RS.CLIPPY.NONMINIMAL_BOOL

Boolean expressions that can be written more concisely

This checker is a Clippy lint created by The Rust Project Contributors. The documentation shown here is a copy of the original documentation for: nonminimal_bool. Copyright ©2025 The Rust Team. All rights reserved.

What it does

Checks for boolean expressions that can be written more concisely.

Why is this bad?

Readability of boolean expressions suffers from unnecessary duplication.

Known problems

Ignores short circuiting behavior of || and &&. Ignores |, & and ^.

Example

if a && true {}
if !(a == b) {}

Use instead:

if a {}
if a != b {}
