Printf during Crash

[arunraj2002in]

Consider;

void crash(void)
{
printf("hello") ;
*((*char)0) = 0;
}

The above program leads to crash. Why?

Also string "hello" won't get printed. Why?

Shouldn't that be *((char*)0)=0;? I think your version doesn't even compile.

kind regards,

You don't own memory location 0. Program crashes with access violation for using memory outside the process address space.

Hello printed. However, the output may still be in the output buffer when the crash occurs.
