[Qemu-devel] Why not use exit() instead of abort()?

[Bernhard Kauer]

There are a couple of places in qemu, where abort() is called.
The most commonly used one is perhaps cpu_abort() which is called
e.g. when a triple fault occures.

As abort() does not call any atexit() function, cleanup is not
performed. This leaves for example the terminal in a state where
the cursor is invisible.

Are there any reasons not to use exit(1) in cpu_abort()?
