Add the undocumented_unsafe_blocks lint #7557

changelog: add the [undocumented_unsafe_blocks] lint.

Fixes #7464.

The lint was proposed as a style lint, I implemented it as a restriction lint, which is preferred?

I have some concerns when it comes to performance with this lint. With the current implementation, this lint will potentially re-lex every file in the crate, if there are unsafe blocks.

I agree that this lint fits best in restriction, but I would also add a

if is_lint_allowed(...) {
    return;
}

to the top of the check_expr/check_block method. That and my suggestions below should deal with the performance impact.

impl_lint_pass!(UndocumentedUnsafeBlocks => [UNDOCUMENTED_UNSAFE_BLOCKS]);

fn check_expr(&mut self, cx: &EarlyContext<'_>, expr: &rustc_ast::Expr) {

There's also a check_block method.

Since we don't really care about correct and complete syntax in the file, but only finding comments immediately above the unsafe block, you should be able to optimize this. I think you can use the get_enclosing_scope in combination with the opt_span methods and then slice the to-tokenize src with the start of the enclosing scope up until the start of the block/the start of the line the unsafe block is in (for let stmts).

To do this, you would have to turn this lint into a LatePassLint, but that is a tradeoff I'm willing to take in order to not re-lex whole files just to find a comment, of which we already know where it should be.

To make sure that just slicing the src works as expected, please add a test case with unicode chars in the comment and the code above the unsafe block.


With this change, you also might be able to just directly return if the checked block has a SAFETY comment right above it, without having to do BytePos and span.hi()/.lo() gymnastics. Basically you have to track if after lexing the suggested part of the file, the last thing you saw was a comment and if it was a SAFETY comment.

fn check_expr(&mut self, cx: &EarlyContext<'_>, expr: &rustc_ast::Expr) {

I think you can add a in_external_macro check here, since this lint shouldn't be triggered for those.

I'd like to see some tests of how this lint behaves in macros.

comments.remove(i);
}
else {
span_lint(cx, UNDOCUMENTED_UNSAFE_BLOCKS, expr.span, "this `unsafe` block is missing a SAFETY comment");

I think we should produce a help message here, suggesting to add a // SAFETY: ... above the unsafe block.

There's a test missing for the example in the documentation:

// SAFETY: bla
let _ = unsafe {};
