Description
First noticed in https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/247081-t-compiler.2Fperformance/topic/Output.20of.20.60collector.20eprintln.60/near/204875468. If a lint is allowed, there is no need to run the lint pass. This could have large performance improvements for any crate where all lints are allowed (e.g. any dependency compiled by cargo, which uses --cap-lints allow
).
As a first pass this could check for --cap-lints allow
and run no lints if so. In the future it could skip individual lints. Rustc would have to be careful not to skip lints that are #![allow]
ed at the crate level but re-enabled for individual items.
The implementation would look similar to what I did in #73566 - override the query provider for lint_mod
so that it doesn't run lints at all.
