
|
|
An alternate way to use clippy is by installing clippy through cargo as a cargo
|
|
subcommand.
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
cargo install clippy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can run clippy by invoking `cargo clippy`, or
|
|
`rustup run nightly cargo clippy` directly from a directory that is usually
|
|
compiled with stable.
|
|
|
|
In case you are not using rustup, you need to set the environment flag
|
|
`SYSROOT` during installation so clippy knows where to find `librustc` and
|
|
similar crates.
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
SYSROOT=/path/to/rustc/sysroot cargo install clippy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running clippy from the command line without installing
|
|
|
|
To have cargo compile your crate with clippy without needing `#![plugin(clippy)]`
|
|
in your code, you can use:
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
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!
|
|
|
|
### Optional dependency
|
|
|
|
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))]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then build by enabling the feature: `cargo build --features "clippy"`
|
|
|
|
Instead of adding the `cfg_attr` attributes you can also run clippy on demand:
|
|
`cargo rustc --features clippy -- -Z no-trans -Z extra-plugins=clippy`
|
|
(the `-Z no trans`, while not neccessary, will stop the compilation process after
|
|
typechecking (and lints) have completed, which can significantly reduce the runtime).
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Some lints can be configured in a `clippy.toml` file. It contains basic `variable = value` mapping eg.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
blacklisted-names = ["toto", "tata", "titi"]
|
|
cyclomatic-complexity-threshold = 30
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the wiki for more information about which lints can be configured and the
|
|
meaning of the variables.
|
|
|
|
You can also specify the path to the configuration file with:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
#![plugin(clippy(conf_file="path/to/clippy's/configuration"))]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To deactivate the “for further information visit *wiki-link*” message you can
|
|
define the `CLIPPY_DISABLE_WIKI_LINKS` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
### Allowing/denying lints
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## 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 out this great service at [clippy.bashy.io](https://clippy.bashy.io/).
