![]() Implement a lint for implicit autoref of raw pointer dereference - take 2 *[t-lang nomination comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123239#issuecomment-2727551097)* This PR aims at implementing a lint for implicit autoref of raw pointer dereference, it is based on #103735 with suggestion and improvements from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103735#issuecomment-1370420305. The goal is to catch cases like this, where the user probably doesn't realise it just created a reference. ```rust pub struct Test { data: [u8], } pub fn test_len(t: *const Test) -> usize { unsafe { (*t).data.len() } // this calls <[T]>::len(&self) } ``` Since #103735 already went 2 times through T-lang, where they T-lang ended-up asking for a more restricted version (which is what this PR does), I would prefer this PR to be reviewed first before re-nominating it for T-lang. ---- Compared to the PR it is as based on, this PR adds 3 restrictions on the outer most expression, which must either be: 1. A deref followed by any non-deref place projection (that intermediate deref will typically be auto-inserted) 2. A method call annotated with `#[rustc_no_implicit_refs]`. 3. A deref followed by a `addr_of!` or `addr_of_mut!`. See bottom of post for details. There are several points that are not 100% clear to me when implementing the modifications: - ~~"4. Any number of automatically inserted deref/derefmut calls." I as never able to trigger this. Am I missing something?~~ Fixed - Are "index" and "field" enough? ---- cc `@JakobDegen` `@WaffleLapkin` r? `@RalfJung` try-job: dist-various-1 try-job: dist-various-2 |
