// libtest used to panic if it hit the thread limit. This often resulted in spurious test failures
// (thread 'main' panicked at 'called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: Os
// { code: 11, kind: WouldBlock, message: "Resource temporarily unavailable" }' ...
// error: test failed, to rerun pass '--lib').
// Since the fix in #81546, the test should continue to run synchronously
// if it runs out of threads. Therefore, this test's final execution step
// should succeed without an error.
// See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/81546

//@ only-linux
// Reason: thread limit modification
//@ ignore-cross-compile
// Reason: this test fails armhf-gnu, reasons unknown
//@ needs-unwind
// Reason: this should be ignored in cg_clif (Cranelift) CI and anywhere
// else that uses panic=abort.
