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 way i can run this in GDB until a segfault or write a script that looks for a segfault signal?
i am trying to use the history functions in a c++ program along with a custom signal handler for SIGINT.
the prog works fine catching signals without the line:
add_history(*args);
but as soon as this line is added, the prog segfaults on SIGINT.

After allocating memory for some variables, segfault is often to happen, due to the same reason: Address 0x1cd00000103 out of bounds
It is welcome to recommend some treatments. Thanks
e.g.
is_done = 0x1cd00000103 <Address 0x1cd00000103 out of bounds>,

We have a Solaris 8 server which users login to via VNC to get a desktop. On that desktop these users use Netscape Communicator 4.9 to access a very important mail account. Unfortunately Netscape has started segfaulting regularly.

Hello everyone,
I'm writing a program using the id3lib unfortunately I've encountered with memory issue that cause segmentation fault. I tried to rerun and analyze the program with valgrind but it doesn't point me anywhere. I really stuck on this one.

So the title kinda says it all. I was getting a SEGfault, so I decided to compile with the -g option to find where, and low and behold the SEGfault doesn't occur.
I suppose the answer is "Problem solved! You fixed yet another SEGfault." But I am very curious how this could have happened.

I have a program that allows users to specify the debug log file location and name.
I have tried using the access() and stat() but they both segfault if the drive say (d:\) is invalid. Both seem to be fine if the drive exists.
Could someone please point me in the direction to a function that... (1 Reply)
hello all,
my question is not about How code can be rewritten, i just wanna know even though i am not using read only memory of C (i have declared str) why this function gives me segfault :wall:and the other code executes comfortably though both code uses same pointer arithmetic.

I am populating an array of string and print it.
But it going in infinite loop and causing segfault.

Another project, another bump in the road and another chance to learn. I've been trying to open gzipped files and parse data from them and hit a snag. I have data in gzips with a place followed by an ip or ip range sort of like this:

sleep
sleep(3) Library Functions Manual sleep(3)Name
sleep - suspend execution for interval
Syntax
unsigned
sleep(seconds)
unsigned seconds;
Description
The current process is suspended from execution for the number of seconds specified by the argument. The actual suspension time may be up
to 1 second less than that requested, because scheduled wakeups occur at fixed 1-second intervals, and an arbitrary amount longer because
of other activity in the system.
The routine is implemented by setting an interval timer and pausing until it occurs. The previous state of this timer is saved and
restored. If the sleep time exceeds the time to the expiration of the previous timer, the process sleeps only until the signal would have
occurred, and the signal is sent 1 second later.
Return Values
The value returned by is the unslept amount(the requested time minus the time actually slept). This return value may be non-zero in cases
where the caller had an alarm set to go off earlier than the end of the requested time, or where was interrupted due to a caught signal(see
ENVIRONMENT below).
Environment
POSIX
SYSTEM_FIVE
When your program is compiled in POSIX or System V mode, the will be terminated by any caught signal. The function will return following
execution of the signal's catching routine.
