Test case for unnecessary_conversion_for_trait false positive #1566

enfayz · 2025-04-03T08:01:03Z

Overview

This pull request addresses issue #1531 by providing a test case that demonstrates the reported false positive in the unnecessary_conversion_for_trait lint.

Problem Demonstration

The test case illustrates a scenario where the lint incorrectly suggests removing .iter() in a context where doing so would consume the original collection, making it unavailable for subsequent use:

fn main() {
    let xs = vec![[0u8; 16]];
    let mut ys: Vec<[u8; 16]> = Vec::new();
    ys.extend(xs.iter());
    println!("{:?}", xs);
}

Without the applied #[allow(unnecessary_conversion_for_trait)] attribute, the lint would erroneously recommend removing .iter(), which would render xs unavailable for the subsequent println! statement.

Implementation Details

Added false_positive.rs with the appropriate #[allow] attribute
Added corresponding test function in lib.rs
Included .stderr file to document the expected warning

This test case serves as validation of the issue reported in #1531. A subsequent PR will address the implementation of a fix once this test case is confirmed.

…cting `.iter()` usage. Added tests to verify behavior with and without the fix, ensuring correct lint suppression when the original value is used later.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at here.

Sorry if we miscommunicated in #1531, but I thought as a first step you were just going to produce a test that exhibits the bug?

Hey @smoelius I'm encountering CI failures. Could you please help identify what's missing or provide guidance on properly setting up these tests?

I'll respond later today.

I don't understand why the PR_DESCRIPTIO.md file is here, and I think it can be removed.

I will likely want to give this PR another look after you've made the changes.

If you don't mind me asking, are you vibe coding?

@smoelius Yes, it's partially vibe coding since I'm quite new to open source and also to Rust. I just leveraged AI to get some basic boilerplate done, but I'm learning a lot along the way. I hope that won't be an issue moving forward.

I’ve made the necessary adjustments based on your feedback and hope everything is in order now. If there’s anything I may have missed or if further changes are needed, I’d be grateful if you’d be kind enough to let me know. Thank you again for your patience and thoughtful guidance — it truly means a lot.

smoelius · 2025-04-08T09:35:32Z

I'm sorry, but there are still changes to dylint-link. Adding a test case for the unnecessary_conversion_for_trait false positive from #1531 should not require changes to dylint-link.

It's not an issue in itself, but many of this PR's changes seem unrelated to PR's actual purpose. Could I suggest applying more scrutiny to the code your AI tool is producing?

@enfayz Is the one remaining change to dylint-link just to get tests to pass? If so, could you please try rebasing on master? (That change should be in master.)

…necessary-conversation

enfayz · 2025-05-03T03:09:27Z

@smoelius I've rebased the branch onto the latest master, but the CI failures are still persisting. Please let me know if there's anything specific I should look into or adjust to resolve the issues. Thank you for your patience.

smoelius · 2025-05-03T14:33:48Z

@enfayz Not to be pedantic, but technically what you did was a merge rather than a rebase.

What I would do would be:

git checkout fix-unnecessary-conversation
git pull https://github.com/trailofbits/dylint master --rebase

That should rebase your branch onto Dylint's master branch.

But regarding the CI failures, there are still changes to many files that I think should not need to be changed.

The errors indicate that the lint is not building, but it builds in master.

I think the only files that should need to change are:

the .rs and .stderr files added to exhibit the false positive
src/lib.rs to add a #[test] function

So three files in total to should need to change (I think).
