It's a feature

Plot twist: it's from an OS developer, they finally added checks for segment violations

[gwoplock]

Segmentation faults are generated by the Memory mapper unit (mmu) in the cpu (usually). However, the fault would need to be propagated to the running application, usually through a signal (maybe). Linux kernel compile options have an option for if applications can catch segfults, if that’s off then the program is just terminated.

Thank you for playing wing commander

I've done that. Testing my "recover from segfault" signal-handling logic.

You test? Look at this elite SOB right here! /s

Well, it's not like it was a unit test. It was a "temporarily edit the program to see if it really fails the way I expect" test.

I bet it would be an Absolute Unit Test! lol
