You can do better than this if you define a valid C program as anything that passes though the C compiler and generates an executable. Behold the zero length program:&lt;p&gt;$ touch a.c&lt;p&gt;$ gcc -c a.c&lt;p&gt;$ ld a.o&lt;p&gt;ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000000400078&lt;p&gt;$ ./a.out&lt;p&gt;Segmentation fault</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>The Shortest Crashing C Program</title><url>http://llbit.se/?p=1744</url></story>
