Description: Pointer authentication used in swift_create_task works with closures that return a generic type and using a closure like
() -> ()in the way discarding task group does was causing pointer auth failures onarm64epreventing adoption of DiscardingTaskGroup on that platform. The solution is to have fix the closure signature, but just discard the returned value.Risk: Medium, this changes the signature of the
addTaskAPIs from() -> ()to() -> T, however is source compatible. Adopters depending on ABI using a discarding group would have to be rebuilt. Code change wise, this is low risk.Review by: @mikeash
Testing: PR testing and have manually verified the pointer auth failure goes away on arm64e
