This has been fixed and we use nightly to lint so we have access to the
merged fix.
Removing the attribute uncovers a bunch of real lint warnings, fix
them while we are at it.
We use `TBD` in our `deprecated` string and it was discovered that there
is an exception on this string so as not to warn because it is used
internally by the Rust language. However there is a special lint to
enable warnings, lets use it.
Add `#![warn(deprecated_in_future)]` to the coding conventions section
of all crates except `fuzz`.
Examples in documentation are not linted in the same way as other code,
but should still contain correctly written code.
Throughout all of the crates except internals (another commit) unused
variables have been prefixed with `_`, unused imports have been removed,
and a warn attribute added to all of the `lib.rs` files.
Eventually we would like all our crates other than `bitcoin` to be able
to be used without an allocator. Currently, and during crate smashing,
this is not that useful because so much of the code comes from `bitcoin`
and relies on the availability of an allocator.
As an initial step, add the `alloc` feature to `addresses` , `base58`,
and `primitives`.
In order to to keep `--no-default-features` builds working make the
crates empty if the `alloc` feature is not enabled. This is a suboptimal
solution because the error messages users will get when they forget to
enable `alloc` will be confusing (eg something like primitives does not
contain Transaction). However our CI script (`run_task.sh`) expects
`--no-default-features` to build cleanly (as do I).
We intend on splitting the address types and logic out into a separate
crate. In preparation for doing so, and so that we can grab the name on
crates.io, add an empty crate `bitcoin-addresses`.
Tie it in to the CI infrastructure.
