Lint Name

redundant_static_lifetimes

Reproducer

I tried this code:

static mut TEST: &'static mut [isize] = &mut [1];
static mut EMPTY: &'static mut [isize] = &mut [];

pub fn main() {
    unsafe {
        TEST[0] += 1;
        assert_eq!(TEST[0], 2);
    }
}

I saw this happen:
cargo clippy --fix -- -Aclippy::all -Wclippy::redundant_static_lifetimes

    Checking clpy v0.1.0 (/tmp/clpy)
warning: failed to automatically apply fixes suggested by rustc to crate `clpy`

after fixes were automatically applied the compiler reported errors within these files:

  * src/main.rs

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[E0594]: cannot assign to `TEST[_]`, which is behind a `&` reference
 --> src/main.rs:6:9
  |
6 |         TEST[0] += 1;
  |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^ cannot assign

error: aborting due to previous error
