Pull request overview
This PR adds an ignore pattern for Rust compiler Internal Compiler Error (ICE) reports to the Rust.gitignore template. These crash reports are automatically generated when the compiler itself panics and should not be committed to version control.
Key changes:
- Added
rustc-ice-*.txtpattern to ignore compiler crash reports - Included explanatory comment documenting the purpose of ICE files

Add pattern to ignore Rust compiler crash reports
Reasons for making this change
The Rust compiler (
rustc) automatically generates Internal Compiler Error (ICE) report files when it encounters a bug in the compiler itself. These files are created in the working directory with the patternrustc-ice-<timestamp>-<pid>.txtand should not be committed to version control as they are diagnostic crash reports specific to individual developer environments.These ICE files are generated automatically during development when the compiler panics, often during:
cargo buildorcargo checkSince these are compiler crash reports (not build artifacts or developer-generated files), they should be ignored by default in Rust projects to prevent accidental commits.
