Description

Summary

.

Lint Name

use_self

Reproducer

I tried this code:

struct Foo;

impl Foo {
    fn foo<const N: usize>(&self) -> usize {
        let f = self;
        f.bar::<{
            let f = Foo;
            f.bar::<7>()
        }>() + N
    }

    const fn bar<const M: usize>(&self) -> usize {
        M
    }
}

fn main() {
    let f = Foo;

    assert_eq!(f.foo::<13>(), 20)
}

I saw this happen:

warning: unnecessary structure name repetition
 --> const-arg-in-const-arg.rs:7:21

7 |             let f = Foo;
  |                     ^^^ help: use the applicable keyword: `Self`
  |
  = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#use_self
  = note: requested on the command line with `-W clippy::use-self`

I expected to see this happen:
Suggestion does not compile wif const_generic_exprs feature is not enabled

error: generic parameters may not be used in const operations
 --> const-arg-in-const-arg.rs:7:21

7 |             let f = Self;
  |                     ^^^^ cannot perform const operation using `Self`
  |
  = note: type parameters may not be used in const expressions
  = help: use `#![feature(generic_const_exprs)]` to allow generic const expressions

error: aborting due to previous error

Research direction

Start with the use_self lint implementation and the const-arg-in-const-arg.rs reproducer described in the report. Check how suggestions involving Self interact with generic_const_exprs, then add or update a regression test showing that the lint does not emit an uncompilable suggestion when the feature is unavailable.
