Hey people,
Short question.
Is the SIGSEGV message I get on Linux the same as an "Access violation" on windows?
Thanks!

Yes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGSEGV). Why it so difficult to google some simple questions first? :)

I DID google it. But it appears that there are no usefull pages both mentioning SIGSEGV and Access Violations. :)
I'm not a linux expert so I can't directly see if the two mean the same thing.
Thanks anyway!

Sorry, I thought wiki gives all the information of SIGSEGV to understand that it mostly the same as an "Access Violation"(but not 100%, for example this message can be generated if user use killall command) :)
Ah SIGSEGV, my old friend. Yes, always make sure you keep your memory usage tight or he'll come visit you. :P
