String - Segmentation Fault
Hi All,

I have a problem with this code. I am using a gcc compiler and when i compile and execute this code i am getting a seg fault. I am just assigning two variables, name_1 as pointer and name_2 as string. When i am trying to provide string input for the two values i am getting a seg fault. This seg fault is always associated with the pointer variable that i am using.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
 
 
int main()
{
char *name_1 ;
char name_2[10] ;
 
 
/*      Getting 2 strings as an input from the user
        and is stored in the pointer variable name_1 and name_2*/
scanf("%s",name_1) ;
scanf("%s",name_2) ;
 
 
/*      Printing the values of the varibales 
        name_1 and name_2 in string format      */
printf("\n%s",name_1) ;
printf("\n%s",name_2) ;
 
 
printf("\n\n") ;
return 0 ;
}

TITLE

       Language::INTERCAL::Bytecode - intermediate language

DESCRIPTION

       The CLC-INTERCAL compiler works by producing bytecode from the program source; this bytecode can be interpreted to execute the program
       immediately; alternatively, a backend can produce something else from the bytecode, for example C or Perl source code which can then be
       compiled to your computer's native object format.

       The compiler itself is just some more bytecode. Thus, to produce the compiler you need a compiler compiler, and to produce that you need a
       compiler compiler compiler; to produce the latter you would need a compiler compiler compiler compiler, and so on to infinity. To simplify
       the programmer's life (eh?), the compiler compiler is able to compile itself, and is therefore identical to the compiler compiler compiler
       (etcetera).

       The programmer can start the process because a pre-compiled compiler compiler, in the form of bytecode, is provided with the CLC-INTERCAL
       distribution; this compiler compiler then is able to compile all other compilers, as well as to rebuild itself if need be.

       See the online manual or the HTML documentation included with the distribution for more information about this.
