  = note: `#[warn(clippy::is_digit_ascii_radix)]` 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?

is_digit(..) is slower and requires specifying the radix.

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

How to fix it

Clippy can fix this one for you: run cargo clippy --fix (add --allow-dirty if you have uncommitted changes). Review the diff before you commit.

Flagged

let c: char = '6';
c.is_digit(10);
c.is_digit(16);

Write this instead

let c: char = '6';
c.is_ascii_digit();
c.is_ascii_hexdigit();

Turn it off, or on

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

On one item

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

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
is_digit_ascii_radix = "allow"

One run

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::is-digit-ascii-radix

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.

What it does

Finds usages of char::is_digit that can be replaced with is_ascii_digit or is_ascii_hexdigit.

Why is this bad?

is_digit(..) is slower and requires specifying the radix.

Example

let c: char = '6';
c.is_digit(10);
c.is_digit(16);

Use instead:

let c: char = '6';
c.is_ascii_digit();
c.is_ascii_hexdigit();
