Descrizione
**Description of the false positive**
The `await` expression is used to run coroutines, which by design have side-effects. However, CodeQL erroneously treats a bare `await` expression like any other bare expression and thus assumes it has no side-effects and is used in error. This leads to false-positive flags when `await` is used to trigger a side-effect without a return value.
```python3
def foo():
...
# close a critical resource
await aclose
```
