Previously, there was no way to add a custom tool prefix, even if the tool itself had registered a lint: ``` #![feature(register_tool)] #![register_tool(xyz)] #![warn(xyz::my_lint)] ``` ``` $ rustc unknown-lint.rs --crate-type lib error[E0710]: an unknown tool name found in scoped lint: `xyz::my_lint` --> unknown-lint.rs:3:9 | 3 | #![warn(xyz::my_lint)] | ^^^ ``` This allows opting-in to lints from other tools using `register_tool`.
The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax
– that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), parser, pretty-printer,
lexer, macro expander, and utilities for traversing ASTs.
For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
