To add to that, Rust code is generally not written to be 'exception-safe' when panics occur: if a third-party function causes a panic, or if your own code panics from within a callback, then memory may be leaked, and objects in use may end up in an incorrect or unusable state.
You really want to avoid sharing mutable objects across a catch_unwind() boundary, and also avoid using it on a regular basis. Aside from memory leaks, panicking runs the thread's panic hook, which by default prints a stacktrace. You can override the panic hook to be a no-op, but then you won't see anything for actual panics.
