As
b3sumdoes not attempt to recover from panics (nor does it have any reason to attempt to do that), it has no use for Rust's default behavior of unwinding on panics. Switchingb3sumtopanic = "abort"makes the executable about 13% smaller (from 1.5 MiB to 1.3 MiB) and possibly provides more optimization opportunities to LLVM. Note that this does not impact the display of backtraces, which are still displayed usinglibunwind– the only features that are disabled are the ability to catch panics usingstd::panic::catch_unwindand the non-fatal nature of panics in non-main threads.
