Adds a new attribute called
start_async
, it has the exact same behavior asstart
but rewrites the function to a non-async version that contains thespawn_local
inside it.The purpose is to allow
async fn main()
to be used in Cargo binaries. It's similar to what#[tokio::main]
and others do.This could have also been done by adjusting
start
, but the issue is that it might break some behavior, for example one could rely on the function actually beingasync
, which it wouldn't be after the rewrite. This could be mitigated by adjusting the behavior only for functions calledmain
, but it's still a breaking change I would argue.Fixes #3076.
