我们在用C/C++语言写程序的时侯,内存管理的绝大部分工作都是需要我们来做的。实际上,内存管理是一个比较繁琐的工作,无论你多高明,经验多丰富,难免会在此处犯些小错误,而通常这些错误又是那么的浅显而易于消除。但是手工“除虫”(debug),往往是效率低下且让人厌烦的,本文将就"段错误"这个内存访问越界的错误谈谈如何快速定位这些"段错误"的语句。
下面将就以下的一个存在段错误的程序介绍几种调试方法:
dummy_function (void) { unsigned char *ptr = 0x00; *ptr = 0x00; } int main (void) { dummy_function (); return 0; }
作为一个熟练的C/C++程序员,以上代码的bug应该是很清楚的,因为它尝试操作地址为0的内存区域,而这个内存区域通常是不可访问的禁区,当然就会出错了。我们尝试编译运行它:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ ./a.out
段错误
果然不出所料,它出错并退出了。
1.利用gdb逐步查找段错误:
这种方法也是被大众所熟知并广泛采用的方法,首先我们需要一个带有调试信息的可执行程序,所以我们加上“-g -rdynamic"的参数进行编译,然后用gdb调试运行这个新编译的程序,具体步骤如下:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ gcc -g -rdynamic d.c
xiaosuo@gentux test $ gdb ./a.out

(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/xiaosuo/test/a.out
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x08048524 in dummy_function () at d.c:4
4 *ptr = 0x00;
(gdb)
哦?!好像不用一步步调试我们就找到了出错位置d.c文件的第4行,其实就是如此的简单。
从这里我们还发现进程是由于收到了SIGSEGV信号而结束的。通过进一步的查阅文档(man 7 signal),我们知道SIGSEGV默认handler的动作是打印”段错误"的出错信息,并产生Core文件,由此我们又产生了方法二。
2.分析Core文件:
Core文件是什么呢?
The default action of certain signals is to cause a process to terminate and produce a core dump file, a disk file containing an image of the process's memory at the time of termination. A list of the signals which cause a process to dump core can be found in signal(7).
以上资料摘自man page(man 5 core)。不过奇怪了,我的系统上并没有找到core文件。后来,忆起为了渐少系统上的拉圾文件的数量(本人有些洁癖,这也是我喜欢Gentoo的原因之一),禁止了core文件的生成,查看了以下果真如此,将系统的core文件的大小限制在512K大小,再试:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ ulimit -c
0
xiaosuo@gentux test $ ulimit -c 1000
xiaosuo@gentux test $ ulimit -c
1000
xiaosuo@gentux test $ ./a.out
段错误(core dumped)
xiaosuo@gentux test $ ls
a.out core d.c f.c g.c pango.c test_iconv.c test_regex.c
core文件终于产生了,用gdb调试一下看看吧:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ gdb ./a.out core

#0 0x08048524 in dummy_function () at d.c:4
4 *ptr = 0x00;
哇,好历害,还是一步就定位到了错误所在地,佩服一下Linux/Unix系统的此类设计。
接着考虑下去,以前用windows系统下的ie的时侯,有时打开某些网页,会出现“运行时错误”,这个时侯如果恰好你的机器上又装有windows的编译器的话,他会弹出来一个对话框,问你是否进行调试,如果你选择是,编译器将被打开,并进入调试状态,开始调试。
Linux下如何做到这些呢?我的大脑飞速地旋转着,有了,让它在SIGSEGV的handler中调用gdb,于是第三个方法又诞生了:
3.段错误时启动调试:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <signal.h> #include <string.h> void dump(int signo) { char buf[1024]; char cmd[1024]; FILE *fh; snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "/proc/%d/cmdline", getpid()); if(!(fh = fopen(buf, "r"))) exit(0); if(!fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), fh)) exit(0); fclose(fh); if(buf[strlen(buf) - 1] == '\n') buf[strlen(buf) - 1] = '\0'; snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), "gdb %s %d", buf, getpid()); system(cmd); exit(0); } void dummy_function (void) { unsigned char *ptr = 0x00; *ptr = 0x00; } int int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { signal(SIGSEGV, &dump); dummy_function (); return 0; }
编译运行效果如下:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ gcc -g -rdynamic f.c
xiaosuo@gentux test $ ./a.out
GNU gdb 6.5

