Actix-web: error: expected identifier, found reserved keyword `async`

[bbigras]

When using the new async_await stuff.

error: expected identifier, found reserved keyword `async`
   --> src/main.rs:334:21
    |
334 |     Ok(AsyncResult::async(Box::new(f)))
    |                     ^^^^^ expected identifier, found reserved keyword

It this problem with 2018 edition only?
I'm not seeing it on stable rustc

[bbigras]

Yes. I'm assuming the new async stuff is only for 2018.

[fafhrd91]

we should rename it

[DoumanAsh]

@fafhrd91 it should be ok to do such breaking change on 0.7 I guess? otherwise we couldn't let people compile on newer compilers where async is reserved

[fafhrd91]

i think it should be fine, i dont think AsyncResult is being used outside of actix-web

[DoumanAsh]

Ok, I'll fix it tomorrow, I guess we should do it before next Rust release

[DoumanAsh]

@bbigras New version 0.7.15 is published to remove usage of async keyword

@fafhrd91 I also had to update actix since otherwise we'd have multiple copies of crossbeam-channel and parking_lot when using actix-web

[bbigras]

Thank you very much.
