the code run inside the macro must succeed, otherwise we assert.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that `MUST(...)` should not be used as a replacement for `TRY(...)` in cases where error propagation is not (currently) possible.
|
||||||
|
Instead, the `release_value_but_fixme_should_propagate_errors()` method of `ErrorOr<>` should be used to retrieve the value
|
||||||
|
and to mark the location for future improvement. `MUST(...)` is reserved for cases where we determine through other circumstances that it
|
||||||
|
should not be possible for the code inside the macro to fail or if a failure is serious enough that the program _needs_ to crash.
