SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
Here is my initiating code:
Code:
#define NUM 20

static struct tab {
	int count;
	int use;
} tab[NUM];

int curtab = 0;

int tab_create(int tab_count)
{
	curtab++;
	tab[curtab].use = 1;
	tab[curtab].count = tab_count;
        kprintf("here!");
	return curtab;
}

When I run my program main() which calls intval = tab_create(1); I receive this error
Code:
here!Exception 13 at EIP=00000003: General protection violation

I used GDB for debugging and stepped through the process and received this output:
Code:
main () at prodcons.c:39
39          intval = tab_create(1);
(gdb) s

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x3 in ?? ()


Any ideas why this is a seg-fault?

What is kprintf?

kernel mode printf. I dunno what he's doing either.... but if it's user mode code then kprintf is very likely to be the problem.
