The code below is said to give a segmentation violation:

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <string.h> 

void function(char *str) {
   char buffer[16];

   strcpy(buffer,str);
}

int main() {
  char large_string[256];
  int i;

  for( i = 0; i < 255; i++)
    large_string[i] = 'A';

  function(large_string);
  return 1;
}

It's compiled and run like this:

gcc -Wall -Wextra hw.cpp && a.exe

But there is nothing output.

NOTE

The above code indeed overwrites the ret address and so on if you really understand what's going underneath.
