cargo-clippy: Require that `Cargo.lock` is up to date.

cargo

$ cargo clippy --locked

try on your machine

The command cargo clippy --locked is used to run the Clippy linter for your Rust code using the locked dependency versions specified in the Cargo.lock file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

cargo: It is the package manager and build tool for Rust projects.
clippy: It is a popular linting tool for Rust that helps you identify potential issues, bad practices, and stylistic problems in your code.
--locked: This flag instructs Cargo to use the locked dependency versions specified in the Cargo.lock file. When cargo build or cargo update is run, Cargo generates a Cargo.lock file that records the specific versions of dependencies that were used during the last successful build. By using --locked in cargo clippy, you ensure that Clippy will analyze your code with the exact same dependency versions as before, maintaining consistency.

By using cargo clippy --locked, you can have consistent linting results and avoid unexpected issues that may arise due to changes in dependency versions.
