694661 - asserts call abort() which displays a dialog on windows, halting automated testing

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Optimizing JIT, defect)

Description

[Trevor Baker]

Attachment: dialog box

Per Rick, abort() is called in asserts, which displays a dialog and waits for user input, halting automated testing.

"In a single or multithreaded Windows-based application, abort calls the Windows MessageBox function to create a message box to display the message with an OK button."

"When the application is linked with a debug version of the run-time libraries, abort creates a message box with three buttons: Abort, Retry, and Ignore."

Looks like we'll need to call _set_abort_behaviour to disable the box.
