---The abort function, also declared in the standard include file STDLIB.H, terminates a C++ program. The difference between exit and abort is that exit allows the C++ run-time termination processing to take place (global object destructors will be called), whereas abort terminates the program immediately. For more information, see abort in the Run-Time Library Reference.
