Yep, that's why it's best to remain wary of segfaults that just "go away". Something'd probably still be wrong somewhere.

Hello, sorry if this has been posted before but i was wondering if there is a way to run a program until a segmentation fault is found.
Currently i'm using a simple shell script which runs my program 100 times, sleeps 1 second because srand(time(0)) is dependent on seconds. Is there a possible... (1 Reply)

After allocating memory for some variables, segfault is often to happen, due to the same reason: Address 0x1cd00000103 out of bounds

uconvert
uconvert(3alleg4) Allegro manual uconvert(3alleg4)
NAME
uconvert - High level string encoding conversion wrapper. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
char *uconvert(const char *s, int type, char *buf, int newtype, int size);
DESCRIPTION
Higher level function running on top of do_uconvert(). This function converts the specified string `s' from `type' to `newtype', storing at
most `size' bytes into the output `buf' (including the terminating null character), but it checks before doing the conversion, and doesn't
bother if the string formats are already the same (either both types are equal, or one is ASCII, the other is UTF-8, and the string con-
tains only 7-bit ASCII characters).
As a convenience, if `buf' is NULL it will convert the string into an internal static buffer and the `size' parameter will be ignored. You
should be wary of using this feature, though, because that buffer will be overwritten the next time this routine is called, so don't expect
the data to persist across any other library calls. The static buffer may hold less than 1024 characters, so you won't be able to convert
large chunks of text. Example:
char *p = uconvert(input_string, U_CURRENT, buffer, U_ASCII, 256);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to `buf' (or the static buffer if you used NULL) if a conversion was performed. Otherwise returns a copy of `s'. In any
cases, you should use the return value rather than assuming that the string will always be moved to `buf'.
