    There is also rustig though it seems quite dead.

    There’s the rustig tool (https://github.com/Technolution/rustig) that looks for code paths leading to the panic handler. Not sure if it still works though.

    That's fair. I think I may just be a bit sore that Rustig was allowed to bit-rot and findpanics hasn't seen a commit since 2020.

    There's Rustig which does it for panics, though it seems unmaintained and uses inspection of the final binary rather than source code/AST inspection.

    > Doesnt Rust have implicit panics on indexing out of bounds?

    It does yes. A fair number of other constructs can panic as well.

    > I wonder if any codebases lint those away.

    Clippy has a lint for indexing so probably.

    For the general case, it's almost impossible unless you're working on very low-level software (embedded, probably kernel-rust eventually) e.g. `std` assumes allocations can't fail, so any allocation will show up as a panic path.

    https://github.com/Technolution/rustig can actually uncover panic paths, but because of the above the results are quite noisy, and while it's possible to uncover bugs thanks to rustig it requires pretty ridiculous amounts of filtering.

    This comment is strongly confused.

    That's a binary analysis tool. It is only approximate, and does not claim to be an accurate analysis like unsafe-checking and typechecking are:

    It also only works on x86_64 binaries.

    Panics are an ugly leftover from the bad old days before Rust had nice monad-like syntax for Result error-handling (the "?" syntax). It's time for panic to sunset.
