compile your program with -g option and then execute, gdb.

I think you have posted only the one function, the problem could be even at the callee side, how the return value is being used there.

So try gdb and let us know, what you see.

the gdb says that the segmentation fault occurred in strnlen() , strnlen(3) - Linux man page

Check for such functions.

Why does this example C code run and yet SHOULD either not compile or give a segmentation fault?

Apologies for any typos... Well guys, been researching 'goto' in C and they say that you can't 'goto' labels in another function as a segmentation fault will occur. However I have found a way to 'goto' a label in another function that is NOT main() using the asm() function. As you know I... (14 Replies)

STRNLEN(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							STRNLEN(3)

NAME
strnlen - determine the length of a fixed-size string SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> size_t strnlen(const char *s, size_t maxlen); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): strnlen(): Since glibc 2.10: _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L Before glibc 2.10: _GNU_SOURCE DESCRIPTION
The strnlen() function returns the number of bytes in the string pointed to by s, excluding the terminating null bye (''), but at most maxlen. In doing this, strnlen() looks only at the first maxlen bytes at s and never beyond s+maxlen. RETURN VALUE
The strnlen() function returns strlen(s), if that is less than maxlen, or maxlen if there is no null byte ('') among the first maxlen bytes pointed to by s. CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2008. SEE ALSO
