Re: [Dev-C++] Core dumped error - linux, gcc 4.1.2

You are using memory that you don't own. Either you are using
uninitialized pointers, or you have a valid block of memory (for example
an array) but you are trying to access the block outside the available
memory (for example by using an incorrect index to an array, or
incrementing a pointer past the end of the allocated memory and then using
the pointer).

Build the program with debug information, and then start it in gdb. It
will show you where you get the segmentation error.
