Thread: Seg Fault on return from main?????

What could do this???

if my main function ends in...

Code:

printf("Make program die now\n\n");
return 0;
}

It gives this output:

Make program die now

Segmentation Fault

But if the main function ends like this:

Code:

printf("Make program live now\n\n");
exit(0);
return 0;
}

Then it completes fine!

I've got some other code of various things above that, but what is the difference between what exit(0) is doing and what return 0 is doing, and what could cause a segfault on the return from main?

You should really compile with full warnings.

If your funcion return 0; then it must be declared has:

int main() {
...
return 0;
}

or simply:

main() {
....
return 0;
}

Ain't either of those, compiled with full warnings and got no counterindications...

Seems to only happen when compiled on one computer, I compiled on a different box and it worked normally, was able to return. Still no warnings.

Problem with gcc 2.95.3 perhaps? Or maybe the math library?

I'd post the code but its for homework and I don't want my teacher thinking I'm trying to cheat :!
