I think the answer is that we can learn a few simple things, but not a lot beyond that. We can conclude that usually, not a lot of code is needed to trigger a crash. We can conclude that loops, structs, and math are almost always present in crash-bug triggers, but non-loop control flow is rarely needed.

YES: that in C the semicolon is a TERMINATOR not a separator.

I even tell students this sometimes so that they’ll find the bug in their own code (99.9% of the time) instead of blaming the compiler :) .
