when a core dump occurs ?

[Karl Meiser]

Usually its errors that cant be checked by the compiler,  such as missing
or incorrect arguments,  examples:

main()
{
long x;

printf("%s");   /*  Missing argument  */
printf("%d",x);  /*  Should be descriptor for long,  %d is for ints  */
}

Usually i find myself doing fprintf's without the file descriptor;

main()
{
FILE *fp;

fp = fopen("foo","r");

fprintf("Hello file named foo\n");
/* Should be
fprintf(fp,"Hello file named foo\n");
  */

fclose(fp);
}


Hope this helps.
