Description

Location

https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/panic/trait.RefUnwindSafe.html

Summary

The implementations of RefUnwindSafe for &T and &mut T are missing from the documentation.

This is weird as the UnwindSafe documentation includes the implementations for references and pointers, but RefUnwindSafe only has the pointer implementations listed.
