Cargo: Enable most pedantic Clippy lints + some from `nursery` & `restriction` by paldepind · Pull Request #23095 · github/codeql

paldepind · 2026-11-11T11:10:18Z

This PR enables most lints in Clippy's pedantic group, similar to what we used to have for the C/C++ BMN setup. Compared to that I've disable a few more rules, since they provided false positives or results of dubious value.

All the lint errors have been fixed using Clippy's automatic --fix option or by Copilot. I've vetted each rule that required changes and gone through all the changes. Combined with #23053 we've now fixed 207 lint errors! Of course many of these are very tiny improvements, but almost all of them makes the code more consistent, idiomatic, performant, clear/explicit, robust, etc. So I think this is overall a really nice improvement.

I did a commit for each lint rule that was addressed. This makes it easy to see why something was changed, but make per-commit review rather tedious. The changes here are rather simple and of a if-it-still-compiles-it-still-works kind. So I think a very light review of the changes is sufficient. I've started DCA for Rust, Ruby and Unified.

What changed in this PR

This PR enables most Clippy pedantic lints across the Rust workspace, applies the resulting idiomatic refactors, and replaces direct lazy_static usage with std::sync::LazyLock.

Changes:

Enables workspace-wide Clippy pedantic lints with targeted exceptions.
Applies refactors across extractors, Yeast, generators, tests, and supporting utilities.
Updates Cargo and Bazel dependency metadata.

I've enabled some more lints from the nursery and restriction group. These where suggested in https://microsoft.github.io/rust-guidelines/guidelines/universal/index.html#clippy-lints.

Many of these look good to me, but a bunch of them are (in my opinion) somewhat questionable.

Also, a meta-comment: perhaps in the future try to split this up so it isn't a single 56-commit PR. That way, the unobjectionable parts can be merged, while the more dubious lints can be discussed further. This was a somewhat exhausting PR to review.

tausbn · 2026-11-13T13:37:37Z

    for component in components {
        match component {
-            std::path::Component::CurDir => continue,
+            std::path::Component::CurDir => {}


I'm a bit ambivalent about this one. Yes, for the current incarnation of the code (where there's nothing following the match) the continue is indeed superfluous, but if we were to add code after the match, this would no longer be true.

tausbn · 2026-11-13T13:39:40Z

        ("CallExpr", "expr") => "function",
-        ("LetExpr", "expr") => "scrutinee",
-        ("MatchExpr", "expr") => "scrutinee",
+        ("LetExpr" | "MatchExpr", "expr") => "scrutinee",


I'm not sure I like this. If you're looking for "MatchExpr", you can no longer scan down across the different cases, since the thing you're looking for is embedded somewhere inside. To me this makes the code harder to read.

tausbn · 2026-11-13T13:40:45Z

+                    node_types::Storage::Column { name }
+                    | node_types::Storage::Table { name, .. } => name,


This is another one where I feel the readability improvement is marginal at best. The repetition of name seems very harmless to me.

tausbn · 2026-11-13T13:41:42Z

        match self {
-            QueryNode::Node { kind, .. } => Some(kind),
-            QueryNode::UnnamedNode { kind } => Some(kind),
+            QueryNode::Node { kind, .. } | QueryNode::UnnamedNode { kind } => Some(kind),


This is another one where I don't feel like the "improvement" outweighs the fact that it makes the code harder to read.

tausbn · 2026-11-13T13:43:17Z


 impl AstNode for ExtraNode {
-    fn kind(&self) -> &str {
+    fn kind(&self) -> &'static str {


I feel like the previous version was simpler. Less precise, sure, but simpler.

tausbn · 2026-11-13T14:13:34Z


 /// Helper: translate Ruby source with multiple rule phases and return its dump.
-fn run_phased_and_dump(input: &str, phases: Vec<Phase>) -> String {
+fn run_phased_and_dump(input: &str, phases: &[Phase]) -> String {


This is yet another lint where I think the benefit is marginal at best. Yes, it's cleaner to pass a reference, but it's also more sigils to parse (with our human eyes).

tausbn · 2026-11-13T14:16:08Z

    )
 }

+#[allow(clippy::too_many_lines)]


This appears to be a lint that primarily causes us to add a bunch of overrides where we allow it to be broken. Perhaps it would be better to not just run that lint at all.

tausbn · 2026-11-13T14:21:17Z

    // mustache is not very good at avoiding blank lines
    // adopting the workaround from https://github.com/groue/GRMustache/issues/46#issuecomment-19498046
-    s.split("\n")
+    s.split('\n')


This feels like a marginal improvement at best. "Pedantic" is the right word for this one.

tausbn · 2026-11-13T14:32:57Z

    pub root_dir: PathBuf,
    pub file_list: PathBuf,
-    pub source_archive_dir: PathBuf,
+    pub archive_dir: PathBuf,


It's not entirely clear to me why this rewrite is better. Is it because it's superfluous to have a field starting with source when the struct is called SourceArchive? In that case, shouldn't it go all the way to calling the field dir?

tausbn · 2026-11-13T14:38:35Z

    }
    index += 1;

-    const CODING: [char; 12] = ['C', 'c', 'O', 'o', 'D', 'd', 'I', 'i', 'N', 'n', 'G', 'g'];


Moving this ~20 lines up seems like a net loss for readability.
