  • # Challenge
  • Cause the currently running program to receive the SIGSEGV signal (on Linux) as fast as possible. What it does with the signal doesn't matter as long as it receives it.
  • This is code golf, smallest answer in each language wins. Some languages will have a tougher time than others. Keep in mind that if you depend on uninitalized data, it needs to *always* result in a segfault; a 0.000001% chance to not work invalidates your solution.
  • # Example program
  • ```c
  • #include <stddef.h>
  • #include <stdio.h>
  • int main() {
  • int* ohno = NULL;
  • printf("%d", *ohno);
  • }
  • ```

Cause the currently running program to receive the SIGSEGV signal (on Linux) as fast as possible

This is code golf, smallest answer in each language wins. Some languages will have a tougher time than others. Keep in mind that if you depend on uninitalized data, it needs to *always* result in a segfault; a 0.000001% chance to not work invalidates your solution.
# Example program
```c
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int* ohno = NULL;
    printf("%d", *ohno);
}
```
