What is the difference between a Bus Error and a Segmentation Error?

Re: whats the difference?

I think you'd write a bit more about your enviroment. Those are all terms, which are not really exactly defined.

For a segmentation error you must work on a system, which works with segmented memory. When you access on a certain segment, which is not loaded or on which you has no rights, than you get a segmentation error.

You get a bus error when, for instance, the bus isn't free for access.

Do you develop PCI-cards or something else?

Re: whats the difference?

you check out these link...

1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault
2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_error

i am also in little confusion now... there is a little difference between these two errors
& both are related two memory access.
in one case you have memory but not the access for that...
& in other case, its either hardware problem or the insuficient memory..
(if my understanding is wrong plz correct me)
