clippy::unusual_byte_groupings: Warns if hexadecimal or binary literals are not grouped by nibble or byte

What it meansWarns if hexadecimal or binary literals are not grouped by nibble or byte. It is in the style group and warns by default.

Does it matter?

Negatively impacts readability.

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

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 x: u32 = 0xFFF_FFF;
let y: u8 = 0b01_011_101;

Turn it off, or on

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

On one item

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

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
unusual_byte_groupings = "allow"

One run

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::unusual-byte-groupings

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.
