So while trying to understand lowering better, I found out that there's something related to creating definitions. Analyzing that further, I realized that it is entirely dead code.

The parent_def field was only ever used for setting and resetting the field itself. The field was never read anywhere else and thus its value was entirely unused.

Maybe the unused_field lint should detect when the only use of a field is the field being read without using the read value other than writing back to the field?

The diff is best viewed without whitespace changes getting in the way: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/51034/files?w=1

Remove unused lowering field and method

r? @nikomatsakis

So while trying to understand lowering better, I found out that there's something related to creating definitions. Analyzing that further, I realized that it is entirely dead code.

The `parent_def` field was only ever used for setting and resetting the field itself. The field was never read anywhere else and thus its value was entirely unused.

Maybe the `unused_field` lint should detect when the only use of a field is the field being read without using the read value other than writing back to the field?
