Need more information about Aborted (core dumped)

This bellow code will generate Aborted (core dumped) at last line.

code:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <malloc.h>

  int main()
  {
    char *ptr;
    ptr=malloc(sizeof(char)*10);
    free(ptr);
    free(ptr);     // core dumped
  }

output is:

Aborted (core dumped)

Here I’m interested to know in which cases these core dumped will occur?

Can we find out at which line this is occurred without using debugger?

what information it is showing(about shared libraries)?
