abort() is part of the C standard, which means that it is

Derefencing a NULL pointer is undefined behaviour. Modern
compilers are getting extremely aggressive in their handling of
undefined behaviour. Dereference NULL pointers at your own risk.

I have to agree with John here, not only is "abort()" part of the C and
POSIX and related standards and highly portable, the use of "*0 = ..."
is not.
It might be a memory from the early 1980s, straight out of uni and into
the fray, but a lot of microprocessors don't consider location "0" to be
magical.
