pub static NO_LINK_ATTRIBUTES: &LintExpand description
The no_link_attributes lint detects that you used #[no_link] on an
extern crate item.
§Example
ⓘ
#[no_link]
extern crate std;{{produces}}
§Explanation
This is a pre-1.0 attribute that accidentally got stabilized. It was only meant
for compiler plugins which we no longer support, not for regular crates. It is
rather fragile and can easily lead to linker errors depending on where rustc
decides to codegen functions and statics, which varies between rustc versions. It
might also be unsound if a crate for example expects a global constructor it
defined to run. Using it doesn’t have an effect on the size of the produced
binaries except when it defines a #[used] static given that we remove all unused
functions and statics at link time already.
