Debugging error in C: Process stopped wtih error code 139 - c

one of my colleague is running Ubuntu on a VM.
On this machine, CLion is installed.
The projects I've copied on his system, can be built.
But running an executable failes.
We got the error code 139.
(Process finished with exit code 139 (interrupted by signal 11: SIGSEGV))
So we started with steb-by-step debugging and fint out,
it is possible to create pointers and give them an adress,
but it isn't allowed to allocate memory (using malloc/calloc/...).
Due to we use normal system libraries, which are using e.g. malloc, in our project,
it's it's obviously a bigger problem for us.
Does someone have this error before and knows how we can solve our problem?
I guess, it's a problem with our VM environment, so somehow we have to allow memory allocation.
Am I right?
Thanks in advance
Matthias

Access is denied while running a C output

I am getting an error while running the output(a.exe) of a C program. Command prompt showing "Access is denied". I have reinstalled gcc but same problem is arriving. Here is the screenshot of error
That output is seen, when you try to run a x64 binary on a x86 system.
But there are numerous other possibilities.
Another likely possibility is your Antivirus realtime scanning.
Be sure it does not block access for you.
Provide more details and I'll update this accordingly.

memory management error while installing festival 2.4

I am trying to install festival 2.4 in fedora 24, I have installed the tool with a few warnings alone, when I try to invoke the festival command using "bin/festival" it gives a memory management error on the usage of free() function. I understand it is related to dynamic memory management, but I do not know how to fix it. Please let me the solutions.
Memory Management Error is shown along with BSOD, and it could be an annoying problem. The easiest method for this problem is to simply restart your system.
if Memory Management error message still persists, you follow the instructions below:
Run Diagnostics to Check Your System for Memory Problems
Run SFC/SCANNOW
Scan your computer for viruses and malicious programs

Compiled C files getting no access error

I'm running the MinGW compiler (gcc port for windows). After messing around with the paths I got it running and compiled a program. Now the executable won't open. If i run it from the command line i get access denied. If i run it from windows explorer i get the same thing but in a popup. Avg is also giving me trojan reports about my own program.
I have no idea of what might be happening with your anti-virus, but I have heard from fellow programmers that antivirus can be very annoying giving false-positives these days. Anyway, check that the program that you generated is indeed giving some sort of "Access denied" error instead of "Access violation". The most likely cause is that your program can not access certain dll's that it needs to run, like libgcc_sj.dll (not really sure about the name), or even some msvcrt??.dll . The easiest way to check for the list of dll's that your program depends upon is with an utility distributed in the Window's SDK called "depends.exe".
Good luck!

viewing the stack when a crash happens

i am using AIX OS.here i am facing a problem that when ever the process crashes there is no stack written in the log.it just gives an information of signal11/10/4 has occured.
but no stack is shown.
since the code is an optimized code i am even not able to debud using dbx.gdb is not installed.
could you please suggest how to see the stack trace whenever the program crashes.
might be with any other tool or incase any cheet method to follow to view the actual stack trace?
advance thanks for the help.
This works on AIX 5.1:
Use the ulimit command to set the limit for core dumps, before you start the binary (the limit is likely set to 0, which means you're not getting any core dump at all). You will need to do this in the same shell as the process you run. Then you can use the debugger to see the stack in the core. You will need to have debugging symbols in the binary to make much sense out of it, though. Check 'man ulimit' to see how ulimit works. Good luck!

gethostbyname win32 error

I am using the gethostbyname() function in the usual manner...
iaHost.s_addr = inet_addr(lpServerName);
if (iaHost.s_addr == INADDR_NONE)
{
// Wasn't an IP address string, assume it is a name
lpHostEntry = 0;
lpHostEntry = gethostbyname(lpServerName);
}
to access my web site and return information. The variable, "lpServerName", can be any host, e.g., "google.com" or the loop-back, "127.0.0.1".
My system: Windows x64 or x32 (it doesn't matter the same error occurs) running on an AMD Opteron system, XAMPP is on my machine and I use it for debugging purposes, my compiler is Microsoft Visual c++ 2005.
Here's the problem: when I use the loop-back address, the code above works fine. When I try and access a web site exterior to my computer I get the following error: "Windows has triggered a breakpoint in test_gethostbyname.exe. This may be due to a corruption of the heap, and indicates a bug in test_gethostbyname.exe or any of the DLLs it has loaded. The output window may have more diagnostic information". The program, "test_gethostbyname.exe", contains only the parts of the code from a much larger project that apply to accessing the internet. Thus, I don't think the heap is being corrupted by anything I have done. I have tried the "getaddrinfo" command with the same results. I have searched the web for any kind of information on this problem with no joy (other than segmentation faults on unix systems).
Does anyone know of any problem with this command that would cause this error to occur?
Thanks in advance,
Jay
I see you are checking for INADDR_NONE but what about the other fail state INADDR_ANY
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738563(VS.85).aspx
What string are you passing to gethostbyname()? Odds are there is something wrong with the format of lpServerName.
I have found the answer. The problem appears to be the libraries on my XP system. As I mentioned before, I compiled the program on another XP system without problem. I compiled the system on my development system with Windows 7 and Visual c++ 8 express and it worked.
Is lpServerName:
not NULL terminated
NULL
already deleted
My guess would be that it's not NULL terminated.
Perhaps inet_addr will stop even if it doens't see a NULL termination, so that's why it works when you use a normal IP dotted string.
I have played with whether or not the string is null terminated and the error has not gone away. The example I have compiled is from the Microsoft description of gethostname() which I would assume is functionally correct, but I still get the error.
This morning I recompiled the example on another machine that is using the express version of visual c++ and the error does not happen. Thus, I am beginning to suspect that there might be a problem with the libraries libraries on my development machine, so I am going to reinstall the compiler and the platform SDK and see if this corrects the problem.
