hello to all!, could anybody tell me how to avoid the run time error: "segmentation fault" when I run my programs, they work perfectly under windows.

thank you.

Check carefully pointers (if you use it) or how can you index arrays ... This two reasons causes most of such errors

Best regards

I have this problem when I use STL's vectors, maps, etc.
I suppose I should control their sizes...
thanks

the simplest solution is to use GCC compiler to check your code before submiting .. u may then use gdb to step through the code
to exactly know which statement results in segmentation fault

in stl you must resize tables,vectors etc. some times j think

but j don't know execly becose j don't use stl

but if you use normal table[12] end your prog will call table[19] it will be segmentation

Simple solution: throw Windows out of the window and install Linux! I used Windows for years, now I think a true programmer can't bear with its lack of trasparence. Linux is full of instruments and utilities for a programmer.

I just use gcc/gdb/gprof from the shell...

(Sorry if I made some mistakes with the language)
