Lint Name

single_component_path_imports

Reproducer

I tried this code:

use std;

fn main() {
    let _ = self::std::io::stdout();
}

I saw this happen:

warning: this import is redundant
 --> src/main.rs:1:1
  |
1 | use std;
  | ^^^^^^^^ help: remove it entirely
  |
  = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#single_component_path_imports
  = note: `#[warn(clippy::single_component_path_imports)]` on by default

Applying the suggestion breaks the build:

The following errors were reported:
error[E0433]: failed to resolve: could not find `std` in the crate root
 --> src/main.rs:8:19
  |
8 |     let _ = self::std::io::stdout();
  |                   ^^^ could not find `std` in the crate root

error: aborting due to previous error

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0433`.
Original diagnostics will follow.
