Segmentation fault!

[mediator]

Hi the following code compiles fine and gives correcct output. But at the end it gives segmentation fault. Can anyone throw some light at it?

#include<iostream.h>

int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
 int i=0;
 cout<<"argc : "<<argc<<endl;
 while(argv) {cout<<argv[i]<<endl; i++;}
 
 return 0;
}

It's the while statement. Modify to

while(i < argc)

or substitute with

for(i = 0; i < argc; i++)

What's happening is the while condition is always true and you end up pointing outside the process space in {cout<<argv[i]<<endl; i++;}

Thanx for that. But can u please elaborate ur explanation a little more?

Read this and debug your program...

Ok, thanx!

What I mean is use a debugger to debug your program... where I live it's the same thing, but I guess in English it may mean different things...
