The lint would just have the deny
level by default, i.e. same behavior as if everyone had #![deny(lint_name)]
in their crates, but if you use warn(lint_name)
, or even allow(lint_name)
, it would get relaxed.
There is a stricter level than deny
, called forbid
, and that one cannot be relaxed, i.e. you can put #![forbid(unsafe_code)]
and nothing in the crate can allow unsafe code for just a module/function/etc., whereas with #![deny(unsafe_code)]
it’s possible.
