If you set out to intentionally make this, you'd use the chlor-alkali process, which converts salt water to chlorine, hydrogen and sodium hydroxide...after which they combine the hydrogen and chlorine and dissolve the resulting gas in water to get hydrochloric acid.

Most of the HCl made today is a byproduct of another chemical process.
