Description

Summary

I don't think it should.

Lint Name

derive_partial_eq_without_eq

Reproducer

I tried this code:

#[derive(PartialEq)]
pub enum Explore {
    Stable,
    RecentlyStabilized,
    Unstable,
}

in a binary crate: I saw the derive_partial_eq_without_eq being triggered. I expected to not have it trigger.

Research direction

Start by locating the derive_partial_eq_without_eq lint and reproducing the diagnostic with the provided enum in a binary crate. Compare that behavior with the expected binary-crate scope; done when the lint no longer triggers there and the case has regression coverage.
