hey all,

I am programming in C, and I am working with a very large program that I did not write myself, but have the joy of debugging. When I gdb this program I get the following.

#0 0x400b4984 in _IO_str_overflow_internal () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#1 0x400b3488 in _IO_default_xsputn_internal () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#2 0x4008c4f8 in vfprintf () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#3 0xbfff4290 in ?? ()
#4 0x00000004 in ?? ()
#5 0xffffffff in ?? ()
#6 0xffffffe1 in ?? ()

It looks like the error involves printf, but the line that causes the error calls a struct whose member looks like, "int *name (*void) ;"

I'm puzzled. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Eagle

If you know where in code it crashes, then maybe you could examine the values of all variables involved and create
a self-contained, compilable example for us to look at?

I'll try and do that in a few minutes.
Just another question real quick - the program runs fine on Unix Machines. I have changed some lines because I am porting it to Linux, and I'm pretty sure those are correct. Besides the fact, that I changed all of the necessary functions, are there any other major major differences between Unix and Linux, thanks

error: segmentation fault

structname[max1][max2].xxxx() is the line that causes error

max1 = 34, max2 = 1 .... allowable[38][175]

struct structname
{
....
int (*xxxxx) (void);
.....
};

That's the best I can do.
