`derive_partial_eq_without_eq` will trigger for third party crate derives
Summary
error: you are deriving `PartialEq` and can implement `Eq`
--> my/project/folder/mod.rs:90:48

90 | #[derive(third_party::Trait, Debug)]
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

= help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#derive_partial_eq_without_eq
= note: this error originates in the derive macro `third_party::Trait` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)
derive_partial_eq_without_eq
seems to trigger for proc macro derives from third party crates which adds PartialEq
but not Eq
, which while a user can theoretically add an implementation for / derive Eq
as well, it could cause breakage when the crate author updates and adds the missing implementation / derive as well
Reproducer
I tried this code:
#[derive(third_party::Trait, Debug)]
I expected to see this happen: No lint error
Instead, this happened: A lint error for derive_partial_eq_without_eq

@rustbot claim
Adding some context fore anyone who would want to try to fix this: in LateContext
, the derive attributes don't exist anymore as they were already expanded, making it very tricky to actually check if the type has #[derive(PartialEq)]
. A solution would be to actually parse the source code, starting from Span::lo
of the type and going back until you finda stop character (like }
or ;
). This is quite tricky to do though, so not an easy fix.
