    \$\begingroup\$ The question really can't be answered without reference to a specific platform. There is, for example, no C code that is guaranteed to give a SIGSEGV on every platform. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 24, 2011 at 22:05

    \$\begingroup\$ @sehe: That'd be both faster and shorter if you would do std::cout << "SIGSEGV(Segmentation fault )\n"; instead. :-) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 24, 2011 at 22:23

    \$\begingroup\$ This is a question that has an answer. There is a shortest program that produces the desired result. I don't agree that it should've been closed. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 24, 2011 at 23:49