#6 0x08048886 in main () at f.c:38
怎么样?是不是依旧很酷?
以上方法都是在系统上有gdb的前提下进行的,如果没有呢?其实glibc为我们提供了此类能够dump栈内容的函数簇,详见/usr/include/execinfo.h(这些函数都没有提供man page,难怪我们找不到),另外你也可以通过gnu的手册进行学习。
4.利用backtrace和objdump进行分析:
重写的代码如下:
#include <execinfo.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <signal.h> /* A dummy function to make the backtrace more interesting. */ void dummy_function (void) { unsigned char *ptr = 0x00; *ptr = 0x00; } void dump(int signo) { void *array[10]; size_t size; char **strings; size_t i; size = backtrace (array, 10); strings = backtrace_symbols (array, size); printf ("Obtained %zd stack frames.\n", size); for (i = 0; i < size; i++) printf ("%s\n", strings[i]); free (strings); exit(0); } int int main (int argc, char argv[]) { signal(SIGSEGV, &dump); dummy_function (); return 0; }
编译运行结果如下:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ gcc -g -rdynamic g.c
xiaosuo@gentux test $ ./a.out
Obtained 5 stack frames.
./a.out(dump+0x19) [0x80486c2]
[0xffffe420]
./a.out(main+0x35) [0x804876f]
/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0xb7e02866]
./a.out [0x8048601]
这次你可能有些失望,似乎没能给出足够的信息来标示错误,不急,先看看能分析出来什么吧,用objdump反汇编程序,找到地址0x804876f对应的代码位置:
xiaosuo@gentux test $ objdump -d a.out
8048765: e8 02 fe ff ff call 804856c <signal@plt>
804876a: e8 25 ff ff ff call 8048694 <dummy_function>
804876f: b8 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%eax
8048774: c9 leave
我们还是找到了在哪个函数(dummy_function)中出错的,信息已然不是很完整,不过有总比没有好的啊!
后记:
本文给出了分析"段错误"的几种方法,不要认为这是与孔乙己先生的"回"字四种写法一样的哦,因为每种方法都有其自身的适用范围和适用环境,请酌情使用,或遵医嘱。

附注 来自百度百科关于段错误的解释:
段错误
所谓的段错误就是指访问的内存超出了系统所给这个程序的内存空间,通常这个值是由gd tr来保存的,他是一个48位的寄存器,其中的32位是保存由它指向的 gdt表,后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
英文简介
A segmentation fault (often shortened to segfault) is a particular error condi tion that can occur during the operation of computer software. In short, a seg mentation fault occurs when a program attempts to access a memory location tha t it is not allowed to access, or attempts to access a memory location in a wa y 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. Segmentation is one approach to memory management and protection in the operat ing system. It has been superseded by paging for most purposes, but much of th e terminology of segmentation is still used, "segmentation fault" being an exa mple. Some operating systems still have segmentation at some logical level alt hough paging is used as the main memory management policy. On Unix-like operating systems, a process that accesses invalid memory receive s the SIGSEGV signal. On Microsoft Windows, a process that accesses invalid me mory receives the STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION exception. 另外,这里有个基本上对照的中文解释,来自库扩展阅读1;Quote:
一旦一个程序发生了 越界 访问, cpu 就会产生相应的保护,于是segmentation fault就出现 了通过上面的解释,段 错误 应该就是访问了不可访问的内存,这个 内存 区要么是不存在的, 要么是受到系统保护的,还有可能是缺少文件或者文件损坏。寻找程序安装维修按列,
错误的常见形式
在编程中以下几类做法容易导致段错误,基本是是错误地使用指针引起的
1)访问系统数据区,尤其是往 系统保护的内存地址写数据最常见就是给一个指针以0地址
2)内存越界(数组越界,变量类型不一致等) 访问到不属于你的内存区域解决方法我们在用C/C++语言写程序的时侯,内存管理的绝大部分工作都是需要我们来做的。实际上,内存管理是一个比较繁琐的工作,无论你多高明,经验多丰富,难 免会在此处犯些小错误,而通常这些错误又是那么的浅显而易于消除。但是手工“除虫”(debug),往往是效率低下且让人厌烦的,本文将就"段错误"这个 内存访问越界的错误谈谈如何快速定位这些"段错误"的语句。
