Summary

Lint Name

redundant_pattern_matching

Reproducer

I tried this code:

#![feature(generator_trait)]
#![feature(generators)]
#![deny(unused_braces, unused_parens)]

use std::ops::Generator;
use std::pin::Pin;

fn main() {
    let mut x = |_| {
        while let Some(_) = (yield) {}
 
    };
    let _ = Pin::new(&mut x).resume(Some(5));
}

I saw this happen:

warning: redundant pattern matching, consider using `is_some()`
  --> issue-74883-unused-paren-baren-yield.rs:10:19

10 |         while let Some(_) = (yield) {}

   = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#redundant_pattern_matching

Using the suggested yield.is_some() introduces a type error:
