Is it possible to print a backtrace in Rust without panicking?

问题

Is it possible to print a backtrace (assuming RUST_BACKTRACE is enabled) without panicking? It seems that the only way of doing that is calling via panic!. If not, is there a reason for it?

回答1:

Rust uses the backtrace crate to print the backtrace in case of panics (has been merged in PR #60852).

A simple example can be found in the crate documentation

use backtrace::Backtrace;

fn main() {
    let bt = Backtrace::new();

    // do_some_work();

    println!("{:?}", bt);
}

which gives for example

stack backtrace:
