Description
What it does
This proposed lint would detect and warn about unnecessary trailing commas in macro parameters. While a trailing comma in macro parameters is not an error in Rust, it can be superfluous and might not align with some coding style preferences.
Advantage
- Improved Readability: Removing unnecessary trailing commas can make the code clearer and easier to read.
- Consistency: Enforcing this style can help maintain a consistent coding standard across the codebase.
Drawbacks
No response
Example
println!("Hello, world!", );
Could be written as:
println!("Hello, world!");

Research direction
No implementation file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating existing Rust Clippy lints for macro invocation style, then compare their tests and configuration; done means the lint detects the unnecessary trailing comma shown in the example without treating valid macro syntax as an error.
