Issue #19578 has been reported by Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme). ---------------------------------------- Bug #19578: abort() shows stack trace when run within rescue clause https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19578 * Author: Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I sometimes use the pattern `print(str) rescue abort` in order to exit without stack trace when the output of a ruby program is interrupted by SIGPIPE, ex: `./printstuff.rb | head` It seems that since ruby 2.7 this results in printing the stack trace. This is not the case when using `abort` by itself. Is this intended? I would expect `abort` to behave much like `exit(1)`, as it always has. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
