Comment #3 on issue 2848 by [email protected]: cctest: TestJSONStringifyAccessCheck() fails with empty handle in r16208
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2848

Yes, it is a known problem that running a set of tests directly through the "cctest" binary in one process breaks a lot of tests. We only run tests through the test harness, which spawns a new process for each single test (modulo threaded tests). To be specific, the following incarnation works and gives you the same coverage:

./tools/run-tests.py --arch=x64 --mode=debug --no-presubmit cctest/test-api

That being said, I agree that it is _very_ confusing that the "cctest" binary has the ability to run multiple tests in one process, even though the tests are written in a way that doesn't support that. But I don't think we will benefit from fixing all the tests in that regard, it will not give us additional coverage.

My proposal would be to either remove the ability to run multiple tests in one process from "cctest", or at least print a big fat warning if it does. People have been bitten by this several times already.
