segmentation fault

Hi,

I am having this segmentation fault not in the following program, bt. in my lab program . My lab program is horrible long so cannot post it here bt. I am using the following logic in my program which is giving the segmentation fault. Bt. if I run this sample program as it is it dosen't give the error. It is freaking me out Smilie
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

void *fxn();
 
typedef struct coord{
    int x;
//    int y;
    }cord ;

int main()
{
void *pt;
cord a, *p;
int x2, y2;

pt =fxn();
p = &a;
p = pt;

printf(" %d ",p->x);
}

void *fxn()
{
cord b,*point;
point = &b;

int x1= 10, y1= 10;

point->x = x1;
// point->y = y1;
return(point);
}

thanks a tonn in advance.

NAME
XPAServer - The XPA Server-side Programming Interface SYNOPSIS
A description of the XPA server-side programming interface. DESCRIPTION
Introduction to XPA Server Programming Creating an XPA server is easy: you generally only need to call the XPANew() subroutine to define a named XPA access point and set up the send and receive callback routines. You then enter an event loop such as XPAMainLoop() to field XPA requests. #include <xpa.h> XPA XPANew(char *class, char *name, char *help, int (*send_callback)(), void *send_data, char *send_mode, int (*rec_callback)(), void *rec_data, char *rec_mode); XPA XPACmdNew(char *class, char *name); XPACmd XPACmdAdd(XPA xpa, char *name, char *help, int (*send_callback)(), void *send_data, char *send_mode, int (*rec_callback)(), void *rec_data, char *rec_mode); void XPACmdDel(XPA xpa, XPACmd cmd); XPA XPAInfoNew(char *class, char *name, int (*info_callback)(), void *info_data, char *info_mode); int XPAFree(XPA xpa); void XPAMainLoop(void); int XPAPoll(int msec, int maxreq); void XPAAtExit(void); void XPACleanup(void); Introduction To use the XPA application programming interface, a software developer generally will include the xpa.h definitions file: #include <xpa.h> in the software module that defines or accesses an XPA access point, and then will link against the libxpa.a library: gcc -o foo foo.c libxpa.a XPA has been compiled using both C and C++ compilers. A server program generally defines an XPA access point by calling the XPANew() routine and specifies "send" and/or "receive" callback pro- cedures to be executed by the program when an external process either sends data or commands to this access point or requests data or information from this access point. A program also can define several sub-commands for a single access point by calling XPACmdNew() and XPACmdAdd() instead. Having defined one or more public access points in this way, an XPA server program enters its usual event loop (or uses the standard XPA event loop). SEE ALSO
