* Illegal memory access if value of n is not in the range 0, 1. * "Array out of bounds" error valid indices for array foo are 0, 1. The following three cases illustrate the most common types of array-related segfaults:.For example, calling memset() as shown below would cause a program to segfault:.In practice, segfaults are almost always due to trying to read or write a non-existent array element, not properly defining a pointer before using it, or (in C programs) accidentally using a variable's value as an address ( see the scanf example below). For more, see About program segments.Ī segfault occurs when a reference to a variable falls outside the segment where that variable resides, or when a write is attempted to a location that is in a read-only segment.
Program memory is divided into different segments: a text segment for program instructions, a data segment for variables and arrays defined at compile time, a stack segment for temporary (or automatic) variables defined in subroutines and functions, and a heap segment for variables allocated during runtime by functions, such as malloc (in C) and allocate (in Fortran). Segfaults are caused by a program trying to read or write an illegal memory location. A segmentation fault (aka segfault) is a common condition that causes programs to crash they are often associated with a file named core.
