clippy::redundant_feature_names: Checks for feature names with prefix use-, with- or suffix -support

What it meansChecks for feature names with prefix use-, with- or suffix -support It is in the cargo group and off by default.

Does it matter?

These prefixes and suffixes have no significant meaning.

Checks on Cargo.toml metadata. Off by default.

How to fix it

Clippy does not fix this one automatically. Change the code by hand:

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]
redundant_feature_names = "warn"

In code

#![warn(clippy::redundant_feature_names)]

One run

cargo clippy -- -W clippy::redundant-feature-names

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 feature names with prefix use-, with- or suffix -support

Why is this bad?

These prefixes and suffixes have no significant meaning.

Example

[features]
default = ["use-abc", "with-def", "ghi-support"]
use-abc = []  // redundant
with-def = []   // redundant
ghi-support = []   // redundant

Use instead:

[features]
default = ["abc", "def", "ghi"]
abc = []
def = []
ghi = []

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