So... I wonder what does abort() offer to the testsuite?
that, for example, _exit(-(__LINE__)) ;
doesn't?
The testsuite can be run on embedded systems over serial ports, where is sometimes limited communication available.
Using two functions is flexible in a different way: it means that you can compile the testsuite with -Dabort=my_favorite_abort and link against your own library. So do that. You can do this with magic in site.exp, but don't ask me what that magic is because I no longer remember.
Thanks for the info, Iain
