SIFR-ASYNC-0001: Async function body has no real suspension effect. - Sifr

SIFR-ASYNC-0001 belongs to the Async effect and awaitability diagnostic family. It means: async function body has no real suspension effect.

Why It Happens

Sifr tracks suspension and blocking effects statically. This diagnostic fires when async code either does not really suspend, awaits work that cannot suspend, or calls blocking/CPU-heavy work without an explicit offload boundary.

Use sifr --explain SIFR-ASYNC-0001 locally to see the renderer’s exact message template and any machine-applicable suggestions for the compiler version you are running.

Erroneous Code

async def cached() -> int:
    return 1

How To Fix It

Make the function synchronous when it never suspends, or add a real asynchronous operation if it truly belongs in async code.

Fixed Code

def cached() -> int:
    return 1
