pub static NAMED_ARGUMENTS_USED_POSITIONALLY: &Lint
Expand description
The named_arguments_used_positionally
lint detects cases where named arguments are only
used positionally in format strings. This usage is valid but potentially very confusing.
§Example
ⓘ
#![deny(named_arguments_used_positionally)]
fn main() {
let _x = 5;
println!("{}", _x = 1); // Prints 1, will trigger lint
println!("{}", _x); // Prints 5, no lint emitted
println!("{_x}", _x = _x); // Prints 5, no lint emitted
}
{{produces}}
§Explanation
Rust formatting strings can refer to named arguments by their position, but this usage is potentially confusing. In particular, readers can incorrectly assume that the declaration of named arguments is an assignment (which would produce the unit type). For backwards compatibility, this is not a hard error.
