It's well known that certain compiler optimisations matter way more than others (e.g. inlining).
Is there a similar principle for linters? I find red squiggles under unused/undefined variables the single most useful check.

I would have thought that invoking a C compiler would be a solved problem. Looking at Rust's cc crate there's a remarkable long tail of corner cases to fix.
Exotic CPUs, microarchitectures, compiler differences, operating system differences, etc.
Today I learnt that `cargo fix` won't fix code with compiler errors by default, but you can override this!
$ cargo fix --broken-code --allow-dirty && cargo clippy --fix --allow-dirty
This incantation does exactly what I wanted :)
