`bool::then` -> `bool::then_some` within `unnecessary_lazy_eval` can suggest fixes that can panic

[alokedesai]

Summary

The bool::then -> bool::then_some suggestions for unnecessary_lazy_eval can be problematic if the underlying body of the closure is not actually trivial. See repro below for a concrete example.

This is especially problematic because cargo clippy --fix will auto-fix this, which can inadvertently cause a new panic.

Lint Name

unnecessary_lazy_eval

Reproducer

I tried this code:

let foo : usize = 0;
let option = (foo > 0).then_some(|| foo - 1)

I saw this happen:

warning: unnecessary closure used with `bool::then`

This is incorrect, since bool:then will panic in a case where then_some would not have.

I expected to see this happen:
No clippy warning suggested.

Hey, thanks for reporting.

This seem a duplicate of #9422

@kraktus Yes thats correct! Feel free to close to keep that as the canonical issue :) Would love a status on this--we basically have to allow the unnecessary_lazy_evaluations throughout our project because of the concern it could cause panics with an errant fix
