Is it if(*ptr = 5) or if(*ptr == 5)
If its if(*ptr = 5) then any version shld allow this ???
If its if(*ptr == 5) then TC is also not allowing ...
But I do agree with you to a great extent.

Kannan

Please don't believe TC for segmentation faults. It is not reliable in
segmentation faults area. Try this code:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int *ptr = (int*)0;
if(*ptr = 5)
{
printf("It worked");
}
}
To the best of my knowledge it works more times than not.
I think that is because DOS gives the whole of the avaibale memory
for the program under execution.
Also, the best that can be expected is that TC will get closed in
such cases.
