c++ segmentation fault

The term "segmentation fault" in C++ typically occurs due to accessing memory that hasn't been allocated, accessing out-of-bounds array elements, or dereferencing a null pointer. Here's how to address it:

  1. Use a debugger like GDB to identify the exact line of code where the segmentation fault occurs.
  2. Check for null pointers or uninitialized pointers when accessing memory.
  3. Ensure that array accesses are within the bounds of the array.
  4. Carefully review any dynamic memory allocation and deallocation to prevent memory access violations.
  5. Use tools like Valgrind to detect memory management issues.
  6. Consider using smart pointers or containers like std::vector to manage memory more safely.
