Hmmm, seems like I mixed something up.
But I tested the following:
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
char * foo = NULL;
char * bar = NULL;
strcmp(foo, bar);
}
Under Linux it does nothing.
(Kernel 1.2.8, a.out binaries, libc 4.5.21 I think).
Under FreeBSD:
segmentation violation--core dumped
Under Solaris 2.3 and SunOS 4.1.2
segmentation violation--core dumped
Well, anyway. Are you successful with porting your software?
Good luck.
Ciao
