-# rust-clippy
+We are currently in the process of discussing Clippy 1.0 via the RFC process in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2476 . The RFC's goal is to clarify policies around lint categorizations and the policy around which lints should be in the compiler and which lints should be in Clippy. Please leave your thoughts on the RFC PR.

## Usage
Since this is a tool for helping the developer of a library or application
-write better code, it is recommended not to include clippy as a hard dependency.
+write better code, it is recommended not to include Clippy as a hard dependency.
Options include using it as an optional dependency, as a cargo subcommand, or
-as an included feature during build. All of these options are detailed below.
-
-As a general rule clippy will only work with the *latest* Rust nightly for now.
-
-To install Rust nightly, the recommended way is to use [rustup](https://rustup.rs/):
-
-```terminal
-rustup install nightly
-```
+as an included feature during build. These options are detailed below.
### As a cargo subcommand (`cargo clippy`)
-One way to use clippy is by installing clippy through cargo as a cargo
+One way to use Clippy is by installing Clippy through rustup as a cargo
subcommand.
-```terminal
-cargo +nightly install clippy
-```
-
-(The `+nightly` is not necessary if your default `rustup` install is nightly)
-
-Now you can run clippy by invoking `cargo +nightly clippy`.
+#### Step 1: Install rustup
-To update the subcommand together with the latest nightly use the [rust-update](rust-update) script or run:
-
-```terminal
-rustup update nightly
-cargo +nightly install --force clippy
-```
+You can install [rustup](http://rustup.rs/) on supported platforms. This will help
+us install Clippy and its dependencies.
-In case you are not using rustup, you need to set the environment flag
-`SYSROOT` during installation so clippy knows where to find `librustc` and
-similar crates.
+If you already have rustup installed, update to ensure you have the latest
+rustup and compiler:
```terminal
-SYSROOT=/path/to/rustc/sysroot cargo install clippy
+rustup update
```
-### Optional dependency
+#### Step 2: Install Clippy
-In some cases you might want to include clippy in your project directly, as an
-optional dependency. To do this, just modify `Cargo.toml`:
+Once you have rustup and the latest stable release (at least Rust 1.29) installed, run the following command:
-```toml
-[dependencies]
-clippy = { version = "*", optional = true }
-```
-
-And, in your `main.rs` or `lib.rs`, add these lines:
-
-```rust
-#![cfg_attr(feature="clippy", feature(plugin))]
-#![cfg_attr(feature="clippy", plugin(clippy))]
-```
-
-Then build by enabling the feature: `cargo +nightly build --features "clippy"`.
-
-Instead of adding the `cfg_attr` attributes you can also run clippy on demand:
-`cargo rustc --features clippy -- -Z no-trans -Z extra-plugins=clippy`
-(the `-Z no trans`, while not necessary, will stop the compilation process after
-typechecking (and lints) have completed, which can significantly reduce the runtime).
-
-Alternatively, to only run clippy when testing:
-
-```toml
-[dev-dependencies]
-clippy = { version = "*" }
+```terminal
+rustup component add clippy-preview
```
-and add to `main.rs` or `lib.rs`:
-
-```
-#![cfg_attr(test, feature(plugin))]
-#![cfg_attr(test, plugin(clippy))]
-```
+Now you can run Clippy by invoking `cargo clippy`.
-### Running clippy from the command line without installing it
+### Running Clippy from the command line without installing it
-To have cargo compile your crate with clippy without clippy installation and without needing `#![plugin(clippy)]`
+To have cargo compile your crate with Clippy without Clippy installation
in your code, you can use:
```terminal
```
*[Note](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rust-clippy/wiki#a-word-of-warning):*
-Be sure that clippy was compiled with the same version of rustc that cargo invokes here!
-
-### As a Compiler Plugin
-
-*Note:* This is not a recommended installation method.
-
-Since stable Rust is backwards compatible, you should be able to
-compile your stable programs with nightly Rust with clippy plugged in to
-circumvent this.
-
-Add in your `Cargo.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[dependencies]
-clippy = "*"
-```
-
-You then need to add `#![feature(plugin)]` and `#![plugin(clippy)]` to the top
-of your crate entry point (`main.rs` or `lib.rs`).
-
-Sample `main.rs`:
-
-```rust
-#![feature(plugin)]
+Be sure that Clippy was compiled with the same version of rustc that cargo invokes here!
-#![plugin(clippy)]
+### Travis CI
+You can add Clippy to Travis CI in the same way you use it locally:
-fn main(){
- let x = Some(1u8);
- match x {
- Some(y) => println!("{:?}", y),
- _ => ()
- }
-}
-```
-
-Produces this warning:
-
-```terminal
-src/main.rs:8:5: 11:6 warning: you seem to be trying to use match for destructuring a single type. Consider using `if let`, #[warn(single_match)] on by default
-src/main.rs:8 match x {
-src/main.rs:9 Some(y) => println!("{:?}", y),
-src/main.rs:10 _ => ()
-src/main.rs:11 }
-src/main.rs:8:5: 11:6 help: Try
-if let Some(y) = x { println!("{:?}", y) }
+```yml
+- rust: stable
+- rust: beta

+ - rustup component add clippy-preview

+# if you want the build job to fail when encountering warnings, use

+ - cargo test
+ # etc.
```
## Configuration
-Some lints can be configured in a TOML file named with `clippy.toml` or `.clippy.toml`. It contains basic `variable = value` mapping eg.
+Some lints can be configured in a TOML file named `clippy.toml` or `.clippy.toml`. It contains a basic `variable = value` mapping eg.
```toml
blacklisted-names = ["toto", "tata", "titi"]
See the [list of lints](https://rust-lang-nursery.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html) for more information about which lints can be configured and the
meaning of the variables.
-You can also specify the path to the configuration file with:
-
-```rust
-#![plugin(clippy(conf_file="path/to/clippy's/configuration"))]
-```
-
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 `allow`/`warn`/`deny`:
+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)]`)
+* the whole set of `Warn` lints using the `clippy` lint group (`#![deny(clippy::all)]`)
-* all lints using both the `clippy` and `clippy_pedantic` lint groups (`#![deny(clippy)]`,
- `#![deny(clippy_pedantic)]`). Note that `clippy_pedantic` contains some very aggressive
+* 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(single_match, box_vec)]`, etc)
+* 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: `deny` produces errors instead of warnings.
-For convenience, `cargo clippy` automatically defines a `cargo-clippy`
-feature. This lets you set lint levels and compile with or without clippy
-transparently:
-
+Note: To use the new `clippy::lint_name` syntax, `#![feature(tool_lints)]` has to be activated
+currently. If you want to compile your code with the stable toolchain you can use a `cfg_attr` to
+activate the `tool_lints` feature:
```rust
-#[cfg_attr(feature = "cargo-clippy", allow(needless_lifetimes))]
+#![cfg_attr(feature = "cargo-clippy", feature(tool_lints))]
+#![cfg_attr(feature = "cargo-clippy", allow(clippy::lint_name))]
```
-## Updating rustc
-
-Sometimes, rustc moves forward without clippy catching up. Therefore updating
-rustc may leave clippy a non-functional state until we fix the resulting
-breakage.
-
-You can use the [rust-update](rust-update) script to update rustc only if
-clippy would also update correctly.
+For this to work you have to use Clippy on the nightly toolchain: `cargo +nightly clippy`. If you
+want to use Clippy with the stable toolchain, you can stick to the old unscoped method to
+enable/disable Clippy lints until `tool_lints` are stable:
+```rust
+#![cfg_attr(feature = "cargo-clippy", allow(clippy_lint))]
+```
