| |
| A Rust attribute macro to require that the compiler prove a function can't ever |
| panic. |
| |
| ```toml |
| [dependencies] |
| no-panic = "0.1" |
| ``` |
| |
| ```rust |
| use no_panic::no_panic; |
| |
| #[no_panic] |
| fn demo(s: &str) -> &str { |
| &s[1..] |
| } |
| |
| fn main() { |
| println!("{}", demo("input string")); |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| If the function does panic (or the compiler fails to prove that the function |
| cannot panic), the program fails to compile with a linker error that identifies |
| the function name. Let's trigger that by passing a string that cannot be sliced |
| at the first byte: |
| |
| ```rust |
| fn main() { |
| println!("{}", demo("\u{1f980}input string")); |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| ```console |
| Compiling no-panic-demo v0.0.1 |
| error: linking with `cc` failed: exit code: 1 |
| | |

| |
| ERROR[no-panic]: detected panic in function `demo` |
| ' |
| collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status |
| ``` |
| |
| The error is not stellar but notice the ERROR\[no-panic\] part at the end that |
| provides the name of the offending function. |

| *Compiler support: requires rustc 1.31+* |

| |
| ### Caveats |
| |
| - Functions that require some amount of optimization to prove that they do not |
| panic may no longer compile in debug mode after being marked `#[no_panic]`. |
| |
| - Panic detection happens at link time across the entire dependency graph, so |
| any Cargo commands that do not invoke a linker will not trigger panic |
| detection. This includes `cargo build` of library crates and `cargo check` of |
| binary and library crates. |
| |
| - The attribute is useless in code built with `panic = "abort"`. |
| |
| If you find that code requires optimization to pass `#[no_panic]`, either make |
| no-panic an optional dependency that you only enable in release builds, or add a |
| section like the following to Cargo.toml to enable very basic optimization in |
| debug builds. |
| |
| ```toml |
| [profile.dev] |
| opt-level = 1 |
| ``` |
| |
| If the code that you need to prove isn't panicking makes function calls to |
| non-generic non-inline functions from a different crate, you may need thin LTO |
| enabled for the linker to deduce those do not panic. |
| |
| ```toml |
| [profile.release] |
| lto = "thin" |
| ``` |
| |
| If you want no\_panic to just assume that some function you call doesn't panic, |
| and get Undefined Behavior if it does at runtime, see [dtolnay/no-panic#16]; try |
| wrapping that call in an `unsafe extern "C"` wrapper. |
