How to programmatically cause a core dump in C/C++

Question

I would like to force a core dump at a specific location in my C++ application.

I know I can do it by doing something like:

int * crash = NULL;
*cras         


        

Answer 1

 #include 
 #include 
 int main()
 {
   printf("\n");
   printf("Process is aborting\n");
   abort();
   printf("Control not reaching here\n");
   return 0;
 }

use this approach wherever you want :)
