<h1><a class="header" href="#error-handling" id="error-handling">Error Handling</a></h1>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Rust’s commitment to reliability extends to error handling. Errors are a fact
|
|||
|
|
of life in software, so Rust has a number of features for handling situations
|
|||
|
|
in which something goes wrong. In many cases, Rust requires you to acknowledge
|
|||
|
|
the possibility of an error and take some action before your code will compile.
|
|||
|
|
This requirement makes your program more robust by ensuring that you’ll
|
|||
|
|
discover errors and handle them appropriately before you’ve deployed your code
|
|||
|
|
to production!</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Rust groups errors into two major categories: <em>recoverable</em> and <em>unrecoverable</em>
|
|||
|
|
errors. For a recoverable error, such as a file not found error, it’s
|
|||
|
|
reasonable to report the problem to the user and retry the operation.
|
|||
|
|
Unrecoverable errors are always symptoms of bugs, like trying to access a
|
|||
|
|
location beyond the end of an array.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Most languages don’t distinguish between these two kinds of errors and handle
|
|||
|
|
both in the same way, using mechanisms such as exceptions. Rust doesn’t have
|
|||
|
|
exceptions. Instead, it has the type <code>Result<T, E></code> for recoverable errors and
|
|||
|
|
the <code>panic!</code> macro that stops execution when the program encounters an
|
|||
|
|
unrecoverable error. This chapter covers calling <code>panic!</code> first and then talks
|
|||
|
|
about returning <code>Result<T, E></code> values. Additionally, we’ll explore
|
|||
|
|
considerations when deciding whether to try to recover from an error or to stop
|
|||
|
|
execution.</p>
