No, it can't. You are comparing pointers (str and a pointer to a NULL
string). This is exactly the same as comparing integers. If any
compiler generates code which does a segmentation fault, it is far
from being (even remotely) a C compiler (and I'm not being pedantic
here).
If you meant strcmp(str, "") that's a completely different story.
