I have a porgram that I build successfully but when I run the program I get a segfault.
In the build of this program I make link to many libraries:
-llib1 -llib2 -llib3
the segfault is not related to the source code but it's related to the one of library load lib2.
I tried with a hello world program
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
printf("hello world! \n");
}
I get a segfault when I build with -llib1 -llib2 -llib3
But I do not get a segfault when I build with -llib1 -llib3
Generally (without details) What could be the possible cause of this segfault?
EDIT
the lib2 contains the following lines in one of its header files
# ifdef __GNUC__
__attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, 3, 4)))
# endif /* __GNUC__ */
Does the above code could cause a segfault?
from the open source libminixml
