If the program crashes, GDB will halt and the user can debug the application. Note that testing timeouts are disabled in this case so `meson test` will not kill `gdb` while the developer is still debugging it. The downside is that if the test binary freezes, the test runner will wait forever. +Sometimes, the GDB binary is not in the PATH variable or the user wants to use a GDB replacement.
