clippy::manual_is_infinite: Checks for manual is_infinite reimplementations (i.e., x == <float>::INFINITY || x == <float>::NEG_INFINITY)

What it meansChecks for manual is_infinite reimplementations (i.e., x == <float>::INFINITY || x == <float>::NEG_INFINITY). It is in the style group and warns by default.

Does it matter?

The method is_infinite is shorter and more readable.

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

if x == f32::INFINITY || x == f32::NEG_INFINITY {}

Write this instead

if x.is_infinite() {}

Turn it off, or on

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

On one item

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

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
manual_is_infinite = "allow"

One run

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::manual-is-infinite

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

Checks for manual is_infinite reimplementations (i.e., x == <float>::INFINITY || x == <float>::NEG_INFINITY).

Why is this bad?

The method is_infinite is shorter and more readable.

Example

if x == f32::INFINITY || x == f32::NEG_INFINITY {}

Use instead:

if x.is_infinite() {}
