How to disable unused variable warning in Rust?

Question

According to this answer, #[allow(dead_code)] should work, but it doesn't

fn main() {
    #[allow(dead_code)]
    let x = 0;
}

The best way would be to remove the unused code. Maybe you'd be better off explaining why that approach is one you're avoiding, someone might be able to give you a better solution. — loganfsmyth, Jun 22 '21 at 01:18

These are different lints. dead_code refers to unused code at the item level, e.g. imports, functions and types. unused_variables refers to variables that are never accessed.

You can also cover both cases with #[allow(unused)].

Also, prefixing the variable name with an underscore suppresses the warning: `let _x = 0;` – Jmb Jun 22 '21 at 07:03

The correct is

fn main() {
    #[allow(unused_variables)]
    let x = 0;
}
