From Rust nightly-2019-09-16 to nightly-2019-06-18, something has caused the following code to start throwing an unreachable expression warning. Changing it from an async fn to an fn throws no warnings.

async fn read_until(r: &mut std::net::TcpStream, byte: u8) -> io::Result<Vec<u8>> {
    let mut buffer = Vec::new();
    let mut single = [0; 1];
    loop {
        r.read(&mut single)?;
        buffer.push(single[0]);
        if single[0] == byte {
            return Ok(buffer);
        }
    }
}
error: unreachable expression
  --> src/main.rs:4:83

   |        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A more recent nightly(2019-09-21) specifies the warning more closely:

warning: unreachable expression
  --> src/main.rs:3:83
   |
3  |   async fn read_until(r: &mut std::net::TcpStream, byte: u8) -> io::Result<Vec<u8>> {

6  | |     loop {
...  |
12 | |     }
13 | | }
   | |_^
   |
   = note: `#[warn(unreachable_code)]` on by default
note: any code following this expression is unreachable
  --> src/main.rs:6:5

7  | |         r.read(&mut single)?;
8  | |         buffer.push(single[0]);

10 | |             return Ok(buffer);
