Programming :: C - Malloc Causing Segfault?
Mar 20, 2010Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
[code]...
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
[code]...
So the place where I'm having a problem is here:
Code:
typedef struct {
void **Mem_Chunk;
[code]...
I have a newly installed centos 5.5 x86_64 running as a guest on a xen environment. I've installed httpd, mysql, php, mod-php, cacti and some how mod-php i causing apache to exit with segmentation fault. I don't understand whats causing the problem, I have similar boxes with the same setup that works.
[Wed Sep 22 09:19:47 2010] [notice] Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) configured -- resuming normal operations

How can I track down what "at" is attempting to run that is causing the segfault?
How do you malloc a struct in C? I have a structure of the form:
Code:
typedef struct child_req_to_parent
{
[code]...
So far I have this:
Code:
int mm_init (mm_t *MM, int hm, int sz) {
int i;
[code]...
I have encountered this scenario wherein malloc does not return.
Code:
char * tmp;
rs = 100 to 40000 bytes
[code]...
I am developing a code where I need to store the planes of an object in a tree & also i need to store it in a list for further processing ... when I try to allocate using malloc the memory allocation when i checked this in internet , I came to know that it may because the memory that I am trying to allocate may be more than the size_t variable.

I tried the following methods: LD_PRELOAD -> fails for malloc, because dlsym seems to depend on malloc -Wl,--wrap,malloc -> doesn't work for 'new' gcc hooks -> doesn't work always, e.g. for uclibc there are no hooks Are there any other methods I could try?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a peer to peer application in C++ using pthreads library. There are few types of nodes that run in the program. The 'beacon' nodes form the core of the network. The ordinary nodes 'join' the network by sending join requests to the beacon node. So, my program runs till the join requests and responses are received. When I try to 'connect' using connect function from the socket library, I get a segfault. I am not sure if the segfault occurs for the connect function, because sometimes the program just runs to completion. It could be an issue related to threads or memory allocation.
When I run gdb, it shows me the following:

I'm trying to implement a solver for a system of differential equations in Fortran. The solver contains a number of functions which are supposed take real values, 1D arrays of real values or both as arguments and return arrays of real numbers, all of which cause the program to segfault. Example:
Code:
function y_exakt(t)
implicit none
real::t, pi
[code]....
(the last number in the array seems to change randomly). Then the program crashes either when f(t,y) is called or when dy is returned (after removing the call to f). What could cause these (memory?) problems and/or what could I do to identify the problem? Increasing the maximum stack size with ulimit or compiling the program with -fno-automatic has had no effect. I'm using gfortran (gcc 4.4.3) on a 64-bit Ubuntu Lucid machine. The complete program can be found at [URL].
I am new to C and linux. My code below does arbitary writes but I cant figure out where or how it does it.
I am calling the insertNode() function with seq = 'MISSISSPPI$' and alphabets = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ$'
Code:
Weird behaviour I should mention is that when I check for NULL pointer in node->child[index], the unassigned values are not null anymore, they point to arbitary memory.
I'm working on some code which suddenly is causing a segmentation on vsprintf. This was working before, so I cut and pasted some code from vsprintf function at the cplusplus site and even this is causing a problem. Anyway the example is
Code:
void PrintFError (const char * format, ...)
{
char buffer[256];
va_list args;
[code]....
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main()

I'm trying to compile ink but with no luck. Here are the terminal output,
Code:
[trumpet@Trumpet-PC ink-0.5.1]$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
[code]...
I am getting a weird compilation error with malloc.h/usr/include/malloc.h:86: error: expected ')' before '__size'This is what the code looks like inside malloc.hextern void *(*__morecore) __MALLOC_PMT ((ptrdiff_t __size))When I did some googling, it was stating that ptrdiff_t was not defined; but, it is.#define __malloc_ptrdiff_t ptrdiff_t
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm afraid I have a huge issue with my newest Fedora 14 server. I recently migrated to Fedora 14 from Centos 5, which was very stable, but had ancient packages and libraries and my users were revolting...The machine is a HP ProLiant 360 G7, with 12G RAM and 6 SAS drives in RAID 5.After I migrated to Fedora 14, I noticed that for some reason, during the course of about 24 hours, all usable RAM "disappears" and applications are forced down to swap space. Needless to say I didn't have this issue on CentOS.
The server does heavy IO as per it's function (it's a heavily loaded file processing server and user simulation computing station among other things, which causes lots of random IO), so I thought it may be the cache, but then I realized it cannot be - because obviously Linux will use onyl "unused" RAM for caching and frees it up as soon as an app need it. Then, I thought to check the "slabtop" to see what's going on in Kernel memory. Unfortunately I don't have the screenshot from the time just before the latest crash, but there's a certain value displayed by slabtop, which slowly, byte-from-byte creeps over all available RAM, eventually forcing applications down to the swap. This is malloc-64, and as you can see from the bellow copy-paste, it's building up again even now...
Code:
Active / Total Objects (% used) : 9118075 / 9153600 (99.6%)
Active / Total Slabs (% used) : 152157 / 152157 (100.0%)
[code]...
I have been trying to fix this problem for 3 days, any ideas before I jump through the window (not the bill gates one)?I am using ubuntu 9.10 and running a ./configure.

View 4 Replies View RelatedLet's analyse this While registering a Char deriver to kernel think that we had allocated memory using any of malloc/kmalloc/vmalloc.
If we forgot to Free that allocated memory while unregistering, will that memory be allocated aside or kernel clears it...?
clarrify the below points:1) Where does the Kmalloc/Vmalloc/get_free_pages/malloc Allocates memory in which space is it Kernel/User?2) Coming to Hardware Point of View is where Kernel/User Space Memory Allocates is it in RAM or any.?3) In Device Drivers, how Open Call get to know whether the hardware is connected/not?

How do I get pSX working? I tried copying the psx.ini file from another machine because the thread says pSX works fine after you change the sound device used, but it still segfaults when I try running it.
I am on a fresh install of Narwal. I've switched to classic because unity wasn't mature enough IMO. Just installed ccsm and now my display will crash randomly after running for a short while.

So, now we know where exactly the problem occures. I know only these three commands to debug using gdb. But in case of ns-2 code, I don't know how to use gdb.
I changed a routing protocol's C++ code in ns-2 and successfully recompiled ns-2 but when I run any tcl script with that particular protocol, I get 'segmentation fault'. Now I want to trace what part of the code is causing this. I have tried using 'printf's at suspectable places. Is this possible to debug ns-2 code with gdb just like the segfault.c above? I am useing fedora 9.
I usually use the following command to join several PDF files in one :gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=output.pdf input1.pdf input2.pdfHadn't have to do it for a while but today, I needed it and thus fired my script.lam! gs segfaults.A quick internet search and I found this :https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22006Though Arch related, while I'm running slackware64-current, the behaviour was exactly the same as mine.In the above thread, one guy linked to a bug report which seems to be theculprit :http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691831gcc 4.5.1, gs 9.00, x86_64, indeed, slackware64 seems to be exactly in that situation.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a custom program that has been running on Slackware since about 2004. It was running fine on Slackware 13.0, but an upgrade (following the procedure in UPGRADE.TXT) to 13.1 causes the program to segfault on a read/write op to the serial port (details here).
what might have changed between 13.0 and 13.1 that might affect serial port programming? I've been through CHANGES_AND_HINTS but nothing is jumping out at me.
I encountered "xdm segfault" error due to libXt upgrade. startx worked, but xdm failed. Should be same bug as this link: [URL]
