clippy::suspicious_op_assign_impl: Lints for suspicious operations in impls of OpAssign, e.g. subtracting elements in an AddAssign impl

What it meansLints for suspicious operations in impls of OpAssign, e.g. subtracting elements in an AddAssign impl. It is in the suspicious group and warns by default.

Does it matter?

This is probably a typo or copy-and-paste error and not intended.

Code that is most likely wrong or useless. Warns by default.

How to fix it

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

Flagged

impl AddAssign for Foo {
    fn add_assign(&mut self, other: Foo) {
        *self = *self - other;
    }
}

Turn it off, or on

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

On one item

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

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
suspicious_op_assign_impl = "allow"

One run

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::suspicious-op-assign-impl

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.
