I am getting a Bus Error with this very simple application, on my
MacBook Pro:
int main ( int argc, char *argv )
{
int c = getch();
//printf( "%c", c );
}
I compiling it with the following command line:
cc getch.c -lcurses
Is this me or libcurses in cause?
main is declared as returning an int and you aren't returning
anything. Try adding 'return 0;'.
I'd suggest compiling your code with warnings on, ideally via -
Wall. That'll catch things like this.
Changing the code to:
#include <curses.h>
int main ( int argc, char **argv )
{
getch();
return 0;
}
and compiling with -Wall:
cc getch2.c -Wall -lcurses
gives me no warnings and yet it still crashes. Commenting out getch
() the program no longer crashes.
Just curious as to whether this works for you? I am trying this on
MacOS X 10.4.8
A bit of Googling shows that you have to call initscr() before using
any curses APIs. That fixes this.
Hope this helps,
Eric
