17.6 panic!

The panic! macro can be used to generate a panic and start unwinding its stack. While unwinding, the runtime will take care of freeing all the resources owned by the thread by calling the destructor of all its objects.

Since we are dealing with programs with only one thread, panic! will cause the program to report the panic message and exit.

// Re-implementation of integer division (/) fn division(dividend: i32, divisor: i32) -> i32 { if divisor == 0 { // Division by zero triggers a panic panic!("division by zero"); } else { dividend / divisor } } // The `main` task fn main() { // Heap allocated integer let _x = Box::new(0i32); // This operation will trigger a task failure division(3, 0); println!("This point won't be reached!"); // `_x` should get destroyed at this point }

Let's check that panic! doesn't leak memory.
