c - Segmentation fault in sigaction signal handler -


in below code, if i'm declaring old_act global variable program works fine. if declared inside main:

  1. if sa_restart used, works fine
  2. if sa_restart not used, causes segmentation fault.

can please me comprehend happening.

void sighandler(int signum) {         printf("caught signal:%d pressed ctrl+c!!\n",signum); }  int main() {         struct sigaction act_h;         struct sigaction old_act;         act_h.sa_handler = sighandler; //      act_h.sa_flags = sa_restart;         sigaction(sigint,&act_h,&old_act);          printf("this infinite loop\n");         int remain=sleep(10);         printf("remaining time in sec : %d\n",remain);         printf("before second sleep\n");         sleep(10);         printf("this infinite loop\n");         return 0; }

from gdb looks function call happening @ illegal location ,but not sure:

try resetting members of act_h 0 before assigning it. sa_flags has random value making signal action behave differently.

int main() {         struct sigaction act_h;         struct sigaction old_act;          //reset members         memset(&act_h, 0, sizeof(act_h));         act_h.sa_handler = sighandler;         .... //continue code;  }
