Description
What it does
I would like clippy to lint against all integer casts. So I have set:
#![warn(
clippy::cast_possible_wrap, // unsigned -> signed
clippy::cast_sign_loss, // signed -> unsigned
clippy::cast_lossless,
clippy::cast_possible_truncation,
)]However, I just by accident noticed that this does not lint against usize-to-u64 casts. I guess cast_possible_truncation says "this cannot truncate because we don't have more than 64bit pointer size", and "cast_lossless" says "ah this might be lossy on platforms with pointers larger than 64bit", and then neither of them does anything.
I would be happy to either have one of these lints also trigger on usize-to-u64 casts, or to have a new lint against all integer casts.
Lint Name
cast_integer
Category
pedantic
Advantage
Integer casts are subtle and should be done via From/TryFrom, never via as, so I want to rule out all of them in my codebase.
Drawbacks
No response
Example
pub fn foo(x: usize) -> u64 { x as u64 }Could be written as:
pub fn foo(x: usize) -> u64 { u64::try_from(x).unwrap() }
