Expand description
Signal a memory allocation error.
Callers of memory allocation APIs wishing to cease execution
in response to an allocation error are encouraged to call this function,
rather than directly invoking panic!
or similar.
This function is guaranteed to diverge (not return normally with a value), but depending on global configuration, it may either panic (resulting in unwinding or aborting as per configuration for all panics), or abort the process (with no unwinding).
The default behavior is:
-
If the binary links against
std
(typically the case), then print a message to standard error and abort the process. This behavior can be replaced withset_alloc_error_hook
andtake_alloc_error_hook
. Future versions of Rust may panic by default instead. -
If the binary does not link against
std
(all of its crates are marked#![no_std]
), then callpanic!
with a message. The panic handler applies as to any panic.
