Description

This test case is designed to confirm that ABRT can properly detect and diagnose application crashes from C/C++ programs.

How to test

In /etc/abrt/abrt.conf, ensure a reporting mechanism is configured for the CCpp plugin. A sample configuration that uses the Logger reporting plugin is noted below #:
```
CCpp = Logger
```
Restart the abrtd service with the command su -c 'service abrtd restart'
Choose a C or C++ application to crash. For this example, we will use the sleep command which is provided by coreutils
Run the application you wish to capture a crash. If using the sleep command, open a terminal and run the command: sleep 5m
In another terminal, force an application crash by locating the process id, and using the kill command, or using pkill or killall. For example, pkill -SIGSEGV sleep
A desktop notification should appear in notification area. Open abrt-gui by clicking on it
Pick the crash from the list, generate a crash report by pressing "Report" button, then choosing one of configured reporters (e.g. Logger, the simplest one). The prompt to choose a reporter plugin appears only if you have more than one configured

Expected Results

The abrt application should detect the failure by updating the desktop icon
Clicking the icon, or running the command abrt-gui should display recently crashed applications
Selecting the application from abrt-gui and reporting the failure should generate a proper backtrace. Proper backtrace should have symbolic information, for example:
Core was generated by `sleep 1260'.
