core::mem::unreachable - Rust
Description: API documentation for the Rust `unreachable` fn in crate `core`.
Keywords: rust, rustlang, rust-lang, unreachable

# Function core::mem::unreachable [−] [src]

    pub unsafe fn unreachable() -> !

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`unreachable` #43751)

Tells LLVM that this point in the code is not reachable, enabling further optimizations.

NB: This is very different from the `unreachable!()` macro: Unlike the macro, which panics when it is executed, it is undefined behavior to reach code marked with this function.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
