Post-mortem test suite #37
Description
I'd like to set up tests running llnode against coredumps. I've noticed that the current suite only tests attaching to a running process, and I'd like to extend it to run the same tests on an aborted process (I think the simplest method would be to run with --abort-on-uncaught-exception and then run the existing suite on the dump).
Does anyone have any views on how this should look (or how this should be implemented)?

+1 for this, I would suggest testing core dumps from segv crash and out of memory scenarios as well as uncaught exception.

Sounds interesting indeed!
It'll most likely require a custom CI infrastructure with the core dumps enabled. cc @nodejs/jenkins-admins and @thealphanerd maybe?

We have one test case that checks core dumps on OS X at the moment. It would be great to have something broader for other unixes too.

@gibfahn Are you still working on this?

First step is getting tests in CI with nodejs/build#777.

Testing on TravisCI is working, and the Build WG is working to create a llnode job on Jenkins (nodejs/build#1025). Since we have a llnode test suite working right now and there's a tracking issue to create the Jenkins job, I'll close this, but feel free to reopen.
