Summary

In order to suppress the needless_continue warning the corresponding allow attribute must be placed on entire function. I'm not sure if it is easy (or possible) to fix, but ideally the attribute can be placed on the continue expression itself. Please see the example.

Reproducer

Code:

#![warn(clippy::pedantic)]

fn some_condition() -> bool { true }
fn another_condition() -> bool { true }

fn main() {
    for _ in 0..5 {
        if some_condition() {
            // ...
            continue;
        }
        
        if another_condition() {
            // ...
            #[allow(clippy::needless_continue)]
            continue;
        }
    }
}

Current output:

warning: this continue expression is redundant

Desired output:
No warning as it should be suppressed by the allow attribute.
