    signal func test/debug

    I have programmed a signal routine to catch segmentation faults under windows. How can I test it? How can I send a segsegv signal to my programm in run-time
    thx.

    Try to access a random (or NULL) pointer, perhaps?

    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!

    It works great.
    Is there any way to know where line of code (or at lest any tip) from where the signal came from?

    Only by looking at the stack-trace, I think.
