11 //! Lints, aka compiler warnings.
13 //! A 'lint' check is a kind of miscellaneous constraint that a user _might_
14 //! want to enforce, but might reasonably want to permit as well, on a
15 //! module-by-module basis. They contrast with static constraints enforced by
16 //! other phases of the compiler, which are generally required to hold in order
17 //! to compile the program at all.
19 //! Most lints can be written as `LintPass` instances. These run just before
20 //! translation to LLVM bytecode. The `LintPass`es built into rustc are defined
21 //! within `builtin.rs`, which has further comments on how to add such a lint.
22 //! rustc can also load user-defined lint plugins via the plugin mechanism.
24 //! Some of rustc's lints are defined elsewhere in the compiler and work by
25 //! calling `add_lint()` on the overall `Session` object. This works when
26 //! it happens before the main lint pass, which emits the lints stored by
27 //! `add_lint()`. To emit lints after the main lint pass (from trans, for
28 //! example) requires more effort. See `emit_lint` and `GatherNodeLevels`
