 *
 *  \brief Test features of the test framework.
 *
 * When you run this program, it runs a single "meta-test". A meta-test
 * performs an operation which should be caught as a failure by our
 * test framework. The meta-test passes if this program calls `exit` with
 * a nonzero status, or aborts, or is terminated by a signal, or if the
 * framework running the program considers the run an error (this happens
 * with Valgrind for a memory leak). The non-success of the meta-test
 * program means that the test failure has been caught correctly.
 *
 * Some failures are purely functional: the logic of the code causes the
 * test result to be set to FAIL. Other failures come from extra
 * instrumentation which is not present in a normal build; for example,
 * Asan or Valgrind to detect memory leaks. This is reflected by the
 * "platform" associated with each meta-test.
 *
 * Use the companion script `tests/scripts/run-metatests.sh` to run all
 * the meta-tests for a given platform and validate that they trigger a
 * detected failure as expected.
