//! Lints, aka compiler warnings.
//!
//! A 'lint' check is a kind of miscellaneous constraint that a user _might_
//! want to enforce, but might reasonably want to permit as well, on a
//! module-by-module basis. They contrast with static constraints enforced by
//! other phases of the compiler, which are generally required to hold in order
//! to compile the program at all.
//!
//! Most lints can be written as `LintPass` instances. These run just before
//! translation to LLVM bytecode. The `LintPass`es built into rustc are defined
//! within `builtin.rs`, which has further comments on how to add such a lint.
//! rustc can also load user-defined lint plugins via the plugin mechanism.
//!
//! Some of rustc's lints are defined elsewhere in the compiler and work by
//! calling `add_lint()` on the overall `Session` object. This works when
//! it happens before the main lint pass, which emits the lints stored by
//! `add_lint()`. To emit lints after the main lint pass (from trans, for
//! example) requires more effort. See `emit_lint` and `GatherNodeLevels`
//! in `context.rs`.
