Hi guys,

My first post here, hope I do things right.

The following code snippet just exits the program silently rather than
generating SIGBUS as you would expect it to.  I don't think what doing that is
appropriate.

clang *does* generate SIGBUS, and although the code below is, strictly
speaking, UB, I don't think gcc should behave as it does, for obvious reasons.

OK, here's the code:

    #include <iostream>

    int main()
    {
        char *p = (char *) nullptr;
        std::cout << "Watch the " << p << "birdie" << std::endl;
        return 0;
    }

And here's the output (note: no SIGBUS):

Live demo here (where you can also try running it with clang)

Sounds like an easy fix.  Thanks.

Probably some nonnull attribute somewhere.  Anyway, GIGO.
