[PATCH 1/2] rust: allow `clippy::collapsible_match` globally
From: Miguel Ojeda
Date: Sun Apr 26 2026 - 10:42:34 EST
The `clippy::collapsible_match` lint [1] can make code harder to read
in certain cases [2], e.g.
CLIPPY P rust/libmacros.so - due to command line change
warning: this `if` can be collapsed into the outer `match`
--> rust/pin-init/internal/src/helpers.rs:91:17

91 | / if nesting == 1 {
92 | | impl_generics.push(tt.clone());
93 | | impl_generics.push(tt);
94 | | skip_until_comma = false;
95 | | }
| |_________________^

= note: `-W clippy::collapsible-match` implied by `-W clippy::all`
= help: to override `-W clippy::all` add `#[allow(clippy::collapsible_match)]`
help: collapse nested if block

90 ~ TokenTree::Punct(p) if skip_until_comma && p.as_char() == ','
91 ~ && nesting == 1 => {
92 | impl_generics.push(tt.clone());
93 | impl_generics.push(tt);
94 | skip_until_comma = false;
95 ~ }

The lint does not have much upside -- when the suggestion may be a good
one, it would still read fine when nested anyway. And it is the kind of
lint that may easily bias people to just apply the suggestion instead
of allowing it.
Thus just let developers decide on their own.
