9 /// Checks for usage of `as` conversions.
11 /// Note that this lint is specialized in linting *every single* use of `as`
12 /// regardless of whether good alternatives exist or not.
13 /// If you want more precise lints for `as`, please consider using these separate lints:
14 /// `unnecessary_cast`, `cast_lossless/possible_truncation/possible_wrap/precision_loss/sign_loss`,
15 /// `fn_to_numeric_cast(_with_truncation)`, `char_lit_as_u8`, `ref_to_mut` and `ptr_as_ptr`.
16 /// There is a good explanation the reason why this lint should work in this way and how it is useful
17 /// [in this issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/5122).
19 /// ### Why is this bad?
20 /// `as` conversions will perform many kinds of
21 /// conversions, including silently lossy conversions and dangerous coercions.
22 /// There are cases when it makes sense to use `as`, so the lint is
38 /// f(a.try_into().expect("Unexpected u16 overflow in f"));
