Run the program under a debugger.

There isn't a practical solution which is remotely portable. You would do
better asking in a forum which is dedicated to the platform which you are
targetting.

Also, trying to report a "crash" from within the process which has
crashed is a fool's errand. If you want crash reporting, you need to wrap
the process so that the parent process handles the reporting when the
child crashes. In which case, you can just use the resulting core dump.
