Tools news

[nrc]

This is an issue to collect news about dev tools. If anything is happening, however minor, please leave a comment and let us know. Periodically (apx monthly, depending on how much news we get) I'll edit all the comments into a document, add it to the repo, and post to TWiR (and blog, tweet, etc.). Then open a new issue.

Rustfmt nightly 0.2.2 - new error messages, big perf improvement

[fitzgen]

bindgen v0.30.0 released: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/bindgen-automatically-generate-rust-ffi-bindings-to-c-and-c-libraries/12126/2

[llogiq]

Clippy has gained a few cleanups and some new lints: (maybe_)infinite_iter checks for operations exhausting infinite iterators (which will run out of time, space or both), naive_bytecount looks for naively implemented byte counting and suggests using the bytecount crate. Also the borrowed_box lint no longer triggers on Box<Any>.

[nrc]

Rustfmt 0.2.3

[fitzgen]

@jhod0 added the ability to print how long each of bindgen's phases takes (similar to -Z time-passes in rustc) rust-lang/rust-bindgen#933

[nrc]

https://github.com/ibabushkin/rust-semverver exists!

RFC news - tool attrs (rust-lang/rfcs#2103) entered FCP, Add external doc attribute to rustc (rust-lang/rfcs#1990) finished FCP, still need to sort out doc root issue, platform-specific data directories (rust-lang/rfcs#1615) hopefully FCP soon.

clippy is now a submodule.

@llogiq

clippy is now a submodule.

Does that mean it will be distributed with rustc? Rustup? What does this mean and why am I so excited

Doesn't have any effect so far, except that we are updating the submodule frequently to keep it working. There will be other steps in the future to make this more convenient. The final goal is that it will be distributed via rustup, but that is still quite some time off to the future.

[vitiral]

@oli-obk ok, thanks for the explanation. Sounds like a the very least this will mean less clippy-breakage when updating nightly, which would be absolutely amazing.
