This runs the test up to 10 000 times under GDB automatically. If the program crashes, GDB will halt and the user can debug the application. Note that testing timeouts are disabled in this case so mesontest will not kill `gdb` while the developer is still debugging it. The downside is that if the test binary freezes, the test runner will wait forever.

**NOTE:** If `meson test` does not work for you, you likely have a old version of Meson. In that case you should call `mesontest` instead. If `mesontest` doesn't work either you have a very old version prior to 0.37.0 and should upgrade.
