Mostly. Actually, it seems it calls the C++ runtime's std::terminate, which in turns call a user-settable handler function which is abort() if you haven't changed it.

I think it's the right thing to do, for OSX at least.

Perhaps it could be useful if the programmer could substitute his own handler function (similar to what you can do with std::set_terminate in C++) if he wants to do something special (such as a core dump).
