abort
and unwind
The previous section illustrates the error handling mechanism panic
. Different code paths can be conditionally compiled based on the panic setting. The current values available are unwind
and abort
.
Building on the prior lemonade example, we explicitly use the panic strategy to exercise different lines of code.
Here is another example focusing on rewriting drink()
and explicitly use the unwind
keyword.
The panic strategy can be set from the command line by using abort
or unwind
.
rustc lemonade.rs -C panic=abort
