Bus Error Vs Segmentation Fault
error vs Segmentation fault up vote 25 down vote favorite 8 Difference between a bus error and a segmentation fault? Can it happen that a program gives a seg fault and stops for the first time and for the second time it
How To Debug Bus Error

If you register a signal handler using sigaction() and you set SA_SIGINFO, it may be possible to have your program examine the faulting memory address and handle only memory mapped file errors. share|improve this answer answered May 8 '09 at 16:04 bk1e 17.9k43760 add a comment| up vote 5 down vote For instance, a bus error might be caused when your program tries to do something that the hardware bus doesn't support. On SPARCs, for instance, trying to read a multi-byte value (such as an int, 32-bits) from an odd address generated a bus error. Segmentation faults happen for instance when you do an access that violate the segmentation rules, i.e. trying to read or write memory that you don't own. share|improve this answer answered Ma

(November 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this bus error ubuntu template message) In computing, a segmentation fault (often shortened to bus error python segfault) or access violation is a fault raised by hardware with memory protection, notifying an operating sigbus error linux system (OS) about a memory access violation; on x86 computers this is a form of general protection fault. The OS kernel will, in response, usually perform some http://stackoverflow.com/questions/838540/bus-error-vs-segmentation-fault corrective action, generally passing the fault on to the offending process by sending the process a signal. Processes can in some cases install a custom signal handler, allowing them to recover on their own,[1] but otherwise the OS default signal handler is used, generally causing abnormal termination of the process (a program crash), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault and sometimes a core dump. Segmentation faults are a common class of error in programs written in languages like C that provide low-level memory access. They arise primarily due to errors in use of pointers for virtual memory addressing, particularly illegal access. Another type of memory access error is a bus error, which also has various causes, but is today much rarer; these occur primarily due to incorrect physical memory addressing, or due to misaligned memory access – these are memory references that the hardware cannot address, rather than references that a process is not allowed to address. Newer programming languages may employ mechanisms designed to avoid segmentation faults and improve memory safety. For example, the Rust programming language employs an 'Ownership'[2] based model to ensure memory safety.[3] Contents 1 Overview 2 Causes 3 Handling 4 Examples 4.1 Writing to read-only memory 4.2 Null pointer dereference 4.3 Buffer overflow 4.4 Stack overflow 5 See also 6
