Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Bus Error Post 10219 by Perderabo on Friday 9th of November 2001 12:27:05 PM

The bus in question is the address buss and it contains an illegal value. This is almost always the result of dereferencing a pointer that contains an illegal value.

Here is a program that, I think, will compile with every C or C++ compiler, but should cause a bus error when the second printf is attempted...

Code:
#ifdef __STDC__
#define PROTOTYPICAL
#endif
#ifdef __cplusplus
#define PROTOTYPICAL
#endif

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#ifdef PROTOTYPICAL
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
#else
main(argc,argv)
char *argv[];
#endif
{
      double d = 1.23456789;
      double *p = &d;
      printf ( " d = %f \n" , *p);
      p = (double *)((char *)p + 1);
      printf ( " d = %f \n" , *p);
      exit(0);
}

GOOGLE-SITEMAPGEN(1)					      General Commands Manual					      GOOGLE-SITEMAPGEN(1)

NAME

       google-sitemapgen -- simple script to automate production of sitemaps for a webserver

SYNOPSIS

       google-sitemapgen [--testing]  [--help]	[--config=config.xml]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the google-sitemapgen command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       google-sitemapgen  is  a  program that automatically produces sitemaps for a webserver, in the Google Sitemap Protocol (GSP). Sitemap files
       are XML listings of content you make available on your web server. The files can be directly submitted to search engines as hints  for  the
       search  engine  web  crawlers as they index your web site. This can result in better coverage of your web content in search engine indices,
       and less of your bandwidth spent doing it.

OPTIONS

       --config=config.xml
		 Specify the location of the configuration config.xml

       --testing Used to test the sitemap generator configuration.

       --help	 Display a summary of options and exit.

SEE ALSO

       /usr/share/doc/google-sitemapgen/examples/example_config.xml.gz
