@panic

@panic

@panic(message: []const u8) noreturn

Invokes the panic handler function. By default the panic handler function calls the public panic function exposed in the root source file, or if there is not one specified, the std.builtin.default_panic function from std/builtin.zig.

Generally it is better to use @import("std").debug.panic. However, @panic can be useful for 2 scenarios:

• From library code, calling the programmer's panic function if they exposed one in the root source file.
• When mixing C and Zig code, calling the canonical panic implementation across multiple .o files.
