How to write a murder-program in C ???

[Ed Zagmoon]

I want to write a program that can kill people in C. Something
that will display flashing colors or fractal pictures that will
overload the brains of my victims so that they die.

But, how can I write such a deadly program?

I want to be the meanest mass-murderer of them all and
I don't want to be captured by the cops.

Please help me to achieve my goal and I won't kill you!!!

Easy, just keep invoking undefined behaviour. Sooner or later your
"Hamlet" is bound to be realised, though it may not be to your liking.

Anyway, I appreciate your idea.

Sorry, we don't do homework for you.
Please consult the FAQ.

You have to use PASM for that.

You might find the information you need in the comp.basilisk FAQ.

Here's an excerpt from a Borland compiler manual that might aid you:

7 Hz is the resonant frequency of a

chicken's skull cavity. This was determined

empirically in Australia, where a new factory

generating 7-Hz tones was located too close to a

chicken ranch: When the factory started up, all the

chickens died.

Your PC may not be able to emit a 7-Hz tone.

The C standard has no provision for creating graphics so
you cannot achieve your goal using standard C. I recommend
asking the same question on a newsgroup which deals with
your platform.

C is the wrong programming language for this task. You want to
write your program in Flash.

Run just about any newbie C program on a DeathStation 9000.
In particular, look for code containing stuff like "void main"
and "fflush(stdin)" and "i = i++ + ++i;".

Any decent newsreader for USENET will do that. You'd have much
better luck having the program launch nuclear missiles.

In that case, I suggest you BECOME a cop.

BPC is the wrong programming language for this task. You want
BPto write your program in Flash.

Flash, and brain-dead people. Correlation, or causation?

That isn't exactly true. I've created (and edited) graphics images (.bmp
format) using clc-conforming C[1]. It is even possible to /display/
graphics using standard C if you're content with text art. :-)

[1] ...by which I mean that it could probably be nit-picked, but not very
much...

Just DO Simple C programming in WINDOWS OS, u often see (BLUE) flash
screen
and user will do suicide for using it.

Pardon my ignorance, but just how do you intend to test it?

It's quite easy to get the blue screen up:

int main(void)
{
*(int*)7492 = 5;
}

You might even say that the behaviour is perfectly well defined on Windows.

I may be way off base here, but I doubt that that will produce
a blue-screen-of-death on any nt-based windows (NT, 2k, 2k3, XP).

Unless, of course, there is something remarkable about that particular
address.

Wrong.

int main(void)
{
*(int*)7492 = 5;
}

It *is* perfectly well defined. On Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP/VISTA,
you will not get a blue screen. Instead (at least with Microsoft
VC++), you will get an error message box containing cordially worded
verbage to the effect that the program committed an illegal operation.

With Windows XP, the dialog box contains a button labeled "Send Error
Report" (to Microsoft). I've always wondered what information it would
send and what Microsoft would do with it, for programs like the above.

Indeed, but this one used to do the trick on all Windows (not sure
about XP and 2003):
#include <stdio.h>
int
main (void)
{
for(int i=1; i<10; i++)
printf("\t\t\b\b\b\b\b\b");
}
