Here's a program that works on some Unix systems.

	#include <signal.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>

	#define FAULT_ADDRESS ((int *)112)

	extern void handler(int signum, siginfo_t *info, void *context);

	int main() {
		struct sigaction act;
		act.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO | SA_RESTART;
		act.sa_sigaction = handler;
		if (sigemptyset(&act.sa_mask) != 0)
			exit(1);
		if (sigaction(SIGSEGV, &act, NULL) != 0)
			exit(1);
		/* provoke a SIGSEGV */
		(*FAULT_ADDRESS)++;
		exit(1);
	}

	void handler(int signum, siginfo_t *info, void *context) {
		if (signum == SIGSEGV &&
		    info->si_signo == SIGSEGV &&
		    info->si_code > 0 &&
		    (int *)info->si_addr == FAULT_ADDRESS)
		{
			exit(0);
		} else {
			exit(1);
		}
	}

Here's another one that works on Linux (you may need to #define
HAVE_ASM_SIGCONTEXT, depending on the exact Linux version).

	#define sigcontext_struct sigcontext

	#define __KERNEL__
	#include <signal.h>
	#undef __KERNEL__

	#ifdef HAVE_ASM_SIGCONTEXT
	#include <asm/sigcontext.h>
	#endif

	#include <stdio.h>

	extern void handler(int signum, struct sigcontext_struct info);

	#define FAULT_ADDRESS ((int *)112)

	int main() {
		signal(SIGSEGV, (void (*)(int))handler);

		/* provoke a SIGSEGV */
		(*FAULT_ADDRESS)++;

		exit(1);
	}

	void handler(int signum, struct sigcontext_struct context) {
		if (signum == SIGSEGV && (int *) context.cr2 == FAULT_ADDRESS) {
			exit(0);
		} else {
			exit(1);
		}
	}
