How would you use that for debugging?

My best guess is that in some configurations it raises SIGSEGV and then dumps core. Then, you use a debugger to analyse the core dump. But then again you could also set a breakpoint, or if you absolutely want a core dump, use abort() and configure SIGABRT to produce a core dump.
