Subject: [PATCH v2] rust: bitmap: document panics in `next_bit` and `next_zero_bit`
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 09:35:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828133543.2259029-1-georgeandrout13@gmail.com> (raw)
`next_bit()` and `next_zero_bit()` use `bitmap_assert!()` to check
that `start` is less than `self.len()`, which panics when
`CONFIG_RUST_BITMAP_HARDENED` is enabled. However, neither function
has a `# Panics` section, and both document that `None` is returned
for exactly the input that triggers the panic.
Update the documentation of `next_bit()` and `next_zero_bit()` to add
the missing `# Panics` sections, add the missing blank doc comment line
before `Returns` in `next_zero_bit()`, and simplify the wording.
