clippy::unsafe_removed_from_name: Checks for imports that remove “unsafe” from an item’s name

What it meansChecks for imports that remove “unsafe” from an item’s name. It is in the style group and warns by default.

Does it matter?

Renaming makes it less clear which traits and structures are unsafe.

Code that works but is not idiomatic Rust. Warns by default.

How to fix it

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

Flagged

use std::cell::{UnsafeCell as TotallySafeCell};

extern crate crossbeam;
use crossbeam::{spawn_unsafe as spawn};

Turn it off, or on

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

On one item

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

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
unsafe_removed_from_name = "allow"

One run

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::unsafe-removed-from-name

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.
