What it does

detect all locations where drop is called implicitly and suggest turning it into an explicit drop.

possibly has a setting to only warn about locations where a needs_drop value is dropped.

Advantage

would be handy as a learning and debugging tool, allowing you to essentially desugar your code.

Drawbacks

non-trivial implementation for a lint that will never be used in production code.

Example

fn main() {
  let s = "Hello, World".to_string();
  println!("{s}");
}

Could be written as:

fn main() {
  let s = "Hello, World".to_string();
  println!("{s}");
  drop(s);
}
