error: expected item after attributes using Rust 1.41

[galich]

Our app fails to compile because of the following error given by rustc 1.41.0 (5e1a79984 2020-01-27)

error: expected item after attributes

This appears to be an incompatibility introduced with futures-util 0.3.2, probably related to #1891 #1976. Easy fix is to update to 0.3.2 of futures as well or downgrade futures-util back to 0.3.1.

@cramertj worth yanking 0.3.2 (maybe just -util) and publishing a fix as 0.3.3? Seems like a difficult situation to get into unless you're pinning the version of futures but not pinning the underlying libraries.

[cramertj]

Sure, I'll publish 0.3.3 once #2062 is in. In general, though, using old futures facades with new versions of futures-util is a pretty odd usecase that we won't be testing against, and I'd advise against pinning the futures facade without pinning the inner crates-- I can't think of any reason why you'd want that behavior.

[galich]

Good catch, we do actually pin in the app. But we can't do that for 3rd party crates obviously. May be it's time to re-evalutate Cargo.lock for pinning.

[galich]

thanks for the update, it works perfectly
