//! Standard library macros
//!
//! This modules contains a set of macros which are exported from the standard
//! library. Each macro is available for use when linking against the standard
//! library.
/// The entry point for panic of Rust threads.
///
/// This macro is used to inject panic into a Rust thread, causing the thread to
/// panic entirely. Each thread's panic can be reaped as the `Box<Any>` type,
/// and the single-argument form of the `panic!` macro will be the value which
/// is transmitted.
///
/// The multi-argument form of this macro panics with a string and has the
/// `format!` syntax for building a string.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```should_panic
/// # #![allow(unreachable_code)]
/// panic!();
/// panic!("this is a terrible mistake!");
/// panic!(4); // panic with the value of 4 to be collected elsewhere
/// panic!("this is a {} {message}", "fancy", message = "message");
/// ```

/// # Panics
///
/// Panics if writing to `io::stdout()` fails.
