Description
It would be great if we had some semi-automatic way of running clippy on all the/most of the rust tests https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test/ I believe this will unearth a couple more crashes and/or bugs.
Maybe we can hack the rustc test executor program and clamp clippy-driver in-between somehow...

Research direction
Start by examining the rustc test executor under src/test/ and the clippy-driver entry point. Determine whether the executor can run Clippy between test setup and execution, then define how to cover all or most official Rust tests and report crashes or bugs. Done means a repeatable semi-automatic test run with documented results.
