1、段错误的定义
英文:A segmentation fault (often shortened to segfault) is a particular error condition that can occur during the operation of computer software. In short, a segmentation fault occurs when a program attempts to access a memory location that it is not allowed to access, or attempts to access a memory location in a way that is not allowed (e.g., attempts to write to a read-only location, or to overwrite part of the operating system). Systems based on processors like the Motorola 68000 tend to refer to these events as Address or Bus errors.
中文:段错误:访问的内存超出了系统给这个程序的内存空间,通常这个值是由gdtr来保存的,gdtr是一个48位的寄存器,其中的32位是保存由它指向的 gdt表,中间13位保存相应于gdt的下标,最后3位包括了程序是否在内存中以及程序的在cpu中的运行级别,指向的gdt是由以64位为一个单位的表,在这张表中就保存着程序运行的代码段以及数据段的起始地址以及与此相应的段限和页面交换还有程序运行级别还有内存粒度等等的信息。一旦一个程序发生了越界访问,cpu就会产生相应的异常保护,于是segmentation fault就出现了。
