According to #53224 (comment) this needs approval by the lang team, so cc @rust-lang/lang, how do you feel about uplifting this lint? |

(Lang hat on, but not after a team discussion) That sounds eminently reasonable to me. Using a loop feels wrong when something weaker (like Exactly what the best suggestion would be I'm less confident. Especially for EDIT after the lang meeting: This feels to me like a general idea of "well the trait bound is nice (for things like |

We can suggest the latter iff foo() is iterable. Honestly I think any of these suggestions would be extremely helpful - the hard part is realizing this doesn't do what you want, I think it's ok for the suggestion not to be ideal since the fix will usually be pretty obvious to the author. |

This looks like a great lint. Looking at the example where it would warn made me shudder; catching that seems like a big help. I agree that just flagging suffices to call attention to the problem. In terms of suggestions, I think it would make sense to suggest:
There are other possibilities, such as I think it'd be appropriate to make this warn-by-default. |

We discussed this in today's @rust-lang/lang meeting, and we're in favor. Let's do it. |

Uplift `clippy::for_loops_over_fallibles` lint into rustc
This PR, as the title suggests, uplifts [`clippy::for_loops_over_fallibles`] lint into rustc. This lint warns for code like this:
```rust
for _ in Some(1) {}
for _ in Ok::<_, ()>(1) {}
```
i.e. directly iterating over `Option` and `Result` using `for` loop.
There are a number of suggestions that this PR adds (on top of what clippy suggested):
1. If the argument (? is there a better name for that expression) of a `for` loop is a `.next()` call, then we can suggest removing it (or rather replacing with `.by_ref()` to allow iterator being used later)
```rust
for _ in iter.next() {}
// turns into
for _ in iter.by_ref() {}
```
2. (otherwise) We can suggest using `while let`, this is useful for non-iterator, iterator-like things like [async] channels
```rust
for _ in rx.recv() {}
// turns into
while let Some(_) = rx.recv() {}
```
3. If the argument type is `Result<impl IntoIterator, _>` and the body has a `Result<_, _>` type, we can suggest using `?`
```rust
for _ in f() {}
// turns into
for _ in f()? {}
```
4. To preserve the original behavior and clear intent, we can suggest using `if let`
```rust
for _ in f() {}
// turns into
if let Some(_) = f() {}
```
(P.S. `Some` and `Ok` are interchangeable depending on the type)
I still feel that the lint wording/look is somewhat off, so I'll be happy to hear suggestions (on how to improve suggestions :D)!

@jyn514 showed an interesting bug:
The sneaky bug is that
rx.recv().awaitreturns anOptionandOptionimplementsIntoIterator. So instead of callingrx.recv().awaitrepeatedly until it returnsNone(intended usage), this calls it once and executes the loop body if it'sSome(x).This can easily be written by a newcomer or even an experienced user, it compiles and does an unexpected thing. This is especially easy to write with
asynccode since we don't haveasyncversion offorloop andwhile letis commonly used instead.Option: IntoIteratoris useful in generic code or with iterator combinators (e.g..chain(opt)), but I think using it in aforloop is never intended.Clippy has a lint for that:
for_loops_over_fallibleswhich, in my opinion, should be uplifted torustc.Clippy currently only suggests using
if let Some(i.e. preserving code behavior), but we could also suggest usingwhile let Some(i.e. changing code behavior, inrecvcase to the good) and, in case offor x in i.next()we can suggestfor x in i(iterator specific fix).I'm willing to work on this, but want to first get a signoff that we indeed want to uplift the lint :)
