Segmentation fault (core dumped)


This is a "C" question,Which I'm new to:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fenv.h>
/*#include <float.h>*/
/*#this program is a proof of concept. It will be used to:
#first create n^n for numbers 2-127 in binary
#second assign the binary of the numbers in an array "NthArray"*/

void main()
/*#loop to fill the array*/
{
     		int count;
		int i;
		long double res=1;
		long double NthArray[10];
     		for (count = 0; count <= 127; count++)
			{
				res=1;
				for (i=1; i <= count; i++)
					{
					/*printf ("i=%d\n",i );*/
      					res = res * count;
					/*printf ("res=%f\n",res );*/
					}
			NthArray[count] = res;
          		printf ("Count=%d",count );
			printf (".");
				printf ("The Nth = %Lf\n",NthArray[count]);
			
			}
res=1;printf("table loaded\n");
}
This bit of code complies fine but when I run it I get:
Quote:
Count=0.The Nth = 1.000000
Count=1.The Nth = 1.000000
Count=2.The Nth = 4.000000
Count=3.The Nth = 27.000000
Count=4.The Nth = 256.000000
Count=5.The Nth = 3125.000000
Count=6.The Nth = 46656.000000
Count=7.The Nth = 823543.000000
Count=8.The Nth = 16777216.000000
Count=9.The Nth = 387420489.000000
.................
Count=127.The Nth = 1524307411995722575737095034367932617400955458112824476089134616001097797110416587846022345778082377 2948777596941440497539534786314040488562210183714084842392119548923554743813133193657360180665611222 92345542412230225506634371181613735575034509047146723374175939985408.000000

table loaded

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00004025 in ?? ()
(gdb)
I'm not sure why it doesn't like my back trace file. Since it point to an open "()"
I'm not sure where to go next. I have googled "0x00004025" to no avail, I'm sure it a simple error between the keyboard and the chair but I'm stuck, any Ideas?

Code:
...
		long double NthArray[10];
     		for (count = 0; count <= 127; count++)
...
And in that loop

Code:
			NthArray[count] = res;
Just gonna leave this here. Perhaps it might dawn on you.

And if not, try compiling with -fbounds-check.

Coredump files are usually called just coredump, no extension. Also check that you have coredumps enabled (ulimit -c). Although if you can just run the program in the debugger and reproduce the error directly (like you've done), that's usually easier.

Your backtrace only has 1 frame in it, probably because your program has corrupted the stack so a backtrace cannot be constructed.

Also make sure to compile with debug information (pass -g to gcc), otherwise your backtraces will have only raw addresses, and no function names, or line numbers.

Lightbulb Thank you,

orgcandman:
Hello captain obvious.
I guess if you're going to only set 10 vars in an array it's hard to stuff 128 into it.

Thanks for your help.

Why don't you see backtrace information?
Cos your stack is corrupted, that's why.

you may try to use valgrind to catch memory corruption.
