how to avoid the segfault from Address 0x1cd00000103 out of bounds
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.
is_done = 0x1cd00000103 <Address 0x1cd00000103 out of bounds>,
hood = 0x23c00000247,
c = 0x1a900000149 <Address 0x1a900000149 out of bounds>,
site = 0x40a000004fc,
site2 = 0x3ba0000059f,
des = 0x47200000199 <Address 0x47200000199 out of bounds>,
asc = 0x47500000056 <Address 0x47500000056 out of bounds>,
But, use of these varialbes in code will lead to segfaults, e.g. if(node->is_done) { --- }
check these varialbes, those showing 'address 0x1cd00000103 out of bounds' will finally lead to segments
I should remind that some nodes but not all the nodes in a tree will give segfaults when checking if(node->is_done)
It is said that unsuccessful initialization is the source of 'Address 0x1cd00000103 out of bounds'. Concretely speaking, how to avoid such unsuccessful initialization occur in some nodes?
I think you are confused about what you are trying to do! In the examples above, you are allocating memory one address at a time and storing the pointers in your structure inside "node". So node->hood presumably holds a pointer to 4 (or 8) bytes (the size of "double").
Also, where did you allocate memory for node? Presumably you have:
Right!! these are pointers. What does 'out of bounds' mean? More important, how to avoid it? Clearly null checking can not make effect in this respect.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
520 while( tr->root->is_done) { ----}
(gdb) p tr->root->is_done
$2 = (int *) 0x3f500000539 <Address 0x3f500000539 out of bounds>
(gdb) pt tr->root->is_likelihood_done
type = int *
"out of bounds" means "invalid memory address". You avoid it by properly mallocing memory before using it.
I hate to say this, but you seem very confused about pointers. I think you need to read a very concise summary on C pointers.
In the code you provide, you are trying to assign values to the address...
You should instead be doing:
And your loop should be:
Also, root itself is a pointer. So you first need to allocate it:
"tr" is also a pointer, and this needs to be allocated too, but I have no idea what kind of structure it is.
Also, this structure is very unusual. I cannot imagine why you want every element to be a pointer to something!
What exactly is the -Warray-bounds option to the GCC compiler supposed to warn about?

Another project, another bump in the road and another chance to learn. I've been trying to open gzipped files and parse data from them and hit a snag. I have data in gzips with a place followed by an ip or ip range sort of like this:

Hi,
I've been trying to filter a file which has several repetitions of lines which looks as follows:
('hello
My name is
jamie
blabla
xyz>>)
Each line has different values in them. I want grep or awk or sed to treat everything within the (' and >>) as one line and then filter for a... (2 Replies)
hello all,
my question is not about How code can be rewritten, i just wanna know even though i am not using read only memory of C (i have declared str) why this function gives me segfault :wall:and the other code executes comfortably though both code uses same pointer arithmetic.

I have a program that allows users to specify the debug log file location and name.
I have tried using the access() and stat() but they both segfault if the drive say (d:\) is invalid. Both seem to be fine if the drive exists.
Could someone please point me in the direction to a function that... (1 Reply)
Hello everyone,
I'm writing a program using the id3lib unfortunately I've encountered with memory issue that cause segmentation fault. I tried to rerun and analyze the program with valgrind but it doesn't point me anywhere. I really stuck on this one.

We have a Solaris 8 server which users login to via VNC to get a desktop. On that desktop these users use Netscape Communicator 4.9 to access a very important mail account. Unfortunately Netscape has started segfaulting regularly.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can try to find out what point... (1 Reply)
Hello, sorry if this has been posted before but i was wondering if there is a way to run a program until a segmentation fault is found.
Currently i'm using a simple shell script which runs my program 100 times, sleeps 1 second because srand(time(0)) is dependent on seconds. Is there a possible... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I am trying to set up a cron job for every Friday at 6:00 p.m. and got an error:

Any ideas?
