Hi,
I wrote a program, to read from a master terminal.
However, the 'read' system call keeps returning the same data endlessly (I expected it to read once and then block).
What will cause t data...

HI,
I have compiled and built an executable on machine 'A', with debug.

Thereafter, i have to run the executable on machine 'B'.

On using dbx on machine 'B', it is able to find a symbol...

Hi,
I currently have XP installed on HD0 and Ubuntu on HD1.

Now on setting the boot device in BIOS, the appropriate Boot Menu comes up (NTLDR or GRUB).

However, each Loader is unable to load...

Well, finally got it done!
Whew!
In the menu.lst file, I changed hd0 to hd1, and vice-versa.
It so happens that when booting, grub always thinks it is on the first disk.
In this case, it wasnt.

Hi,
I have installed Ubuntu 5.04 on my second Hard Drive. My first HD contains windows.

When i make my 2nd HD as boot device, i see GRUB Menu (i.e. stage 2).
On trying to boot Ubuntu, I get an...

Hi,
Check the following code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
char *s="123.33";

double d=0.0;

d = (double)atof(s);

printf("s is %2$s, d is %1$f\n", d, s);

d =...

Well, first of all - using HP-UX.

Anyways, what i meant is that when u said:
"If you really are blowing the stack - which I doubt - try using heap instead of stack.
In other words make the array...

Thanks Jim.
Anyways, i thought that all local variables were allocated on stack.
By what you say, are local arrays (string and int) allocated on heap ?(I know malloc allocates memory on heap).

Hi,
I basically want to ensure that the above message is because of a stack overflow.

On checking maxssiz using sysdef, i get a value: 0-98048.

This is beleive is the value from 0 - The frame...

Hi,
I read up about maxssiz when having problems with stack overflow.
I check on the below on my HP-UX as:

Parameter Current Dyn Planned Module Version...

Hi,
I get a problem with stack overflow on HP-UX, when running a C program.

Pid 28737 received a SIGSEGV for stack growth failure.
Possible causes: insufficient memory or swap space,
or stack...

Hi,
On using GDB debugger on different executables, the address displayed for the symbols seem incorrect, as it shows me the same address in each prorgram, run simultaneoulsy.

eg:
Program:...

Thanks a lot guys! seems much more clear now

could be, but when i printed out contents of j, it was "" (obviously, as it is a dummy).
But maybe there could be some garbage in the 15 bytes allocated.
Like u mentioned, it should dump core both...

Thanks guys for t input.

Well n1, i was thinking on similar lines. Taking it a step further, since j was allocated 15 bytes, even if i input a buffer of say 20 (basically > 15), the program does...

i'll try n post t results

agree :). However in repeated runs, the program variables are allocated the same memory location.
Even on reading in a very large string (20 chars) and sending it to sprintf, it is surprising how...

Well, on the above lines, i could further deduce:

1. in one case, k was pointing to stdout (dont know how!), coz its memory contents were that of my printf statement, prior to the sprintf....

Hi,
Please see this:
When i make a declaration as:

char *i, j[15], *k;
and then do
sprintf( k, "print.sh %s", i );

the program works fine.

But when i change the declaration to:
char *i,...
