RE: Segmentation faults and Core Dump

["Kondaiah (IE10)" <Kondaiah@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

you can  use "strace" on your exe file to get the some insight into what are
all the system calls called in your program. By using that info you can
track down what is happening?? Segmentation faults will come 
due to read/write from/to a un allocated memory zone. 
Check all pointer manipulations in ur program.
Thanks
