Small library which captures segmentation faults on native code, outputs the backtrace and the line that caused the fault which can compiled as a static library and used like this:
$ make
$ LD_PRELOAD=./segfault.so ./experiment # experiment is a small C program that segfaultsand it will output something like
========== The program crashed =========
==> context
0x4004b6
/home/javierhonduco/c-nice-sigsegv/experiment.c:3
==> offending sigsegv line
*faulty = 314;
==> stacktrace

========================================
Warning! I just made this for learning purposes, it's probably not safe to use and it's not portable either. Only tested in a Linux 4.9.11 box w/ GCC version 6.3.1 installed.
