Rollup merge of rust-lang#73672 - nellshamrell:async-fix, r=estebank
Adds a clearer message for when the async keyword is missing from a f…
…unction
This is a somewhat simple fix for rust-lang#66731.
Under the current version of Rust, if a user has a rust file that looks like this:
```rust
fn boo (){}
async fn foo() {
boo().await;
}
fn main() {
}
```
And they attempt to run it, they will receive an error message that looks like this:
```bash
error: incorrect use of `await` --> test.rs:4:14 | 4 | boo.await(); | ^^ help: `await` is not a method call, remove the parentheses error[E0277]: the trait bound `fn() {boo}: std::future::Future` is not satisfied --> test.rs:4:5 | 4 | boo.await(); | ^^^^^^^^^ the trait `std::future::Future` is not implemented for `fn() {boo}` error: aborting due to 2 previous errors For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0277`.
```
This is not very clear.
With the changes made in this PR, when a user compiles and runs that same rust code, they will receive an error message that looks like this:
```bash
error[E0277]: `()` is not a future.
--> test.rs:4:5
|
4 | boo().await;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^ `()` is not a future
|
= help: the trait `std::future::Future` is not implemented for `()`
= note: required by `std::future::Future::poll`
```
In the future, I think we should make this error message even clearer, perhaps through a solution like the one described in [this comment](rust-lang#66731 (comment)). However, as that potentially involves a major change proposal, I would rather get this change in now and make the error message a little clearer while an MCP is drafted and discussed.
