Warn on unused results for operation methods on nums From a suggestion by @llogiq Adds a `#[must_use]` attribute to operation methods on integers that take self by value as the first operand and another value as the second. It makes it clear that these methods return the result of the operation instead of mutating `self`, which is the source of a rather embarrassing bug I had in a codebase of mine recently... As an example: ```rust struct Int { value: i64, } impl Int { fn add(&mut self, other: i64) { self.value.wrapping_add(other); } } ``` Will produce a warning like: ``` warning: unused return value of `core::num::<impl i64>::wrapping_add` that must be used --> src/main.rs:7:7 | 7 | self.value.wrapping_add(other); | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | = note: #[warn(unused_must_use)] on by default = note: this returns the result of the operation, without modifying the original ``` If this is something we're on board with, we could do something similar for `f32` and `f64` too. There are probably other methods on integers that make sense.
