Details

The shell harness creates a GCHeap, enters it and also creates a GC and enters it. It would easier to write certain kinds of tests if this wasn't so, like maybe the shell could restrict itself to system memory and avoid creating/entering a GC (at least on the selftest invocation path). An example would be having a test that uses GCHeap::Abort

Target Milestone: --- → Future
Reopen if there are specific tests that need to be written that can't be written effectively in any other way, with specific suggestions for how to change the code to enable those tests to be written. As it is, the selftest harness creates and enters GCs and that seems to be good enough.
