<p>The function will never return and will immediately terminate the current
process in a platform specific "abnormal" manner.</p>
<p>Note that because this function never returns, and that it terminates the
process, no destructors on the current stack or any other thread's stack
will be run.</p>
<p>This is in contrast to the default behaviour of <a href="../../std/macro.panic.html"><code>panic!</code></a> which unwinds
the current thread's stack and calls all destructors.
When <code>panic="abort"</code> is set, either as an argument to <code>rustc</code> or in a
crate's Cargo.toml, <a href="../../std/macro.panic.html"><code>panic!</code></a> and <code>abort</code> are similar. However,
<a href="../../std/macro.panic.html"><code>panic!</code></a> will still call the <a href="../../std/panic/fn.set_hook.html">panic hook</a> while <code>abort</code> will not.</p>
<p>If a clean shutdown is needed it is recommended to only call
this function at a known point where there are no more destructors left
to run.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
