woo

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Asked by Michel Van de gaer

Sometimes Woo crashes (control windows) and I get this error:

--
Woo [2]: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
--

I’ve googled the term on the web, and the response there is:

"Segmentation fault “ means that you tried to access memory that you do not have access to.

So I guess this is a problem with Ubuntu and my machine not having enough memory available (within in Virtualbox) or is this something Woo-related?

Segmentation fault (sefault) is equivalent to access violation in windows or something similar in OSX. It is a bug in Woo itself, or some of its libraries. It has nothing to do with the amount of RAM you have, no worry.

Under which circumstances it happens? Is it reproducible? If you can find a reproducible pattern causing crash, please report a bug about it, it is something which should not happen.

Cheers, v.
