Abort on fail not working

[hl037]

I tried to run this unit test (ttt.hpp):

#include <cxxtest/TestSuite.h>

class TestT : public CxxTest::TestSuite{
public:
  void test_t1(){
    TS_ASSERT_EQUALS(0,1);
  }
  void test_t2(){
    TS_ASSERT_EQUALS(0,1);
  }
  void test_t3(){
    TS_ASSERT_EQUALS(0,1);
  }
  void test_t4(){
    TS_ASSERT_EQUALS(0,1);
  }
  
};

by executing :

cxxtestgen --error-printer --have-eh --abort-on-fail -o testrunner_abort.cpp ttt.hpp
g++ -O0 testrunner_abort.cpp -o aa.out
./a.out

but It does not abort on any fail as the documentation says :

Running cxxtest tests (4 tests)
In TestT::test_t1:
ttt.hpp:6: Error: Expected (0 == 1), found (0 != 1)
In TestT::test_t2:
ttt.hpp:9: Error: Expected (0 == 1), found (0 != 1)
In TestT::test_t3:
ttt.hpp:12: Error: Expected (0 == 1), found (0 != 1)
In TestT::test_t4:
ttt.hpp:15: Error: Expected (0 == 1), found (0 != 1)
Failed 4 and Skipped 0 of 4 tests
Success rate: 0%

(I also tried to exec it with gdb and nothing is reported, the program exit normally with only the exit code non zero, but nothing about an abort...)

This may be caused by the "do nothing" at this line : https://github.com/CxxTest/cxxtest/blob/master/cxxtest/RealDescriptions.cpp#L122

By the way, why throwing and catching an exception on abort ?

I think, the goal of aborting on fail is to be able to use a debugger to stop where the problem is... Thus why not simply call std::abort() (or a user-defined abort function if no std libs) in TestSuite::doAbortTest?
