Program received signal:  "EXC_BAD_ACCESS". error

I get this error sometimes when I test application on device.
Program received signal: “EXCBADACCESS”.
Why this error occurs and how can it be resolved ?
Thanks for help.

Simulators never have 100% fidelity. If you are developing on a simulator you have to be extra careful that you are doing everything perfectly. Many developers just assume that code is correct when it appears to work properly. That logic fails when you are developing on a simulator.
There is no easy answer. You need to review your code much more carefully.

  • RunModalForDirector crashes with Program received signal:  "EXC_BAD_ACCESS"

    I am new to objective-c programming and I am trying to fix a bug in some existing code. So apologies if the solution to my problem is simple.
    The following section of code crashes with a Program received signal: “EXCBADACCESS” error message when trying to open a window and I don't know why.
    [oPanel runModalForDirectory:nil file:nil types:fileTypes]
    in the following function:
    NSString * SelectDirectory()
    NSString* fname;
    fname = nil;
    // printf("loading files\n");
    NSArray *fileTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"asc", nil];
    // Create the File Open Panel class.
    NSOpenPanel* oPanel = [NSOpenPanel openPanel];
    [oPanel setCanChooseDirectories:YES];
    [oPanel setCanChooseFiles:NO];
    [oPanel setCanCreateDirectories:YES];
    [oPanel setAllowsMultipleSelection:NO];
    [oPanel setAlphaValue:0.95];
    [oPanel setTitle:@"Select a directory to open"];
    // Display the dialog. If the OK button was pressed, process the files.
    if ( [oPanel runModalForDirectory:nil file:nil types:fileTypes] == NSOKButton )
    NSLog(@"fname before assignment: %@",fname);
    // Get an array containing the full filenames of all files and directories selected.
    fname = [oPanel filename];
    NSLog(@"fname after assignment: %@",fname);
    else
    fname = nil;
    // printf("No directory Selected");
    return (fname);

    The problem doesn't seem to be with SelectDirectory(), it is with MyFooGLView. Perhaps that view is trying to do something that requires the event loop but you have it locked up in your modal dialog. Try using callbacks in a modeless dialog instead.

  • Kdevelop + GDB + QT = Program received signal SIGTRAP

    Hi there!
    I installed Arch Linux a few days ago and I got back to work on some of my projects.
    I'm programming an application which uses QT 4.3.3 with KDevelop and it runs
    just fine but when I try to debug it I always get an error message saying
    "Program received signal SIGTRAP" and after that the debugger (gdb) stops responding
    without giving any further error messages. I don't think it's an application source problem
    since with Ubuntu I could debug everything without any problem.
    I noticed that if I start gdb from the command line to do the same operations
    the program flows without problems.
    Why doesn't gdb work in Kdevelop? Do I have to configure something?
    Thx for your help
    PS. The program in built in debug mode.
    PS2.
    Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
    0xb7f67d81 in malloc () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2
    The program being debugged was signaled while in a function called from GDB.
    GDB remains in the frame where the signal was received.
    To change this behavior use "set unwindonsignal on"
    Evaluation of the expression containing the function (malloc) will be abandoned.

    SOLVED.
    It seems that there is some problem with Archlinux default kernel (I think it is 2.6.24-ARCH).
    After upgrading to 2.6.25 the problem disappeared. I don't know if it is something related to the kernel itself
    or some options disabled.Now, how can i signal this bug?

  • Program Received Signal: "SIGABRT"

    Hi, I am currently using Xcode 4.2 for Lion. I am using a normal Window-based application with a tab-bar for iPhone and iPad. Up until now, I haven't had any problems with this, but when I tried testing my app on an iPhone, I seem to be getting this message/error:
    Thread 1: Program received signal: "SIGABRT"
    And the thread that is being highlighted is
        int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);
    Normally when I get this error, it turns out that the problem is I have deleted an IBOutlet or IBAction in a header but not disconnected it in the XIB file. This time however, I have checked every XIB and found that there is no such problem.
    Also, whenever I run this program on the simulator, it seems to work fine, but once I run it on the iPhone it does this.
    It seems that the problem started after I insterted a link to the App Store, but even after deleting that, I am still having this problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    hi, 
               if we change the XCode project file from lower version to update version this type of problems may occur. I have already faced this. you have to use the break points where the problem. Basically it is the problem for releasing the object memory... Find out where it is happening and use Copy / retain keywords..... May helpful...

  • Method called more than once - and dies with EXC_BAD_ACCESS error

    Hi,
    In my app, I have 4 views with their respective viewControllers. In the appDelegate.m, I provide methods that allows to switch to any of these views. Following is code for switching to the editView:
    -(void) flipToEditView {
    [self populateTheList]; // populate an array
    EditViewController *anEditVC = [[EditViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"EditView" bundle:nil];
    [self setEditVC:anEditVC];
    [viewController.view removeFromSuperview];
    [self.window addSubview:[editVC view]];
    [anEditVC release]; }
    The view is not switched - and moreover, this method is called more than once; and the app dies with EXCBADACCESS!

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    Click the little arrow next to COM5 and it will list the COM ports that LabVIEW (and MAX) see and can use.  If yours isn't listed you'll need to figure out why.  If none are listed then you likely don't have VISA installed.
