Summary

The manual_is_power_of_two lint:

  • may suggest invalid code by not adding required parentheses
  • suggest invalid code by not checking the MSRV in a const context

Reproducer

I tried this code:

#![allow(unused)]
#![warn(clippy::manual_is_power_of_two)]
#[clippy::msrv = "1.0.0"]
const fn f(a: i32) -> bool {
    a as u32 & (a as u32 - 1) == 0
}
fn main() {}

I expected to see this happen: either no suggestion, or a suggestion to use (a as u32).count_ones() == 1.

Instead, this happened:

warning: manually reimplementing `is_power_of_two`
 --> u.rs:6:5
  |
6 |     a as u32 & (a as u32 - 1) == 0
  |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: consider using `.is_power_of_two()`: `a as u32.is_power_of_two()`

Not only .is_power_of_two() cannot be used in a const context below Rust 1.32.0, but also the suggestion a as u32.is_power_of_two() lacks parentheses around a as u32.
