### What it does Checks for usage of `as` conversions. Note that this lint is specialized in linting *every single* use of `as` regardless of whether good alternatives exist or not. If you want more precise lints for `as`, please consider using these separate lints: `unnecessary_cast`, `cast_lossless/cast_possible_truncation/cast_possible_wrap/cast_precision_loss/cast_sign_loss`, `fn_to_numeric_cast(_with_truncation)`, `char_lit_as_u8`, `ref_to_mut` and `ptr_as_ptr`. There is a good explanation the reason why this lint should work in this way and how it is useful [in this issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/5122). ### Why is this bad? `as` conversions will perform many kinds of conversions, including silently lossy conversions and dangerous coercions. There are cases when it makes sense to use `as`, so the lint is Allow by default. ### Example ``` let a: u32; ... f(a as u16); ``` Use instead: ``` f(a.try_into()?); // or f(a.try_into().expect("Unexpected u16 overflow in f")); ```
