it is possible to install a signal handler for almost every

catch is signal 9 - sigkill if memory serves.
So I could for instance install a clean up handler on a
segfault via memset, or a for loop, and then terminate.
What will you do with this?

Are you asking what I would do in case sigabrt is received by my
program instead of sigsegv ?
I would install the same cleanup functionality in this handler.
Zero out memory, send a signal to stop an engine or whatever
mandatory clean up is required and return from the handler. Then
let the OS take care of the rest, i.e. terminate the process.
