better-panic gives you pretty backtraces for panics.

It is inspired by Python tracebacks and tries to replicate them as well as possible. This is what it looks like:

Some of the code is based on the color-backtrace library.

Usage

The most common way to use it is to invoke the install function which installs a panic handler. In debug builds the backtrace is shown automatically, in release builds it’s hidden by default.

better_panic::install();

For more configuration see the Settings object.

Features

  • Colorize backtraces to be easier on the eyes
  • Show source snippets if source files are found on disk
  • Hide all the frames after the panic was already initiated

Structs

Configuration for panic printing.

Enums

Defines how verbose the backtrace is supposed to be.

Functions

Installs the panic handler with debug settings.

Installs the panic handler with Settings::auto.
