The following program fails with "Segmentation fault" error message, while I try to run in Ubuntu (Debian) Linux m/c. It is not creating any core file, so I could not cross examine it with the debugger. See the comments for much better understanding. Could any one tell me the exact reason why the program is failing?
Code:
int main( ) {
char *ch; (or) ch = 'A'; // but if it assigned to any string then no segmentation fault
int *p = (int*) &ch[0]; // or &ch[1], &ch[2], .... ch; but &ch runs fine
printf("%c", *p); // Segmentation Fault: only if you use this print statement
}
Well, i would say you're attempting to print a char from some odd pointer value (ptr on ptr on stack, huh ?) you got from an uninitialized var which is char *ch and ... thus accessing outside your 'legal' space therefore the core.
You attending some security course on coding and braging about it or just goofing around lol me just joking

If I do this.
Assume
struct life
{
char *nolife;
}
struct life **life;
// malloc initialization & everything
if(life->nolife == 0)
Would I get error at life->nolife if it is equal to 0.

this is a network programming code to run a rock paper scissors in a client and server.
I completed it and it was working without any error. After I added the findWinner function to the server code it starts giving me segmentation fault.

I keep getting this fault on a lot of the codes I write, I'm not exactly sure why so I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain the idea to me.
For example this code

DESCRIPTION
When _FORTIFY_SOURCE bounds checking is enabled as described below, the above functions get overwritten to use the __builtin_object_size(3)
function to compute the size of str, if known at compile time, and perform bounds check on it in order to avoid data buffer or stack buffer
overflows. If an overflow is detected, the routines will call abort(3).
To enable these function overrides the following should be added to the gcc(1) command line: ``-I/usr/include/ssp'' to override the standard
include files and ``-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1'' or ``-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2''.
If _FORTIFY_SOURCE is set to 1 the code will compute the maximum possible buffer size for str, and if set to 2 it will compute the minimum
buffer size.
