This PR:

  • lints more case of raw pointer comparisons
  • do not omit the named function to raw pointer conversion before suggesting
  • trigger the ptr_eq lint only if cmp_null doesn't trigger first, as this is a more specialized version
  • lints against != in addition to ==

The ptr_eq code has been moved from under operators to ptr.rs, in order to benefit from factorization.

Fix #14337

changelog: [ptr_eq]: handle more cases

Also, do not strip conversions of a function pointer to a `*const`, as
no implicit conversion will take place.
The `cmp_null` lint is more specialized than `ptr_eq`. The former should
take precedence, unless the user allows it.

The merge error seems unrelated:

Running linkchecker on "linkcheck/clippy"...
error: toolchain 'nightly-2025-02-27-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' is not installed
help: run `rustup toolchain install nightly-2025-02-27-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` to install it

@Manishearth Could you retry it?

@samueltardieu Do you have reason to believe it will succeed?

That error seems to have popped up in a few places, e.g.:

EDIT: I haven't figured out what wants that particular nightly toolchain or why.

I don't think simply retrying will work, because this job has been consistently failing with the same error lately.

I'm taking a closer look, but I'm still trying to figure out the cause.

Thanks @lapla-cogito, I am on my phone and did not see that other job failed as well.

Starting with Rust 1.87.0 (expected 2025-05-15) [1], Clippy may expand
the `ptr_eq` lint, e.g.:

    error: use `core::ptr::eq` when comparing raw pointers
       --> rust/kernel/list.rs:438:12
        |
    438 |         if self.first == item {
        |            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: try: `core::ptr::eq(self.first, item)`
        |
        = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#ptr_eq
        = note: `-D clippy::ptr-eq` implied by `-D warnings`
        = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(clippy::ptr_eq)]`

Thus clean the few cases we have.

This patch may not be actually needed by the time Rust 1.87.0 releases
since a PR to relax the lint has been beta nominated [2] due to reports
of being too eager (at least by default) [3].

Thus allow the lint temporarily just in case.
