Description

This is a tracking issue for the async drop codegen from MCP "727" (rust-lang/compiler-team#727).
The feature gate for the issue is #![feature(async_drop))].

About tracking issues

Tracking issues are used to record the overall progress of implementation.
They are also used as hubs connecting to other relevant issues, e.g., bugs or open design questions.
A tracking issue is however not meant for large scale discussion, questions, or bug reports about a feature.
Instead, open a dedicated issue for the specific matter and add the relevant feature gate label.
Discussion comments will get marked as off-topic or deleted.
Repeated discussions on the tracking issue may lead to the tracking issue getting locked.

The linked issues and pull requests provide the implementation history; completion requires resolving the remaining checklist items and preparing documentation and stabilization work.
