Struct std::panic::PanicInfo

1.10.0· source · [−]

pub struct PanicInfo<'a> { /* fields omitted */ }

Expand description

A struct providing information about a panic.

PanicInfo structure is passed to a panic hook set by the set_hook function.

Examples

use std::panic;

panic::set_hook(Box::new(|panic_info| {
    if let Some(s) = panic_info.payload().downcast_ref::<&str>() {
        println!("panic occurred: {:?}", s);
    } else {
        println!("panic occurred");
    }
}));

panic!("Normal panic");

Implementations

source

impl<'a> PanicInfo<'a>

source

pub fn payload(&self) -> &(dyn Any + Send + 'static)

Returns the payload associated with the panic.

This will commonly, but not always, be a &'static str or String.

Examples

use std::panic;

panic::set_hook(Box::new(|panic_info| {
    if let Some(s) = panic_info.payload().downcast_ref::<&str>() {
        println!("panic occurred: {:?}", s);
    } else {
        println!("panic occurred");
    }
}));

panic!("Normal panic");

Run

source

pub fn message(&self) -> Option<&Arguments<'_>>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (panic_info_message #66745)

If the panic! macro from the core crate (not from std) was used with a formatting string and some additional arguments, returns that message ready to be used for example with fmt::write

source

pub fn location(&self) -> Option<&Location<'_>>

Returns information about the location from which the panic originated, if available.

This method will currently always return Some, but this may change in future versions.

Examples

use std::panic;

panic::set_hook(Box::new(|panic_info| {
    if let Some(location) = panic_info.location() {
        println!("panic occurred in file '{}' at line {}",
            location.file(),
            location.line(),
        );
    } else {
        println!("panic occurred but can't get location information...");
    }
}));

panic!("Normal panic");
