core/panicking.rs
1//! Panic support for core
2//!
3//! In core, panicking is always done with a message, resulting in a `core::panic::PanicInfo`
4//! containing a `fmt::Arguments`. In std, however, panicking can be done with panic_any, which
5//! throws a `Box<dyn Any>` containing any type of value. Because of this,
6//! `std::panic::PanicHookInfo` is a different type, which contains a `&dyn Any` instead of a
7//! `fmt::Arguments`. std's panic handler will convert the `fmt::Arguments` to a `&dyn Any`
8//! containing either a `&'static str` or `String` containing the formatted message.
9//!
10//! The core library cannot define any panic handler, but it can invoke it.
11//! This means that the functions inside of core are allowed to panic, but to be
12//! useful an upstream crate must define panicking for core to use. The current
13//! interface for panicking is:
14//!
15//! ```
16//! fn panic_impl(pi: &core::panic::PanicInfo<'_>) -> !
17//! # { loop {} }
18//! ```
19//!
20//! This module contains a few other panicking functions, but these are just the
21//! necessary lang items for the compiler. All panics are funneled through this
22//! one function. The actual symbol is declared through the `#[panic_handler]` attribute.
