Package: gcc-4.0-base Version: 4.0.2-2 Severity: important When I compile and run the following program the definition of the arrays in the function leads to a segmentation fault when I try to access the "i" array. gdb tells me "Cannot access memeory address"
Here is a minimal test program that shows the error (at least on my system): #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define xdim 1000 #define ydim 1000 void analysis(){ double ddphi[xdim][ydim],mu[xdim][ydim]; int i[3]; i[1]=1; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ analysis(); return 0; } Presumably a work around is to avoid large local arrays and to replace them with global arrays, or if there is not enough space with allocated pointers. But I use these programs while teaching Physics, and the first option makes the programs less readable and the second option excceds the ability of many students. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-k7-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
