Description
This is a tracking issue for stable panic=abort support in libtest. This is currently enabled by passing -Z panic-abort-tests while compiling a test. It also includes a currently unstable option in test binaries, --force-run-in-process.
About tracking issues
Tracking issues are used to record the overall progress of implementation. They are also uses as hubs connecting to other relevant issues, e.g., bugs or open design questions.
A tracking issue is however not meant for large scale discussion, questions, or bug reports about a feature. Instead, open a dedicated issue for the specific matter and add the relevant feature gate label.
Steps
- Implement the feature
- Resolve Tests in panic=abort can hang if test spawns a subprocess #68936: Tests in panic=abort can hang if test spawns a subprocess
- Adjust documentation (see instructions on rustc-dev-guide)
- Stabilization PR (see instructions on rustc-dev-guide)
Unresolved Questions
Does this need an RFC? MCP?
