    Ooops! I missed the char at the top. It does compile with GCC for x86 on a i686 board, but I get a seg fault too.

    That's it.
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.

    Modify this line:
    Code:
           ) ; { char *			   __3_14= "3.1415";
    to this:
    Code:
           ) ; { char  			   __3_14[]="3.1415";
    That should get it running for you.

    It just changes the memory from read-only to writable.

    'e' if you are asking about the value printed on the console.

    You left out a couple options:

    "Student giving back to the community."
    "Help the community? I just visit the General Discussions board."

    A week ago I would have placed myself into one of those two categories, but now since I guess I "officially" have my degree, I place myself in the "professional giving back to the community" category...although honestly I mostly just visit the GD board these days

    District 9 is actually the result of a failed Halo movie.
