segfault

Has the program in question made a segmentation fault (core dumped)?

If it has been altered, the program exits with a segmentation fault.

Otherwise, a hardware exception such as a segmentation fault is raised.

Now, referencing any of these variables could cause a segmentation fault.

On modern operating systems, it will cause a segmentation fault in the offending program.

On some systems, some programs get a segmentation fault at program exit.

These can include security bugs or program crashes, most often due to segmentation faults.

Line (2) will not produce a segmentation fault anymore.

Doing so causes a segmentation fault at runtime on many operating systems.

The following are some typical causes of a segmentation fault:

When they are used improperly this may cause problems such as segmentation faults or memory leaks.

However, most implementations simply halt execution of the program in question, usually with a segmentation fault.

If the stack runs out of space, the kernel kills the program with a segmentation fault.

If segmentation faults occur at execution time, try increasing the stack space (see Section 7.12).

The name "segfault" refers to the segmentation fault, a computer software error.

The result is often a segmentation fault.

A segmentation fault results when a program tries to access memory that it does not have permission to access.

Different operating systems have different signal names to indicate that a segmentation fault has occurred.

In particular, if the program segmentation faults it does not display an error message, the program just stops.

After I have deleted a row, I get a segmentation fault.

It kept giving a segmentation fault (under Solaris).

The first case may, in certain platforms such as the Intel x86 architecture, be called a segmentation fault (segfault).

I get Segmentation faults when running htdig, htsearch or htfuzzy.

Writing to read-only memory raises a segmentation fault.

If you get a segmentation fault using -stackvar, you might try doubling the main stack size at least once.
