Segmentation Fault
Hey Everyone,
I am trying to compile and run a program for my C++ class, and I am getting a Segmentation Fault as a runtime error. I looked at my code and my datafile to make sure that there was not an issue but I can not seem to find whats giving me the error. Below I have placed my code and the datafile I am using during runtime. I have to use the terminal in Ubuntu to compile/link/run, and this is the way my professor wants me to write the code.
Thanks in advance for any help!

862.43The program is halting at this line:
void Insert( List_t &List, Addr_t &Start, Addr_t Pred, Addr_t &Avail,cAccount NewAccount) { Addr_t Curr; Curr=Avail; Avail=Avail+1; List[Curr].Account=NewAccount; ///breaks hereAnd is doing so on the very first record (John Walker)
You also have many warnings that you should attend to, such as at
if(choice=="YES"||choice=="yes"||choice=="Yes")You cannot compare array based strings with the == operator, you must use one of the strcmp( ) functions.
You have several variables/parameters that don't get used.
Here is my new code, I got it to compile/run on my schools machines through PUTTY in windows, however when I try to run on my home Ubuntu, I get the Segmentation Fault. Is it perhaps an error with the library files? I will keep working on it, but I just want to know why I can not get it to run on my machine....

//*************************************************************************************************Telling us the program aborts with Seg Fault doesn't tell us much - just that you've encountered a memory error.
You need to track down the error. I pointed out where the error manifests itself, but that's not the place the cause. You need to start at the line I pointed out and backtrack all the variables involved. Use of a debugger is really needed here, so you can, while the code is executing, follow the path back to the problem source.
I'll tell you this - it's a variable that's not initialized. You look at it a while more.
First, compile with as many warnings as you can.
The compiler will spot things like uninitialised variables, which is a common mistake. Fortunately for you, this seems not to be the case, but still there are issues.

(gdb)Now go read up on gdb to find other useful commands, say
- setting breakpoints
- examining variables.

No, 99.99% of the time, it will be your code. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#id382249
You should generally regard "success" on the first system as including a fair amount of "luck".

I must just be missing a library file on my pc if I can run it at school and not at home....

No, if it compiled at home, you have everything needed.
Don't blame the tools, blame the carpenter.
Did it in fact run correctly at school? Or did it just run and crash, and not give you a clear signal that it crashed?
You've been given a lot of help and information - use it.

No at school it runs perfectly, no warnings in the compile/link and no anomalies in the run time. All the functions that are called do exactly what they are supposed to which is why I think there is something wrong with my PC. I also had my peers trace through the code and they came to the same conclusion... if it works on Ubuntu at school why does it not work on Ubuntu at home.
You can see from Salem's backtrace that the program dumped in the function load() : #6 0x080499bf in Load (List=@0xbfc309a0, Start=@0xbfc33ec4, Avail=@0xbfc33ec0) at foo.cpp:224
So that narrows it down a bit. One thing that I notice is that you never check if the file is successfully opened before reading from it.
Your typedefs look a bit suspicious too.

Please forget missing library files, as a matter of fact, what do you actually mean by missing library files?
The only way that it seems to run succesfully (that is, without crashing), is to have it read an empty input file.
[EDIT]
What compiler are you using ..
- at school:
- at home:
> No at school it runs perfectly, no warnings in the compile/link and no anomalies in the run time.
That's just pure dumb luck.
I look at your main() and I see a whole host of uninitialised variables.
The fact that it runs at school just means you got 'good' crap in those variables.
At home, you get a different set of crap values, and a different outcome.
Start by making sure EVERYTHING is initialised.

got it solved, it will work when I set Avail=0; in main
thanks for the help and im sorry if i seemed frustrated, i am very much a newbie to c++

Yep, that's the one I referred to before. As Salem said, you should initialize ALL variables, so you start from a known state. In the case of Avail, it has to be 0 when the program starts.
Did you track down how many times that bad value was passed from function to function to function....?

well in main load called add, which called insert and search4pred so from its deceleration in main, at least 3 times, well for each singular data item in the file
makes my head spin!
