Bad C code to test a error handler

I am searching for "bad/broken" c code that I can use test a error handler on a mcu based system.

I am searching for code that will break during runtime.

So go crazy, what small pieces of code do you have in your back pocket that could be used to break a system. And should be handled by a error handler to avoid uncontrolled behaviour.

/Thanks

I will begin with a couple of examples.

Write to a null pointer

int* pointer = 0x0;
*pointer =开发者_运维问答 0xBAADC0DE;

Write a value to a pointer that is unvalid

int* pointer = 0xCAFEBABE;
*pointer = 0xDEADBEEF;

Jump to a unvalid function pointer

int (*fpBabe)() = 0xDEADBABE;
fpBabe();

So do you have some more bad things that you could throw at a error handler?

Divide by zero (and simple math to get at it in case the compiler tries to optimize it away):

int i = argc;
return 34/(argc-i);

Try accessing a high mem address, as well as a low one:

char *v = ~0;
*v = '\0';

If you have a heap mgmt library, try freeing twice:

char *ptr = malloc(4096);
free(ptr); free(ptr);

Try allocating memory without abandon:

for(;;)
    malloc(4096);

Try to exhaust the stack:

int foo(int arg) { return foo(arg+1); }
int main(int a, char *v[]) { return foo(1); }

---

int f() { return f() + f(); }
int g() { return g(); }
int h() { while(1); }

Exhaust the stack by mutual recursion (might be harder to detect):

int f(void) { return g(); }
int g(void) { return f(); }
int main(void) { return f(); }

...or by funny signal handling:

void handler(int n) { raise(n); raise(n); }
int main(void) { signal(SIGINT, &handler); raise(SIGINT); return 0; }

Destroy the heap:

for (char *x = malloc(1); *x++ = 42;);

Destroy the heap and blame free():

char *x = malloc(1);
for (int i = 0; i < 100; x[i++] = 42);
free(x);   // free() will probably segfault

Write past the end of a buffer:

 char dest[5];
 const char* src = "a bigger source";
 strcpy(dest,src);

or

 dest[5]='\0';
