// lets us control the behavior when aborting, in order to get better results
// on *NIX platforms. See mozalloc_abort for details.
//
// For AddressSanitizer, we must not redefine system abort because the ASan
// option "abort_on_error=1" calls abort() and therefore causes the following
// call chain with our redefined abort:
//
// ASan -> abort() -> moz_abort() -> MOZ_CRASH() -> Segmentation fault
//
// That segmentation fault will be interpreted as another bug by ASan and as a
// result, ASan will just exit(1) instead of aborting.
