Lints with no configuration

[BigfootN]

Hello,

I noticed that some lints (ex. absurd_extreme_comparisons) do not have any Configuration section.

Does this mean that:

• They can only be controlled in the code ? (not in the clippy.toml file)
• Or that they can only be controlled by their group ?

Thank you very much in advance

Note that Configuration in Clippy means configuring the lint and not the lint level. The lint level can only be configured in the code or the command line. Discussion about a configuration file for lint levels exists, see rust-lang/cargo#5034.

The configuration that can be done in the clippy.toml file only makes sense for some lints. A good example is the too_many_arguments lint, where you can specify in the clippy.toml file how many arguments you want to allow.

If you find a lint that could benefit from a configuration option, feel free to open an issue about it or ask over on Zulip.
