Hi,

Here is the code

bool A::clear(void) {
    if (m_active) {
      return val;
    } else {
      return true;
    }
  } // end A::clear
  
  bool A::initialize(void) {
    if (m_active) {
      return clear();
    } else {
      return true;
    }
  } // end A::initialize

getting the below segmenation fault as soon as it enters executing the clear() function
Incurred fault #6, FLTBOUNDS %pc = 0xFFFFFD7FFDE049C4
/1: siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x1FDE73940
/1: Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [caught]
/1: siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x1FDE73940

If initialize() directly returns the val, without caling the clear(), it works.
Can some help me on this

Is val a global variable, or a class variable? It sounds like a scope issue...

Val is a class variable, if the clear() function just returns true or false, not the val , still it crashes as soon as it enters the clear() function.
