Hello, I have compiled a simple c program with -m32 option. Thing is that when I want to copy some data into an array, it crashes Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0xffffd154) at mico.c:35 35 strcpy( dest, buffer ); (gdb) p &buffer[0] $1 = 0xffffcfb5 '\220' <repeats 50 times>, "\061\300Ph//shh/bin\211\343P\211\342S\211\341\260\v̀", '\220' <repeats 37 times>, "P\336\377\377\377\177" (gdb) p &dest[0] $2 = 0xffffd02c "\020\334\377", <incomplete sequence \367> (gdb) x/100x 0xffffcfb5 0xffffcfb5: 0x90909090 0x90909090 0x90909090 0x90909090 0xffffcfc5: 0x90909090 0x90909090 0x90909090 0x90909090 0xffffcfd5: 0x90909090 0x90909090 0x90909090 0x90909090 0xffffcfe5: 0xc0319090 0x2f2f6850 0x2f686873 0x896e6962 0xffffcff5: 0xe28950e3 0xb0e18953 0x9080cd0b 0x90909090 0xffffd005: 0x90909090 0x90909090 0x90909090 0x90909090 0xffffd015: 0x90909090 0x90909090 0x90909090 0x90909090 0xffffd025: 0xffffde50 0x10007fff 0x00f7ffdc 0x5cf7ffca 0xffffd035: 0xe0ffffd1 0xb7000000 0xe0f7f047 0x90f7ffdd 0xffffd045: 0x00ffffd0 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x2c000000 (gdb) next Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x56555655 in main (argc=<error reading variable: Cannot access memory at address 0x90909090>, argv=<error reading variable: Cannot access memory at address 0x90909094>) at mico.c:37 37 } Without specifying -m32, there is no problem. I wonder why it tries to access 0x90909090. There is some problem with 32/64 bit data. Regards, Mahmood
