RUST Programming Language

The main objective is to Set up custom made lints for this Language using a static analysis tool called Dylint Lints for 60 MISRA rules which are not inbuilt in the RUST Compile

Dylint is a framework for writing and running custom lints for Rust. It lets you create your own lint rules as dynamic libraries that can be loaded into the Rust compiler at runtime. This means you can enforce project-specific coding standards or detect specific code patterns without modifying the compiler itself.

Example Rule : -

Rule 0.1.2: The Value Returned by a Function Shall Be Used

Detailed Explanation

Definition: Rule 0.1.2 states that the return value of a function must be used. This means that whenever a function produces a result, the calling code must either store, process, or explicitly discard it to avoid unintended behavior or logic errors.

Purpose of the Rule:

• Ensures that critical return values (e.g., error codes, status indicators) are not ignored, reducing the risk of silent failures.


• Encourages developers to handle function outputs properly, improving code reliability and maintainability.


• Helps prevent logical errors where an ignored return value could lead to inconsistent system states.
