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