New Clippy lint flags potentially panicking calls in Rust
Original: HUGE NEWS FOR CLIPPY: :nkotada: On Clippy 1.101,the new lint `undocumented_may_panic_call` adds `// PANIC` comments, and
Clippy 1.101 introduces a new lint called `undocumented_may_panic_call`, which automatically adds `// PANIC` comments marking calls that may panic, alongside new `#[clippy::may_panic]` attributes. Developers say this makes it possible to maintain a fully unpanickable Rust codebase, which is particularly useful for embedded development where panics can be dangerous or unacceptable.
Why now: The lint addresses a long-standing pain point for Rust developers, especially those working on embedded or safety-critical systems, by making potential panic sites explicit.
