Summary

Items sometimes move from std to core. For example, *UnwindSafe have moved, std::error::Error will move in Rust 1.81.0, and std::io::Error might someday.

When this happens, anyone who uses clippy from nightly or beta, or newer than their MSRV, will get lints they cannot satisfy. Therefore, it would be useful if std_instead_of_core, alloc_instead_of_core, and std_instead_of_alloc were MSRV-aware and only fired if the item in question is stable in core or alloc at the declared MSRV.

Lint Name

std_instead_of_core, alloc_instead_of_core, std_instead_of_alloc

Reproducer

I tried this code:

#![feature(custom_inner_attributes)]
#![warn(clippy::std_instead_of_core)]
#![clippy::msrv = "1.80.0"]

use std::error::Error;

I saw this happen:

warning: used import from `std` instead of `core`
 --> src/lib.rs:5:5
  |
5 | use std::error::Error;
  |     ^^^ help: consider importing the item from `core`: `core`

  = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#std_instead_of_core
note: the lint level is defined here
 --> src/lib.rs:2:9

2 | #![warn(clippy::std_instead_of_core)]
  |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I expected to see this happen: No warning
