Guide panic_immediate_abort users away from -Cpanic=unwind and towards -Cpanic=abort to avoid an accidental use of the feature with the unwind strategy, e.g., on a targets where unwind is the default.

The -Cpanic=unwind combination doesn't offer the same benefits, since the code would still be generated under the assumption that functions implemented in Rust can unwind.

Hey! It looks like you've submitted a new PR for the library teams!

If this PR contains changes to any rust-lang/rust public library APIs then please comment with @rustbot label +T-libs-api -T-libs to tag it appropriately. If this PR contains changes to any unstable APIs please edit the PR description to add a link to the relevant API Change Proposal or create one if you haven't already. If you're unsure where your change falls no worries, just leave it as is and the reviewer will take a look and make a decision to forward on if necessary.

Examples of T-libs-api changes:

  • Stabilizing library features
  • Introducing insta-stable changes such as new implementations of existing stable traits on existing stable types
  • Introducing new or changing existing unstable library APIs (excluding permanently unstable features / features without a tracking issue)
  • Changing public documentation in ways that create new stability guarantees
  • Changing observable runtime behavior of library APIs

Guide `panic_immediate_abort` users away from `-Cpanic=unwind` and
towards `-Cpanic=abort` to avoid an accidental use of the feature with
the unwind strategy, e.g., on a targets where unwind is the default.

The `-Cpanic=unwind` combination doesn't offer the same benefits, since
the code would still be generated under the assumption that functions
implemented in Rust can unwind.

While this is true, I'm not sure that warrants sealing it off entirely? I guess I don't know why you'd want panic=unwind+panic_immediate_abort, but it's not like it's inherently nonsensical...

I don't see any use case for panic=unwind+panic_immediate_abort either. Given that this configuration is broken since #104999 (for reasons described in #107016), I would use this as an opportunity to disable it entirely to avoid accidental misuse. If an actual use-case arises later, we can always revert.

Hm, is it currently broken?

Yes, the panic=unwind+panic_immediate_abort combination is broken right now.

Hm, okay. This seems fine as it gives a better error message, then.
