Description

Summary

While trying to do a code with #[allow(unused_variables)] i saw that it shows the warning message even with this line.

Reproducer

I tried this code:


#[allow(unused_variables)]
pub fn main () {
    let a = 4;
    return ()
}
Does the code make use of any (1.49) nightly feature ?
