Emacs is not supposed to crash, but if it does, it produces a crash report prior to exiting.
I am posting this for those who are interested in Emacs crashes and the reports. Although it is generally difficult to intentionally and consistently cause a crash, it is possible.
just evaluate:
(clear-string (symbol-name t)) (This is NOT an Emacs bug.)
I initially thought this was because
clearing the name of t causes Lisp to fail to match the symbol t in obarray (a special hash table implementation) and a lookup error for such a critical and fundamental symbol typically results in recursive errors.
However, NickD's comment inspired me, so I tried:
(clear-string (symbol-name 'w32-notification-notify)) and this indeed caused Emacs to crash.
So,
"t" (the name of
t) is in read-only memory and trying to clear it is a no-no.
t) is in read-only memory and trying to clear it is a no-no. nil would work as well.
