These should be used +very selectively, if at all. + +Table of contents: + +* [Usage instructions](#usage) +* [Configuration](#configuration) +* [Contributing](#contributing) +* [License](#license) + +## Usage + +Below are instructions on how to use Clippy as a cargo subcommand, +in projects that do not use cargo, or in Travis CI. + +### As a cargo subcommand (`cargo clippy`) + +One way to use Clippy is by installing Clippy through rustup as a cargo +subcommand. + +#### Step 1: Install Rustup + +You can install [Rustup](https://rustup.rs/) on supported platforms. This will help +us install Clippy and its dependencies. + +If you already have Rustup installed, update to ensure you have the latest +Rustup and compiler: + +```terminal +rustup update +``` + +#### Step 2: Install Clippy + +Once you have rustup and the latest stable release (at least Rust 1.29) installed, run the following command: + +```terminal +rustup component add clippy +``` +If it says that it can't find the `clippy` component, please run `rustup self update`. + +#### Step 3: Run Clippy + +Now you can run Clippy by invoking the following command: + +```terminal +cargo clippy +``` + +#### Automatically applying Clippy suggestions + +Clippy can automatically apply some lint suggestions, just like the compiler. + +```terminal +cargo clippy --fix +``` + +#### Workspaces + +All the usual workspace options should work with Clippy. For example the following command +will run Clippy on the `example` crate: + +```terminal +cargo clippy -p example +``` + +As with `cargo check`, this includes dependencies that are members of the workspace, like path dependencies. +If you want to run Clippy **only** on the given crate, use the `--no-deps` option like this: + +```terminal +cargo clippy -p example -- --no-deps +``` + +### Using `clippy-driver` + +Clippy can also be used in projects that do not use cargo. To do so, run `clippy-driver` +with the same arguments you use for `rustc`. For example: + +```terminal +clippy-driver --edition 2018 -Cpanic=abort foo.rs +``` + +Note that `clippy-driver` is designed for running Clippy only and should not be used as a general +replacement for `rustc`. `clippy-driver` may produce artifacts that are not optimized as expected, +for example. + +### Travis CI + +You can add Clippy to Travis CI in the same way you use it locally: + +```yml +language: rust +rust: + - stable + - beta +before_script: + - rustup component add clippy +script: + - cargo clippy + # if you want the build job to fail when encountering warnings, use + - cargo clippy -- -D warnings + # in order to also check tests and non-default crate features, use + - cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings + - cargo test + # etc. +``` + +Note that adding `-D warnings` will cause your build to fail if **any** warnings are found in your code. +That includes warnings found by rustc (e.g. `dead_code`, etc.). If you want to avoid this and only cause +an error for Clippy warnings, use `#![deny(clippy::all)]` in your code or `-D clippy::all` on the command +line. (You can swap `clippy::all` with the specific lint category you are targeting.) + +## Configuration + +Some lints can be configured in a TOML file named `clippy.toml` or `.clippy.toml`. It contains a basic `variable = +value` mapping e.g. + +```toml +avoid-breaking-exported-api = false +blacklisted-names = ["toto", "tata", "titi"] +cognitive-complexity-threshold = 30 +``` + +See the [list of lints](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html) for more information about which +lints can be configured and the meaning of the variables. + +Note that configuration changes will not apply for code that has already been compiled and cached under `./target/`; +for example, adding a new string to `doc-valid-idents` may still result in Clippy flagging that string. To be sure that +any configuration changes are applied, you may want to run `cargo clean` and re-compile your crate from scratch. + +To deactivate the “for further information visit *lint-link*” message you can +define the `CLIPPY_DISABLE_DOCS_LINKS` environment variable. + +### Allowing/denying lints + +You can add options to your code to `allow`/`warn`/`deny` Clippy lints: + +* the whole set of `Warn` lints using the `clippy` lint group (`#![deny(clippy::all)]`). + Note that `rustc` has additional [lint groups](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/groups.html). + +* all lints using both the `clippy` and `clippy::pedantic` lint groups (`#![deny(clippy::all)]`, + `#![deny(clippy::pedantic)]`). Note that `clippy::pedantic` contains some very aggressive + lints prone to false positives. + +* only some lints (`#![deny(clippy::single_match, clippy::box_vec)]`, etc.) + +* `allow`/`warn`/`deny` can be limited to a single function or module using `#[allow(...)]`, etc. + +Note: `allow` means to suppress the lint for your code. With `warn` the lint +will only emit a warning, while with `deny` the lint will emit an error, when +triggering for your code. An error causes clippy to exit with an error code, so +is useful in scripts like CI/CD. + +If you do not want to include your lint levels in your code, you can globally +enable/disable lints by passing extra flags to Clippy during the run: + +To allow `lint_name`, run + +```terminal +cargo clippy -- -A clippy::lint_name +``` + +And to warn on `lint_name`, run + +```terminal +cargo clippy -- -W clippy::lint_name +``` + +This also works with lint groups. For example, you +can run Clippy with warnings for all lints enabled: +```terminal +cargo clippy -- -W clippy::pedantic +``` + +If you care only about a single lint, you can allow all others and then explicitly warn on +the lint(s) you are interested in: +```terminal +cargo clippy -- -A clippy::all -W clippy::useless_format -W clippy::... +``` + +### Specifying the minimum supported Rust version + +Projects that intend to support old versions of Rust can disable lints pertaining to newer features by +specifying the minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) in the clippy configuration file. + +```toml +msrv = "1.30.0" +``` + +Alternatively, the [`rust-version` field](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-rust-version-field) +in the `Cargo.toml` can be used. + +```toml +# Cargo.toml +rust-version = "1.30" +``` + +The MSRV can also be specified as an inner attribute, like below. + +```rust +#![feature(custom_inner_attributes)] +#![clippy::msrv = "1.30.0"] + +fn main() { + ... +} +``` + +You can also omit the patch version when specifying the MSRV, so `msrv = 1.30` +is equivalent to `msrv = 1.30.0`. + +Note: `custom_inner_attributes` is an unstable feature, so it has to be enabled explicitly. + +Lints that recognize this configuration option can be found [here](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#msrv) + +## Contributing + +If you want to contribute to Clippy, you can find more information in [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). + +## License + +Copyright 2014-2022 The Rust Project Developers + +Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 or the MIT license +, at your +option.
