Klint is a Rust compiler extension

developed by Gary Guo to run some
kernel-specific lint rules, which may also be useful for embedded system
development. He spoke about his
recent work on the project at

Kangrejos 2025. The next day, Alejandra González
led a discussion about Rust’s normal linter,

Clippy. The two tools offer complementary approaches to analyzing Rust
kernel code, although both need some additional direction and support from
kernel developers to reach their full potential.
