Qt Creator may incorrectly show crashed tests as passing (gtest)

Running a gtest which unexpectedly crashes will show the overall state as passing. A minimal (synthetic) example:

void iLikeOddNumbers(int n) {
{{   if(n % 2 == 0) { std::abort(); }}}
}

TEST(Foo, Bar) {
  iLikeOddNumbers(2);
}

While this is an artificial example, crashing can happen for many reasons in real world code so it's critical to surface the failures. This is particularly relevant to code bases using design-by-contract where violations intentionally result in fail-fast.

Right now, Qt Creator 4.x+ seems to update the test state incrementally, showing the passed tests so far. If a test results in an unexpected crash (not an explicit death test like ASSERT_DEATH) the partial results superficially look like an overall pass.
