#![allow(unexpected_cfgs)] does not work for modules

[taiki-e]

I tried this code:

// lib.rs
mod a;

// a.rs
#![allow(unexpected_cfgs)] // for cfg(rustfmt)
#![cfg_attr(rustfmt, rustfmt::skip)]

I expected to see this happen: no warning

Instead, this happened: #![allow(unexpected_cfgs)] is ignored:

warning: unexpected `cfg` condition name: `rustfmt`
 --> src/a.rs:2:13

Even if adding #[allow(unexpected_cfgs)] to mod a;, the result is the same.

I would also expect the #[allow] to work here.

However, I don't think you need the cfg_attr anymore, it can be removed safely.

- #![cfg_attr(rustfmt, rustfmt::skip)]
+ #![rustfmt::skip]

[taiki-e]

it can be removed safely.

No. Custom inner attributes are unstable.

Oh, good point, but they can (stably) be applied directly to the mod, like this:

#[rustfmt::skip]
mod a;

Another thing that isn't right here is that the rustfmt cfg is not a well known cfg.

I have never been able to find where that cfg might be set by rustfmt so I (wrongly) assumed it was anymore, looks this I was wrong.

they can (stably) be applied directly to the mod, like this:

#[rustfmt::skip]
mod a;

Unfortunately, that is not an option available to me due to a rust-analyzer bug: rust-lang/rust-analyzer#10826 (comment)
