## Summary This is the second PR out of three that adds support for enabling/disabling lint rules in Red Knot. You may want to take a look at the [first PR](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/14869) in this stack to familiarize yourself with the used terminology. This PR adds a new syntax to define a lint: ```rust declare_lint! { /// ## What it does /// Checks for references to names that are not defined. /// /// ## Why is this bad? /// Using an undefined variable will raise a `NameError` at runtime. /// /// ## Example /// /// ```python /// print(x) # NameError: name 'x' is not defined /// ``` pub(crate) static UNRESOLVED_REFERENCE = { summary: "detects references to names that are not defined", status: LintStatus::preview("1.0.0"), default_level: Level::Warn, } } ``` A lint has a name and metadata about its status (preview, stable, removed, deprecated), the default diagnostic level (unless the configuration changes), and documentation. I use a macro here to derive the kebab-case name and extract the documentation automatically. This PR doesn't yet add any mechanism to discover all known lints. This will be added in the next and last PR in this stack. ## Documentation I documented some rules but then decided that it's probably not my best use of time if I document all of them now (it also means that I play catch-up with all of you forever). That's why I left some rules undocumented (marked with TODO) ## Where is the best place to define all lints? I'm not sure. I think what I have in this PR is fine but I also don't love it because most lints are in a single place but not all of them. If you have ideas, let me know. ## Why is the message not part of the lint, unlike Ruff's `Violation` I understand that the main motivation for defining `message` on `Violation` in Ruff is to remove the need to repeat the same message over and over again. I'm not sure if this is an actual problem. Most rules only emit a diagnostic in a single place and they commonly use different messages if they emit diagnostics in different code paths, requiring extra fields on the `Violation` struct. That's why I'm not convinced that there's an actual need for it and there are alternatives that can reduce the repetition when creating a diagnostic: * Create a helper function. We already do this in red knot with the `add_xy` methods * Create a custom `Diagnostic` implementation that tailors the entire diagnostic and pre-codes e.g. the message Avoiding an extra field on the `Violation` also removes the need to allocate intermediate strings as it is commonly the place in Ruff. Instead, Red Knot can use a borrowed string with `format_args` ## Test Plan `cargo test`

Method Resolution Order tests
Tests that assert that we can infer the correct type for a class's __mro__
attribute.
This attribute is rarely accessed directly at runtime. However, it's extremely important for us to know the precise possible values of a class's Method Resolution Order, or we won't be able to infer the correct type of attributes accessed from instances.
For documentation on method resolution orders, see:

__bases__
lists that cause errors at runtime
If the class's __bases__
cause an exception to be raised at runtime and therefore the class
creation to fail, we infer the class's __mro__
as being [<class>, Unknown, object]
:
# error: [inconsistent-mro] "Cannot create a consistent method resolution order (MRO) for class `Foo` with bases list `[<class 'object'>, <class 'int'>]`"
class Foo(object, int): ...
reveal_type(Foo.__mro__) # revealed: tuple[Literal[Foo], Unknown, Literal[object]]
class Bar(Foo): ...
reveal_type(Bar.__mro__) # revealed: tuple[Literal[Bar], Literal[Foo], Unknown, Literal[object]]

__bases__
includes a Union
We don't support union types in a class's bases; a base must resolve to a single ClassLiteralType
.
If we find a union type in a class's bases, we infer the class's __mro__
as being
[<class>, Unknown, object]
, the same as for MROs that cause errors at runtime.
