Summary

The lint only_used_in_recursion is raising an error but I cannot figure out why.
You can check this Rust Playground here.

Lint Name

only_used_in_recursion

Reproducer

I tried this code (Rust Playground):

#![deny(clippy::only_used_in_recursion)] struct Value(i32); fn set_to_last(mut value: Value, values: &[i32]) { value.0 = *values.iter().last().unwrap(); }

I saw this happen:

error: parameter is only used in recursion --> src/lib.rs:6:16 | 6 | fn set_to_last(mut value: Value, values: &[i32]) { | ^^^^^^^^^ help: if this is intentional, prefix with an underscore: `_value` | note: the lint level is defined here --> src/lib.rs:2:9 | 2 | #![deny(clippy::only_used_in_recursion)] | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#only_used_in_recursion 

I expected no error.
