Unwrapping the result of option_env!
will panic at runtime if the environment variable doesn’t exist, whereas env!
catches it at compile-time, ensuring safer code execution.
Code examples
Noncompliant code example
---_
let _ = option_env!("HOME").unwrap(); // Noncompliant: Can panic at runtime.

Compliant solution
---_
let _ = env!("HOME"); // Compliant: Ensures compile-time checking.
