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 neccessary, will stop the compilation process after
+(the `-Z no trans`, while not necessary, will stop the compilation process after
typechecking (and lints) have completed, which can significantly reduce the runtime).
### As a cargo subcommand (`cargo clippy`)
in your code, you can use:
```terminal
-cargo rustc -- -L /path/to/clippy_so -Z extra-plugins=clippy
+cargo rustc -- -L /path/to/clippy_so/dir/ -Z extra-plugins=clippy
```
