[PATCH 2/2] rust: macros: simplify `format!` arguments
From: Miguel Ojeda
Date: Tue Mar 31 2026 - 17:06:47 EST
Clippy in Rust 1.88.0 (only) reported [1] up to the previous commit:
warning: variables can be used directly in the `format!` string
--> rust/macros/module.rs:112:23
|
112 | let content = format!("{param}:{content}", param = param, content = content);
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

= help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#uninlined_format_args
= note: `-W clippy::uninlined-format-args` implied by `-W clippy::all`
= help: to override `-W clippy::all` add `#[allow(clippy::uninlined_format_args)]`
help: change this to
|
112 - let content = format!("{param}:{content}", param = param, content = content);
112 + let content = format!("{param}:{content}");
The reason it only triggers in that version is that the lint was moved
from `pedantic` to `style` in Rust 1.88.0 and then back to `pedantic`
in Rust 1.89.0 [2][3].
In this case, the suggestion is fair and a pure simplification, thus
just apply it.
In addition, do the same for another place in the file that Clippy does
not report because it is multi-line.
