1771212 - Make test_crash_abort.js actually test calls to abort()

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, defect)

Description

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

I didn't notice it before but the test is not actually testing what it's supposed to test:

• On Windows it's disabled because abort() calls __fastfail() but I should be able to fix that with WER
• On Linux and macOS abort() gets redirected to mozalloc_abort() which - at least on macOS - doesn't exercise the SIGABRT handler but rather the regular EXC_BAD_ACCESS exception catcher

So we should enable this on Windows (and make it pass) and make sure we're really, really calling the system abort() on macOS and Linux.
