What it meansChecks for manual implementations of isolating the lowest set bit. It is in the complexity group and warns by default.

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

The manual bit-twiddling forms are harder to read than the standard library method. Using -x can also overflow for signed minimum values.

Code that does something simple in a complicated way. 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 x: u32 = 5;
let lsb = x & x.wrapping_neg();

Write this instead

let x: u32 = 5;
let lsb = x.isolate_lowest_one();

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_isolate_lowest_one)]
fn my_function() { /* ... */ }

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
manual_isolate_lowest_one = "allow"

One run

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::manual-isolate-lowest-one

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.

Settings in clippy.toml

What it does

Checks for manual implementations of isolating the lowest set bit.

Why is this bad?

The manual bit-twiddling forms are harder to read than the standard library method. Using -x can also overflow for signed minimum values.

Example

let x: u32 = 5;
let lsb = x & x.wrapping_neg();

Use instead:

let x: u32 = 5;
let lsb = x.isolate_lowest_one();

Configuration

  • msrv: The minimum rust version that the project supports. Defaults to the rust-version field in Cargo.toml

    (default: current version)

From the Clippy lint list (0.1.99), part of the Rust project, MIT or Apache-2.0. Official entry.
