Use #[expect] instead of #[allow] for Clippy lint exclusions#584
Merged
Conversation
Unlike `#[allow]`, `#[expect]` (stable since Rust 1.81) emits a warning if the lint stops firing, so the attribute flags itself as removable should the lint no longer apply: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/levels.html#expect GUS-W-23022354.
