How to safely and effectively cause (abnormal) termination of a program when something goes wrong.

• std::terminate? std::abort? std::exit? std::quick_exit?
• assert?
• throw unhandled exception?
• cause processor exception (many ways people try to do this involve UB eg dereferencing a null pointer)
• other?

Also - how to test this?

Length

Not sure. Long form? Multi part? There's probably a lot to cover here.
