Description
This is a tracking issue for the RFC "Homogeneous Try Blocks" (rust-lang/rfcs#3721).
The feature gate for the issue is #![feature(try_blocks)].
This obviates the previous #31436 tracking issue (which had included other things like the ? operator itself and has gotten huge).
Note that this does not include heterogeneous try blocks; for those see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/149488.
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.
Steps
- Implement the RFC (cc @rust-lang/XXX -- can anyone write up mentoring
instructions?) - Adjust documentation (see instructions on rustc-dev-guide)
- Style updates for any new syntax (nightly-style-procedure)
- Style team decision on new formatting
- Formatting for new syntax has been added to the Style Guide
- (non-blocking) Formatting has been implemented in
rustfmt
- Stabilization PR (see instructions on rustc-dev-guide)
Unresolved Questions
How should the trait be named and structured?- Moved to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/91285 as it's arguably not part of the lang tracking issue.

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with RFC 3721 and the implementation history, especially PRs 148725 and 154409. Review the stabilization guide, documentation instructions, and linked style-guide material, then determine which unchecked tracking steps remain. Done means the documentation, syntax-style work, and stabilization process are completed and checked off.
