Motivation
The fake return edge was added in #2270 to improve type errors in instrumented async functions. However, it meant that the user block was being modified outside of
gen_block
. This created a negative interaction with #1614, which suppressed a clippy lint internally while explicitly enabling it on the user block. The installed fake return edge generated this same lint, but the user had no way to suppress it: lint directives above the instrumentation were ignored because of the internal suppression, and lints inside the user block could not influence the fake return edge's scope.Solution
We now avoid modifying the user block outside of
gen_block
, and restrict the fake return edge to async functions. We also apply the same clippy lint suppression technique to the installed fake return edge.Closes #2410.
