RS.CLIPPY.SEMICOLON_IF_NOTHING_RETURNED
Add a semicolon if nothing is returned
This checker is a Clippy lint created by The Rust Project Contributors. The documentation shown here is a copy of the original documentation for: semicolon_if_nothing_returned. Copyright ©2025 The Rust Team. All rights reserved.
What it does
Looks for blocks of expressions and fires if the last expression returns
() but is not followed by a semicolon.
Why is this bad?
The semicolon might be optional but when extending the block with new code, it doesn't require a change in previous last line.
Example
fn main() {
println!("Hello world")
}
Use instead:
fn main() {
println!("Hello world");
}
