Description
Summary
Add option to expect constructor (new
) functions first in impl blocks.
Lint Name
arbitrary_source_item_ordering
Reproducer
I tried this code:
pub struct Foo {
bar: i32,
}
impl Foo {
pub fn new(bar: i32) -> Self {
Self { bar }
}
pub fn bar(&self) -> i32 {
self.bar
}
}
I saw this happen:
warning: incorrect ordering of items (must be alphabetically ordered)
--> src/foo.rs:9:12
|
9 | pub fn bar(&self) -> i32 {
| ^^^
|
note: should be placed before `new`
--> src/foo.rs:6:12
|
6 | pub fn new(bar: i32) -> Self {
| ^^^

I expected to see this happen:
Nothing.
Static functions called new
should be either ignored or expected to be the first item.
