As I bumble around with half-understood syntax (and an AI assistant's even poorer guesses) I keep generating files that cause compiler crashes/panics. These go away once I fix my code, but they aren't exactly helpful feedback. Is it worth filing bug reports, or is that just a waste of everyone's time?
In the current case, the panic offers to emit a backtrace if I set RUST_BACKTRACE appropriately, but all I get (with full
) is a pile of hexadecimal addresses, so presumably I would need debug symbols. I guess I should be building from source? Which involves setting up Rust and Zig build environments?

With nix you can set things up quickly.
Is it worth filing bug reports
Yes please :)

But I mean there are a lot - I've got a totally different program that gives me the same message now, and I can't tell whether it's the same bug or another.
Oh yeah no need to create essentially duplicate issues for cases where the message is the same
