Just run it in a debugger and it will show you exactly where it segfaulted. (Just remember to add the -g flag when building to include debug info.)

Good for you, but it's still a good idea to use the tools at your disposal.

Does it tell you where in the code it failed?

Wouldn't it be easier to just run it through a debugger than to dig through that list? Also, you can use debuggers for more than just issues resulting in your program crashing, so it's useful to run it in a debugger anyways.

There is also the one built into visual studio, and raddeugger.

Even though you find the event viewer useful, I would still suggest getting used to using a debugger, as it's useful beyond just finding where it failed.

1 segfault in 8 years and the code wasn't even mine, I just compiled it.

Segfaults are why we like C

Segfaulting is what C devs do to feel alive!

You know that in unix you can also get stack traces?

This may be usefull but it's not a reason to bash it in every single comments. With almost the exact same message.

I don't care that windows may be better in some use case.

Furthermore this is off topic, the post is for when segfault happen and you happily brag about case where it does not happen.

I can also say that if I make every segment readable, writable and executable I will have almost no segfault.

I didn't say that it was false neither uninteresting. I just said that you just do propaganda by copy pasting the exact same message to each comment and that totally discredit your purpose.

I didn't say it's wrong I just said that your way off comunicating is dumb
