The easiest way is to define kernel resource limits to allow core dumps. ulimit -c unlimited
When your program crashes, you will have core files in your cwd.

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.

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.

posix_getrlimit
POSIX_GETRLIMIT(3) 1 POSIX_GETRLIMIT(3)
posix_getrlimit - Return info about system resource limits
SYNOPSIS
array posix_getrlimit (void )
DESCRIPTION
posix_getrlimit(3) returns an array of information about the current resource's soft and hard limits.
Each resource has an associated soft and hard limit. The soft limit is the value that the kernel enforces for the corresponding resource.
The hard limit acts as a ceiling for the soft limit. An unprivileged process may only set its soft limit to a value from 0 to the hard
limit, and irreversibly lower its hard limit.
RETURN VALUES
Returns an associative array of elements for each limit that is defined. Each limit has a soft and a hard limit.
List of possible limits returned
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
|Limit name | |
| | |
| | Limit description |
| | |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| core | |
| | |
| | The maximum size of the core file. When 0, not |
| | core files are created. When core files are |
| | larger than this size, they will be truncated at |
| | this size. |
| | |
| totalmem | |
| | |
| | The maximum size of the memory of the process, |
| | in bytes. |
| | |
|virtualmem | |
| | |
| | The maximum size of the virtual memory for the |
| | process, in bytes. |
| | |
| data | |
| | |
| | The maximum size of the data segment for the |
| | process, in bytes. |
| | |
| stack | |
| | |
| | The maximum size of the process stack, in bytes. |
| | |
| rss | |
| | |
| | The maximum number of virtual pages resident in |
| | RAM |
| | |
| maxproc | |
| | |
| | The maximum number of processes that can be cre- |
| | ated for the real user ID of the calling process. |
| | |
| memlock | |
| | |
| | The maximum number of bytes of memory that may |
| | be locked into RAM. |
| | |
| cpu | |
| | |
| | The amount of time the process is allowed to use |
| | the CPU. |
| | |
| filesize | |
| | |
| | The maximum size of the data segment for the |

NOTES
Note
This is a not POSIX function, but is common on BSD and System V systems. If the system does not support this function, then it will
not be included at compile time. This may be checked with function_exists(3).
