1.0.0[−][src]Type Definition std::thread::Result
type Result<T> = Result<T, Box<dyn Any + Send + 'static>>;
A specialized Result type for threads.
Indicates the manner in which a thread exited.
The value contained in the Result::Err variant
is the value the thread panicked with;
that is, the argument the panic! macro was called with.
Unlike with normal errors, this value doesn't implement
the Error trait.
Thus, a sensible way to handle a thread panic is to either:
unwraptheResult<T>, propagating the panic- or in case the thread is intended to be a subsystem boundary
that is supposed to isolate system-level failures,
match on the
Errvariant and handle the panic in an appropriate way.
A thread that completes without panicking is considered to exit successfully.
Examples
use std::thread; use std::fs; fn copy_in_thread() -> thread::Result<()> { thread::spawn(move || { fs::copy("foo.txt", "bar.txt").unwrap(); }).join() } fn main() { match copy_in_thread() { Ok(_) => println!("this is fine"), Err(_) => println!("thread panicked"), } }Run
