Subject: [9fans] constant string
Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2004 10:15:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pan.2004.03.07.05.32.00.621137@hotpop.com> (raw)
hi,
this is my program
------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char *s = "Hello";
s[2] = 'z';
printf ("%s\n", s);
return 0;
}
------------------------------------------
my question is when i compile this in Linux (gcc) i get a segmentation
fault at the second statement of main(),
As far as my knowledge i think this is because in 2nd chapter of K&R book
it is being mentioned that
' any thing enclosed between " and " is a string constant' so here i am
changing a constant, and i get a segmentation fault ( and i also noticed
that gcc stores the string Hello in read-only datasegment)
but when i compile the same thing in plan9 C compiler ( both native "8c"
and "pcc" i get a output of "Hezlo")
why this is happenning..
sorry if i am posting to wrong group,
thanks in advance
prem
