  = note: `#[warn(clippy::inconsistent_digit_grouping)]` on by default

Real output of Clippy 0.1.99 (Rust 1.99) on the example below. Names and line numbers in yours will differ.

Does it matter?

Readers may incorrectly interpret inconsistently grouped digits.

Code that works but is not idiomatic Rust. Warns by default.

How to fix it

Clippy does not fix this one automatically (its suggestion may change behaviour, so it only shows it). Change the code by hand:

Flagged

618_64_9189_73_511

Write this instead

61_864_918_973_511

Turn it off, or on

Allow it where it does not fit your code, as narrowly as you can:

On one item

#[allow(clippy::inconsistent_digit_grouping)]
fn my_function() { /* ... */ }

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
inconsistent_digit_grouping = "allow"

One run

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::inconsistent-digit-grouping

The [lints] table needs Rust 1.74 or newer. In a workspace, put it under [workspace.lints.clippy] and add [lints] workspace = true to each member.
