Currently, the let_underscore_lock lint simply tells what is wrong, but
not why it is wrong. We fix this by using a `MultiSpan` to explain
specifically that doing `let _ = ` immediately drops the lock guard
because it does not assign the lock guard to a binding.
This is done so that we can check the noisiness of this lint in a Crater
run. Note that when I built the compiler, I actually encountered lots of
places where this lint will trigger and fail compilation, so I had to
also set `RUSTFLAGS_NOT_BOOSTRAP` to `-A let_underscore_drop` when
compiling to prevent that.
Using diagnostic items avoids having to update the paths if the guard
types ever get moved around for some reason. Additionally, it also greatly
simplifies the `is_sync_lock` check.
If the type has a trivial Drop implementation, then it is probably irrelevant
that the type was dropped immediately, since nothing important
happens on drop. Hence, we can bail out early instead of doing some
expensive checks.
This commit uses `span_suggestion_verbose` to add what specific code
changes can be done as suggested by the lint--in this case, either binding
the expression to an unused variable or using `std::mem::drop` to drop
the value explicitly.
These lints are very noisy and are allow-by-default in clippy anyways.
Hence, setting them to allow-by-default here makes more sense than
warning constantly on these cases.
Similar to `let_underscore_drop`, this lint checks for statements similar
to `let _ = foo`, where `foo` is a lock guard. These types of let
statements are especially problematic because the lock gets released
immediately, instead of at the end of the scope. This behavior is almost
always the wrong thing.
This lint checks for statements similar to `let _ = foo`, where `foo` is
a type that implements `Drop`. These types of let statements cause the
expression in them to be dropped immediately, instead of at the end of
the scope. Such behavior can be surprizing, especially if you are
relying on the value to be dropped at the end of the scope. Instead, the
binding should be an underscore prefixed name (like `_unused`) or the
value should explicitly be passed to `std::mem::drop()` if the value
really should be dropped immediately.
