Boy, it's amazing the lengths people go to to defend their statements. Even more so, when those statements are all partially right and partially incorrect.
You forget there are several commercial variants of unix (solaris, irix, MacOS/Darwin, etc) where gdb is not the default debugger.
As a matter of fact, you can't assume that. There are windows emulators that run under other operating systems.
Yes, it does. However, when a forum post asks for help with code that generates a segmentation fault, it is a fair bet the poster is working under some variant of Unix. I would agree (see above) that does not justify an assumption they can/will use gdb.
Segmentation faults, when they occur under windows, are usually reported as a STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION exception (in either an error message, or within a popup dialog). There is no reference in that error message to the term "segmentation fault".
