As a naive usr, I would think each of the lines
in main of the following should do it:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
         int *p = 0; *p = 7;
    abort();
         raise(SIGILL);
         assert(0);
}

but in practice, only the bad pointer access does.  For some reason,
raise(), assert(0), and abort() fail to trigger the debugger.

You can compile this easily with mingw or msvc running under wine.
(I did it with msvc.)
