<h1 id="denywarnings"><a class="header" href="#denywarnings"><code>#![deny(warnings)]</code></a></h1>
<h2 id="description"><a class="header" href="#description">Description</a></h2>
<p>A well-intentioned crate author wants to ensure their code builds without
warnings. So they annotate their crate root with the following:</p>
<h2 id="example"><a class="header" href="#example">Example</a></h2>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2018"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span>#![deny(warnings)]
<span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>// All is well.
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<h2 id="advantages"><a class="header" href="#advantages">Advantages</a></h2>
<p>It is short and will stop the build if anything is amiss.</p>
<h2 id="drawbacks"><a class="header" href="#drawbacks">Drawbacks</a></h2>
<p>By disallowing the compiler to build with warnings, a crate author opts out of
Rust's famed stability. Sometimes new features or old misfeatures need a change
in how things are done, thus lints are written that <code>warn</code> for a certain grace
period before being turned to <code>deny</code>.</p>
<p>For example, it was discovered that a type could have two <code>impl</code>s with the same
method. This was deemed a bad idea, but in order to make the transition smooth,
the <code>overlapping-inherent-impls</code> lint was introduced to give a warning to those
stumbling on this fact, before it becomes a hard error in a future release.</p>
<p>Also sometimes APIs get deprecated, so their use will emit a warning where
before there was none.</p>
<p>All this conspires to potentially break the build whenever something changes.</p>
<p>Furthermore, crates that supply additional lints (e.g. <a href="https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy">rust-clippy</a>) can no
longer be used unless the annotation is removed. This is mitigated with
<a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/levels.html#capping-lints">--cap-lints</a>. The <code>--cap-lints=warn</code> command line argument, turns all <code>deny</code>
lint errors into warnings.</p>
<h2 id="alternatives"><a class="header" href="#alternatives">Alternatives</a></h2>
<p>There are two ways of tackling this problem: First, we can decouple the build
setting from the code, and second, we can name the lints we want to deny
explicitly.</p>
<p>The following command line will build with all warnings set to <code>deny</code>:</p>
<p><code>RUSTFLAGS=&quot;-D warnings&quot; cargo build</code></p>
<p>This can be done by any individual developer (or be set in a CI tool like
Travis, but remember that this may break the build when something changes)
without requiring a change to the code.</p>
<p>Alternatively, we can specify the lints that we want to <code>deny</code> in the code.
Here is a list of warning lints that is (hopefully) safe to deny (as of Rustc 1.48.0):</p>
<pre><code class="language-rust ignore">#![deny(bad_style,
const_err,
dead_code,
improper_ctypes,
non_shorthand_field_patterns,
no_mangle_generic_items,
overflowing_literals,
path_statements,
patterns_in_fns_without_body,
private_in_public,
unconditional_recursion,
unused,
unused_allocation,
unused_comparisons,
unused_parens,
while_true)]</code></pre>
<p>In addition, the following <code>allow</code>ed lints may be a good idea to <code>deny</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-rust ignore">#![deny(missing_debug_implementations,
missing_docs,
trivial_casts,
trivial_numeric_casts,
unused_extern_crates,
unused_import_braces,
unused_qualifications,
unused_results)]</code></pre>
<p>Some may also want to add <code>missing-copy-implementations</code> to their list.</p>
<p>Note that we explicitly did not add the <code>deprecated</code> lint, as it is fairly
certain that there will be more deprecated APIs in the future.</p>
