clippy::vec_resize_to_zero: Finds occurrences of Vec::resize(0, an_int)

What it meansFinds occurrences of Vec::resize(0, an_int) It is in the correctness group and denied by default (the build fails).

Does it matter?

This is probably an argument inversion mistake.

Code that is almost certainly wrong. Denied by default: the build fails until you fix it or allow it.

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

vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5].resize(0, 5)

Write this instead

vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5].clear()

Turn it off, or on

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

On one item

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

Whole crate (Cargo.toml)

[lints.clippy]
vec_resize_to_zero = "allow"

One run

cargo clippy -- -A clippy::vec-resize-to-zero

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.
