Lint Name

implicit-clone

Reproducer

I tried this code:

fn main() {
    let x = &Baz;
    let y = &Baz;

    y.to_owned() == *x;
}

#[derive(PartialEq)]
struct Baz;

impl ToOwned for Baz {
    type Owned = Baz;
    fn to_owned(&self) -> Baz {
        Baz
    }
}

I saw this happen:

This likely indicates a bug in either rustc or cargo itself,
and we would appreciate a bug report! You're likely to see
a number of compiler warnings after this message which cargo
attempted to fix but failed. If you could open an issue at
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues
quoting the full output of this command we'd be very appreciative!
Note that you may be able to make some more progress in the near-term
fixing code with the `--broken-code` flag

The following errors were reported:
error[E0277]: can't compare `&Baz` with `Baz`
 --> src/main.rs:5:23
  |
5 |     let _ = y.clone() == *x;
  |                       ^^ no implementation for `&Baz == Baz`
  |
  = help: the trait `std::cmp::PartialEq<Baz>` is not implemented for `&Baz`
  = help: the trait `std::cmp::PartialEq` is implemented for `Baz`

error: aborting due to previous error

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0277`.
Original diagnostics will follow.
