clippy::naive_bytecount: Checks for naive byte counts

What it meansChecks for naive byte counts It is in the pedantic group and off by default.

Does it matter?

The bytecount crate has methods to count your bytes faster, especially for large slices.

Stricter lints with some false positives. Off by default; opt in with clippy::pedantic.

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

let count = vec.iter().filter(|x| **x == 0u8).count();

Write this instead

let count = bytecount::count(&vec, 0u8);

Turn it off, or on

It is off by default. To use it, set it to warn or deny:

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
naive_bytecount = "warn"

In code

#![warn(clippy::naive_bytecount)]

One run

cargo clippy -- -W clippy::naive-bytecount

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 naive byte counts

Why is this bad?

The bytecount crate has methods to count your bytes faster, especially for large slices.

Known problems

If you have predominantly small slices, the bytecount::count(..) method may actually be slower. However, if you can ensure that less than 2³²-1 matches arise, the naive_count_32(..) can be faster in those cases.

Example

let count = vec.iter().filter(|x| **x == 0u8).count();

Use instead:

let count = bytecount::count(&vec, 0u8);

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