A piece of code is trying to use the same chunk of memory as another piece if code. You need to debug it. Configure GCC with --enable-checking . Compile it with -g -O0 so that you can use gdb. There are lots of pieces of advice on this particular subject as almost no-one who learns C or C++ doesn't get segfaults. You should track it down and if you compile it so gdb can do it's work you will have a 'Eureka' moment. But just a moment. The snippet of code, although well intentioned is not helpful. Good luck because you will overcome this hurdle.
If I helped at all give me a pat on the back (add to my reputation)
I have already tried gdb and got the exact location of seg fault using this only. gdb traceback shows seg fault in the line inet_ntop(AF_INET6, &src, source, 40);
Strangely, the same code works fine with gcc but not with g++. I need to get it working in c++.
