What causes SIGSEGV error?

A SIGSEGV signal or segmentation error occurs when a process attempts to use a memory address that was not assigned to it by the MMU.

How do you overcome SIGSEGV?

Don't use pointers. And if you do always check for NULL pointers. Minimize the use of pointers, access any kind of arrays within its bounds, check whether pointer is NULL before using, make sure you allocate new memory before using a pointer which you have already freed (it may not be giving NULL ).
