#[must_use] is permitted on functions without return type #54828

Closed

Description

The following produces no warnings or errors:

#[must_use = "function with no return type"]
fn foo() {}

fn main() {
    foo();
}

Is this intended? Shouldn't it produce a lint warning on the attribute? This is a good mentoring issue, I can bang out instructions once I get an answer (fortunately this doesn't seem to involve hygiene this time so hopefully I should get it right... @petrochenkov)
