Tools news

[nrc]

This is an issue to collect news about dev tools. If anything is happening, however minor, please leave a comment and let us know. Periodically (apx monthly, depending on how much news we get) I'll edit all the comments into a document, add it to the repo, and post to TWiR (and blog, tweet, etc.). Then open a new issue.

Rustfmt nightly 0.2.2 - new error messages, big perf improvement

[fitzgen]

bindgen v0.30.0 released: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/bindgen-automatically-generate-rust-ffi-bindings-to-c-and-c-libraries/12126/2

[llogiq]

Clippy has gained a few cleanups and some new lints: (maybe_)infinite_iter checks for operations exhausting infinite iterators (which will run out of time, space or both), naive_bytecount looks for naively implemented byte counting and suggests using the bytecount crate. Also the borrowed_box lint no longer triggers on Box<Any>.

[nrc]

Rustfmt 0.2.3

[fitzgen]

@jhod0 added the ability to print how long each of bindgen's phases takes (similar to -Z time-passes in rustc) rust-lang/rust-bindgen#933
